Historic Shell Shops

Popping up every year in Downtown Issaquah!

Since 2015, Alison Lang (So, There.) has turned her retail experience and passion into seasonal pop-ups at the Historic Hailstone Feed Store in Issaquah’s Old Town. The Historic Shell Holiday Shop has grown into an annual winter event, featuring the work of more than 40 local artists, makers, and designers each year.

In 2026 we are proud to announce the addition of a second seasonal shop– the October Spooky Shop! We will still feature a range of local artists and makers, with a focus on fun fall pieces and ghoulish gifts for those of you who like your life with a touch of dark art and fall colors.

Wanna apply? For any of our pop-ups, look for a call for artists the month before the event begins. We typically announce our calls here on our site, on instagram, facebook, and through our mailing list.

Wanna shop? Please join us at the Historic Shell Station, 232 Front Street North and/or check out a selection of pieces when our online shop is open.

Shop small! Shop Local! Support Artists and Makers!

*Online shopping only available for some pop-ups, and only during the run of the shop. Contact Alison if you have any questions or issues.
