I only had a limited amount of time in the area and wanted to find a boutique with locally made artisan pieces from and was lucky to find this one in one of the travel guides at my hotel. I picked up a few different items, a small bird made from re-purposed metal, a lovely necklace, a stylish cell phone holder, and some special sea salt. So much fun. I'll be back for sure the next time I'm in the area!

Wow, what a wonderful experience dealing with the extremely helpful staff at the Salish Sea Market…read more I had been in the store on a previous trip to the Island (what a treasure trove of unique gifts and art) and a relative fell in love with a piece but could not buy it at the time. I emailed the staff and they emailed me back with pictures and information about shipping, and made the process of buying an item without being in the store so absolutely painless and easy. I cannot thank them enough for helping me out. I really recommend having a look at their website www.salishseamarket.com/ or visiting in person when in the area. Special kudos to Vivian and Sarah

La Cache is a little tough to find even if you've been there before. It's so teeny, you could…read moreactually walk right past it ... well, I did & I was looking for it! But it's a great little store with an incredible variety of fashion. They carry Fluevog shoes, semi casual dresses, feminine night wear, pretty affordable silver jewelry. What really stands out though is their service. Even when the store is busy & there's only one person working, you will be acknowledged and looked after. They have an amazing policy for holding items. They impressed me anyways because I asked them to hold shoes that were on sale. Normally, stores will give you grief about such a request. But they held the item for a few days for me. I gave 4 stars rather than 5 only because the store is small so limited in stock. They actually deserve a 4 1/5
