Thirty some miles east of Interstate 5 along State Route 20, the highway that carries traffic from the Skagit Valley toward the North Cascades, sits Our Wickiup, an antiques and collectibles shop at 30732 SR 20 in Sedro Woolley. The name itself borrows from a wickiup, the traditional domed brush and mat shelter historically used by several Indigenous peoples of the western United States, a fitting nod for a shop built around gathering old and collectible things under one roof along a highway route that has long served as a corridor for travelers moving between the lowlands and the mountains.
Inside, the shop carries a general mix of antiques, collectibles, and home decor items, the kind of inventory that rewards an unhurried walk through the aisles rather than a quick in and out errand. Because SR 20 functions as the main route toward North Cascades National Park and the mountain towns beyond Sedro Woolley, the shop sits along a stretch of road well used by weekend travelers, making it a natural stop for road trippers heading toward the mountains or back toward the interstate who want to break up the drive with some antiquing. Sedro Woolley itself, a former timber and mill town at the edge of the Skagit Valley, has built a modest reputation among Skagit County antique shoppers for exactly this kind of roadside browsing, and Our Wickiup fits into that local pattern.
The shop is family friendly, with on site parking, details that matter on a highway adjacent stretch of SR 20 where pulling off safely and having enough room to bring kids inside without worrying about tight aisles or a cramped lot can be the deciding factor in whether a passing family stops at all. A family friendly antiques shop also tends to keep a wider range of lower priced collectibles and home decor items alongside pricier antique furniture, since it needs something for browsers of every age and budget rather than serious collectors alone.
For home decor specifically, a general antiques and collectibles store like this one tends to carry the kind of decorative small goods that fill out a room without requiring a big furniture purchase: framed art, glassware, lamps, and similar accent pieces sit alongside larger antique furniture finds, giving shoppers flexibility whether they are furnishing a whole room or looking for a single accent piece to bring home. That range, combined with easy highway access and parking, makes Our Wickiup a practical stop for both serious pickers working the Skagit Valley antique circuit and casual travelers passing through Sedro Woolley on SR 20.
Sedro Woolley sees a steady flow of seasonal traffic tied to the North Cascades Highway, which typically closes for winter snow and reopens in spring, and shops along SR 20 like this one tend to see their busiest browsing months line up with that travel season, when out of town visitors are most likely to be driving the corridor in the first place. Locals, meanwhile, treat the shop as part of a regular rotation of nearby antique stops rather than a once a year destination. In short, Our Wickiup is a family friendly antiques, collectibles, and home decor shop conveniently positioned on State Route 20 in Sedro Woolley for both local shoppers and travelers headed toward the North Cascades.
