Snohomish is probably your very best bet if you want to spend a full day looking around. It's a lot of good shops in a small area.

They have a lot of good food options too. We normally go to Christie's Sandwich board, but I've heard the Repp is the best there is.

The Thai place is also really good.

Monroe has a couple good stores

Leavenworth in my opinion is just a tourist trap. It's fun to walk around during the day.

Winthrop is another fun trip, it's got more stores than Leavenworth, and better food

La Conner doesn't have a ton of "antique shops" really anymore. It's fun to walk and get the best fish and chips at La Conner Tavern

Port Townsend is a good option too. They don't have as many as they used to. We just park in Coupeville and do the walk on ferry.

Estate sales might be good option too. You might find antiques and vintage a bit cheaper

OP said he's been to Snohomish already, but that definitely would be my first suggestion as well. I grew up there and now have returned 17 years later and while it's definitely become more upscale there are tons of great shops and good restaurants (you're definitely right about the The Rep being the best!).

Port Townsend is also a great suggestion. I'll throw in Anacortes too, they have a little shopping district close to the water that has some antique shops.

Ohhhh yeah. I read it wrong. Yeah Anacortes is fun. They've good food out there too. I love that old sandwich place Gere-deli.

Port Townsend we ate at a marina place and the salmon BLT was really good. There's a huge antique mall

I know food wasn't requested, but I normally go with my husband so I can get something to eat lol, so that's that I remember most

Great Junk Hunt will be at the Monroe fair grounds in a couple weeks. I think February 2nd. There's a lot of fun stuff there.

I second Leavenworth and Port Townsend, Port Angeles has some good ones down town by the ferry.
