I had no clue Urban Squirrel was in the area so I was very excited to give the place a look. I was very enticed by what I saw outside. The place is antique oriented but it also has a craft like nature to it which is really cool. Some items are a combination of an antique and an art project which adds a very unique vision to the merchandise here. Urban Squirrel is a fun place to get a gift for someone or yourself and offer a unique, one of a kind flair to what they or you are receiving.

This mall is very large and diverse in styles and eras which I love. No one booth looks like another. The owners and staff are very friendly and are superb at creating a family like atmosphere. You can tell by the happy vendors that this is a spectacular mall to be in. We have a ton of great antique malls in the Pacific Northwest but this one remains my favorite not just because I vend here, but also because it is unique and different from any other mall I have been to. Many of the booths are so large they feel like their own store within the mall. And don't even get me started on the variety of clothes, shoes, and accessories! Not only can you find antique and vintage pieces for your collection, but there are also a ton of hard to find modern styles and pieces as well. If you don't have this mall on your map, you are totally missing out! The variety can't be beat.

He only carries authentic antiques (100+ years), and does his research to price appropriately. The display changes weekly, so it's always a delight to discover something you may have missed the last time you visited. David also takes worthy antiques on commission. The store is chock full of great finds that look beautiful in any style setting. Of note: As of January 18, 2022, the hours are Wednesday - Saturday, 10am - 4pm (closed Sun, Mon, Tues). That might change during the summer. Always call to make sure. Next time I visit the store, I will take pictures and post.

S&S is among one of the funkiest/fun antique places I've been to. The building itself is a cool antique, full of mystery stairs and wooden ramps which used to support Model T's, I presume.

Whoever thought having "all records $5" right next to a "records $10-$15" sign and telling me "yeah, I barely work here and don't know why that $5 sign is there" tells me one of two things. You're lying or incompetent. There is a huge collection of records, and most of them are missing, damaged vinyls/sleeves, and complete unknowns not even worth $1. Do better with your prices or try to clean up the collection, and work at it a bit.

It was clear from the beginning that he intended to resell the item in his store. After receiving it, he stopped responding and was refunded by Facebook. Leaving me without the item or any payment. I made several attempts to resolve the issue directly, but was completely ignored. This behavior is deceptive and highly unprofessional.
