Which Small Town in WA Was Named Best for Main Street Shopping?

Every small town has a Main Street that's usually the hub of activity.

Over the years I've had the pleasure of living in several small towns all over the country and loved every minute of shopping at Main Street boutiques and shops. Some of my most prized possessions were purchased at Main Street businesses.

And with Christmas coming up faster than we care to admit, it's time to start thinking about unique gifts.

The website Cheapism has listed the best Main Street shopping districts in the USA.

As for Washington, I would have thought Walla Walla or Leavenworth would take the top honor. But, no. It's Winthrop! Not only is the town noted for best Main Street shopping in the state, the picturesque views of the Cascade Mountains, there's so much more.

The Main Street shopping experience in Winthrop includes a glass-blowing studio, hat shop, galleries, kitchen store, and candy store!
