We're One of A Kind!

As one of just a handful of bookstores along Washington's Outer Coast, the CIC bookstore is an especially great place to stock up on guidebooks and beach reads as you make your way up along the Olympic Peninsula.

Local Culture

Learn about local stories, from Quinault myths to Sasquatch stories.

Local Nature

Delve into mammals and insects, birds and amphibians, and everything in between!

Children's Books & Toys

Our selection of coastal-themed board books, picture books, stuffed animals, and coloring books is unmatched!

Toys & Keepsakes

Bring the coast back home with you. Find a glass float for your garden or a ship in a bottle for your grandchild. Puzzles and magnets are popular with all ages.
