This weeks intro:  Swains General Store

Swain's General Store is a classic, locally owned general store in Port Angeles that has been around since 1957. It’s one of those unusual stores where you can walk in for one thing and discover a dozen other departments.

What makes Swain’s interesting
Huge selection: The store covers about 38,300 square feet on two floors, with hardware, clothing, shoes, sporting goods, fishing and hunting gear, camping supplies, garden items, home goods, toys, and more.

Outdoor gear: It's particularly useful if you're heading into Olympic National Park, Hurricane Ridge, or the surrounding wilderness and realize you've forgotten something—rain gear, camping supplies, fishing equipment, footwear, etc.

Hardware and practical services: They offer things like key cutting, paint matching/mixing, rope and chain cutting, knife sharpening, fishing-reel line winding, propane-tank exchange, and various repair services.

Licenses and passes: They sell Washington hunting/fishing licenses as well as certain recreation/forest passes.

Clothing and boots: There's a surprisingly substantial apparel and footwear selection, including outdoor/work clothing.

Local character: Swain's deliberately maintains an old-fashioned general-store atmosphere. Its original slogan was “Tents, trinkets, tools, tackle, and trousers.”

A little history
Cliff and Bee Swain opened the store in 1957, initially selling military surplus, hardware, and fishing gear. It expanded repeatedly over the decades and evolved into the enormous general store it is today. The company says community giving has also been an important part of its history, with the store and Swain's Family Foundation reporting nearly $1 million in donations and sponsorships over the years.

Where it is
602 E. 1st St., Port Angeles, WA 98362
Phone: (360) 452-2357

The store's current website lists hours as 8 AM–8 PM Monday–Saturday and 9 AM–6 PM Sunday.
