Bach & Rock was a shop we just stumbled across while we were out and about in Astoria. It was a…read morepart of downtown we haven't explored too thoroughly prior which is the explanation I am going with. This place is loaded with musical instruments, they sell CD's and other physical forms of music that have long stopped seeing new prints in a broad way. For movies they have DVD's, VHS and probably any other form of physical media I am not mentioning for movies. On top of that this place is kind of an incense heaven. The selection is huge and there were at least five different spots I found in the store where they had incense sticks. I bought quite a bit and was pleased with finding so many scents I don't normally come across. The atmosphere is quirky to say the least. Not only is their windblowing instruments everywhere, it's loaded with plants and other decor that definitely gives this place a unique signature. And of course the fact that a real parrot was here only enhanced that. And of course we had to swing by and say "hi" to the bird.

I never went to the other spot but this one is on the main drag in the Doupé building. 108 First Ave S, Ilwaco, WA 98624 Highly recommended. The owner is super nice and set up a well stocked and cozy shop. Great prices and variety. If you wanna peruse some good finds and lost classics you've been wanting, be sure to check out Ship Wrecords & Moor.

A cozy, nautical themed music shop just off the little town's main path. The clever name on the…read morefront window caught my attention and I just HAD to check it out. I'm glad I did, because I found CD's of some of my old favorites, as well as an odd gem for my father. There is SO much merchandise---vinyl, tape, and CD--to comb through, but it's fun and worth the time. Plus, if you find something you like and don't have the old equipment needed to listen to it, there is a wide range of old music players for sale! The owner is very nice and will help you find what you're looking for. If your adventure partner isn't equally enthused by the treasure trove, there are couches to relax on while they wait. (open on Sundays!)

Barter for a great deal. Think of this place as a type of pawn shop as far as what they carry. They will buy used gear from you or trade. Pretty kick back attitude and funny signs all around the store. Damn big place too, so spend some time, and look around, move some boxes, look behind things, etc. Lot's of hidden treasures abound of things that you may or may not need. One thing that I noticed is the guy that works there can be left to man the fort by himself and it seems that all hell breaks loose when this happens (phones ring off the hook, customers come in with all sorts of questions, etc.). He handles the rush really well, so try to cut him some slack if he is busy. I see so many rude clerks and staff at places that are snotty for no reason at all, so when I see this guy busting his back and keeping his cool, he deserves some common courtesy. This is a cool, local shop that gives Astoria some quirky character that keeps us as weird as Portland will ever be, without as many Portlandia Freaks and Geeks to annoy us here on our mossy coast. SHOP LOCAL!!!!!

I would describe this one as a family-friendly modern bookshop. The new fiction & children's book selection set this one apart from the other bookstores in town, in my opinion.
