A friend & I drove down to Ellensburg from Soap Lake to go antiquing. We choose the hottest day out of the year to do this lol, but anyway, the 1st shop we try going to is Howell Antiques. On his web page it says it opens @ 10, so @ 11:15am, we arrived at his shop to find it closed, so I called the # posted on his door, & asked if hed be opening soon, & he was just the rudest most meanest man ever!! People are entitled to have a bad day, but if your tired of running this business retire!!! Dont try to make others miserable cuz u r!

This local antique / junk shop has been around for 30 plus years. The owner (Anne) is a nice Christian lady, with a deep knowledge of ware she acquired her items. There is tons to look at plus a selection of huge items like signs, shop displays, and vintage vending machines in back. FYI Its mostly a fun hobby business for Anne nowadays, so for a fun frustration free visit dont go in expecting the owner to jump through hoops to get sales or haggle much. Instead go in to have fun looking around and talking to the owner. Have fun :)

Good stuff but a bit high priced

Dropped by for the 3rd time to find this shop closed so I called the phone number listed on the door to see when they are open. The friendly voice said the were closed today (Sunday) and yesterday. They will be open next week., no hours given. Bottom line - call to see if they are open before making a special trip.
