ShopSmall

The Historic Gilbert District will participate in Shop Small Saturday.

Locally owned businesses in the historic Gilbert District make it worthwhile to shop small during the traditional post-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy.

Shoppers will be encouraged to patronize small and local businesses.

“The shops here are unique and have things you can’t get anywhere else,” said Denise Fairweahter, the neighborhood champion. “There is a place for Internet shopping, but nothing can replace going into a store and looking, and feeling, and touching and seeing the item you want to purchase.”

Shop Small Saturday was created in 2010 by American Express, but businesses do not have to accept American Express to participate in a neighborhood event. Since 2012, neighborhoods nationwide have been encouraged to host events to unite their communities and encourage local shopping.

The bustling Historic Gilbert District businesses at the vibrant intersection of Broadway and Holladay Drive will joyfully showcase the event with enchanting window posters and window displays.

A historic district is preserved due to its historical, architectural, or cultural significance. They play a crucial role in maintaining the heritage and character of a town.

The district features a unique collection of historic buildings, structures, and landmarks, providing a glimpse into the past and allowing visitors and residents to appreciate a place’s rich history and cultural heritage.

Let’s go ShopSmall in the Historic Gilbert District in 2022.

MAKE AN IMPACT IN YOUR COMMUNITY

You might not realize it, but every time
you pick up a cup of coffee from your
favorite neighborhood cafe or buy a gift
from a local neighborhood store, you’re
shopping small and making a difference.

THE MOVEMENT

Small Business Saturday continues to be an annual holiday shopping tradition — just one part of the larger
Shop Small Movement supports small businesses every day and everywhere.

Because shopping at a family-owned spot or buying handmade
products from your favorite small business help to promote more
vibrant hometown communities.

American Express proudly backs Small Business Saturday and the Shop Small Movement.

THE BEGINNING

That’s why — in
2010 — we
created Small Business Saturday^® on the
Saturday after Thanksgiving to encourage
people to Shop Small and bring more
holiday shopping to small businesses.

Seaside Stories
How to Explore the Historic Gilbert District

by Seaside Visitor’s Bureau

While many visit Seaside to stroll the Prom, ride the carousel and load up on saltwater taffy, walk east on Broadway over the Necanicum River and you’re in a very different world — the oldest part of Seaside, to be exact.

Seaside’s mayor from 1912 to 1916, Alexandre Gilbert, rebuilt the four-block Gilbert District at the intersection of Broadway and Holladay Drive after the city’s big fire of 1912. Today the Gilbert District is thriving with vibrant restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and antique stores. More than 30 local businesses call this historic district home. Here’s how to spend a few hours poking around.

Stroll across the arched Broadway Bridge and you’ll see the Gilbert Block Building, est. 1914, and Kirwen Building, est. 1913. SunRose Gallery is full of colorful mosaic tables and whimsical local art. Next door, Pacific Heirloom and Collectables is the place to pick up vintage glass floats, and the upscale Fairweather House & Gallery is a must-visit for anyone who’s serious about Northwest artists.

Continue toward Holladay and you’ll see Beach Books on the corner. Pick up that book you’ve been dying to read. Then walk straight into Dough Dough Bakery for a chocolate tahini roll and a warm mug of Sleepy Monk Coffee Roasters drip.

Still thirsty? Walk north on Holladay and pick up a gorgeous cowl-neck scarf or other beautiful handmade gifts at Seaside Yarn and Fiber, before making another stop at The Whet Spot, which offers a rotating selection of local brews and ciders on tap. Warm-up with a standout bowl of tom kha at YellowCurry Cozy Thai, a locals’ favorite, with traditional and regional dishes from all over Thailand.

Next, cross Holladay and grab a stiff espresso at Seaside Coffee House in the Wheatley-Desler Building, est. 1914. You’ll need the boost, because right around the corner on Broadway is the Seaside Antique Mall, where you can spend hours perusing everything from vintage birdcages to old postcards. Nearby Rust and Dust offers even more repurposed and antique collectibles. And the End of the Trail Public House is a fun newish sports bar in town with darts, pool, shuffleboard, and a patio — not to mention a cozy space to watch the game.

All this exploring calls for immediate sustenance, and the family-friendly Seaside Brewing Company, housed in the old Seaside city jail, est. 1914, is the perfect place to end your Gilbert District tour. Sit down to a plate of fresh fish tacos and a pint of craft brew poured steps from where the “drunk tank” was once located. Come back for breakfast or lunch at Firehouse Grill.

Shop Local. Shop Small. Historic Gilbert District.
