Walking Mod 707 1st Street, La Conner, WA 98257

"The owner of this store knows her product and how it will fit you. I appreciated knowing if a style ran large or not. The inventory includes the top of the line shoes from Jambu and Merrell and clothes from manufacturers such as Kuhl and Killtec. This will be an annual shopping place for often as I can get here."

"I have been to this shop 3 times and I love the product, but the customer service is awful. The first time my daughter went in, I purchased a light jacket for my daughter and a raincoat for my granddaughter. Less than a week later, my daughter and I return to exchange her jacket. We did get store credit. Now my daughter did find a beautiful white polka dot and gray jacket. The owner had the audacity to say to my daughter, "Are you sure this is what you want, it does cost more?" The owner really didn't think my daughter and I could afford it. It just shows that you should never judge a book by the cover. I will shop at this store again!"

"Not a kid friendly store! Stopped in very briefly to look at the Patagonia jackets for my 3 year old since it was a cold, rainy day. My friend and I had both of our 3 year olds in the store and they began running away from us. We were the only patrons in the store at this time. Before we even had the opportunity to get the girls under control, the shop keeper scolded them very abruptly saying, “No, this is not a playground! Stay with your mom!” I understand keeping kids in line at the store, but I felt it was a bit premature since we had just walked in and began browsing. Wouldn’t even attempt to shop here again. There are other shops in town that are much more kid friendly."

"This is a hidden gem. The owner is a great buyer and has curated a very nice selection of outerwear and outdoorsy brands (think Patagonia, Löle, Kuhl) that can be hard to find north of Seattle. She has a line of European raincoats, Ilse Jacobsen, that are fantastic and come in really juicy colors. I love the one I got, and the lightweight Kuhl jacket I bought gets compliments! If you stop by, you might run into the owner’s adorable little rescue dog, Twiggy, if she happens to be there"

"Lovely store with great brands. It was cooler than expected in June and I purchased an amazing Lole jacket that is so tiny when packed. They also have great all weather gear that is very nice looking. I bought a Killtec raincoat that I wore for the rest of my month in Washington. I don't usually splurge but no regrets. Highly recommend."
