From collectors

In 2013 Seattle Shirt Company expanded and opened, after an extensive renovation, a 3,500 square foot store on Seattle’s Waterfront at Pier 55. After 34 years of operating the business with mainly heat transfers, the owner decided to change the business model and reinvent and reinvigorate the store. The owner decided to upgrade the store and change it to a store where shirts are already pre-printed and ready for purchase, abandoning printing transfers onto T-Shirts in the store that had become the trademark of the business. The store has an excellent selection of high quality Seahawks (Go Hawks!) t-shirts, hats, socks, pants and sweatshirts. A vast amount of Seattle souvenirs are also available.

Hours of operation: Fall, Winter and Spring: Monday through Thursday 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, Friday 9:30 am to 8:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. Summer (June 15th to August 25th): daily 9:00 am to 10:00 pm.
The Washington State PennyCollector book is for sale here for $4.99 plus tax.

No on-site parking. The best parking ($3.00 per hour) is the Hillclimb Parking Garage, 1422 Alaskan Way, across the street from the Seattle Aquarium. If you park here you can easily walk to all Pier 54 through Pier 59 penny machines.

The penny machine is outside the front door and inside in the middle of the store on bad weather days. Cost to press: 51¢ each design. Designs:
1. (V) Steaming cup of coffee with 'Top Of The Morning To You Seattle'.
2. (H) Skyline of Seattle with 'Seattle The emerald City'.
3. (H) A water dripping whale tail preparing to submerge into the ocean with 'Seattle Waterfront'.
4. (H) Goldfinch with 'American Goldfinch Washington State Bird'.

The designs within this machine were formally located at the Seattle Center Monorail platform then moved to the Seattle Center Center House. The penny machine exterior cabinet was remodeled and moved here.
