    We love to see a bookstore thriving!! This is so much more than just a bookstore (and adjoining…read morepaper/confectionery/novelty shop). Its a community hub! I recently moved to Bellingham and Village Books (and paper dreams) actually really swayed me to move here. Its a book palace, 3 stories of well organized selection. The front facing books are well chosen, and the used books are interspersed with the new books. There are quite a few staff picks sections, all of which are super interesting and worth looking over. Three days before Christmas 2025 I was there trying to pick out a horror book for a friend of mine. Horror is not my genre (more of a fantasy and literature gal myself), so I for sure needed guidance. The shop lady spent so much time reviewing the whole horror section with me . When we couldn't find the main book we decided on me buying, she spent the time looking everywhere for it. She enlisted the help of two additional staff members. When she was needed for another task, she made sure one of the other shop ladies had me covered. I ended up ordering the book, which came in a few days and they texted me when it arrived. Easy peasy! I will never forget that experince, especially as the store was jam packed with x-mas shoppers. Village books in fairhaven is the spot! My only note is that their bookclubs could be better. The bookclubs are during the day and don't have different genre selections (they are mostly nonfiction). There is a silent reading bookclub that I might try. They could be cultivating different types of communities (ie book clubs geared towards romantasy, sci-fi, literature, etc.), but maybe that will come with time.

    I really wanted to love the store. I'm long time book lover and one who worked in the book…read moreindustry for over 20 years. This store seemingly has it all; great selection of books, both knew and used, lots of old wood, and a staff that seems knowledgeable if a little bit unhappy. The last part can explain why the vibe is just off. It just doesn't feel comfortable nor welcoming, and if I had to put my finger on the cause, I would say it is likely due to management. I witnessed firsthand how the store manager ignored customers in line waiting to pay because he was on the phone. You never ignore the customers who are right in front of you. I wish the store all the best, but I'm gonna take my book shopping business elsewhere.

    I personally have never experienced a store like this that makes me feel like I've stepped into a…read morefairy tale. I feel as if I was transported to a place where there is not a worry in the world. The inside of the store is lovely, but the outside is where the true beauty lies. Take your time as you make your way through the peaceful path of sculptures. Soak in the beauty of the surrounding trees. Take a moment to stop and look at every detail. I would have purchased everything in here if the wallet was a bit heavier. It is pretty pricey, but everything is beautifully made. Don't miss out on this store, especially if you're exploring Chuckanut Drive.

    What a delightful wonderland of art, sculpture and hand-crafted goods! The staff at Chuckanut Bay…read moreGallery and Sculpture Garden do an amazing job curating the art they sell. Everything is vibrantly colored, whimsical, and awe-inspiring. The displays are expertly assembled because I found myself wanting one of everything - flooded with so many ideas of how I'd display each of the pieces in my home or garden. Make sure you don't miss the sculpture garden. As you head out the door, turn left and make the loop downhill and around the entire garden space. You'll cross bridges, walk through little nooks and crannies, and feel like you've been transported to an enchanted dreamscape. There is a wide variety of art here, with pieces in every price range. Even the grand sculptures and large works of art seem to be reasonably priced - the issue will be transporting all of your finds home safely. Many of the sculptures are quite large and have intricate pieces, but don't worry, the staff can easily accomodate your shipping and transport needs. If you are visiting Chuckanut Drive, make sure you don't miss this wonderful gallery!
