Auburn, Washington’s Antique Marketplace measures its inventory less by item count than by real estate: the shop occupies 13,000 square feet at 1809 Howard Road, Suite B, right next to Frugal’s at the base of Muckleshoot Hill, and rents that space out to more than 100 individual dealers. Each dealer stocks and prices their own stall, so the mix on any given day ranges across antique toys, sports memorabilia, jewelry, dolls, militaria, and retro gifts, plus rotating finds like vintage cards and coins, lighting fixtures, toy trucks, minerals, Steiff collectibles, bakelite bracelets, glassware, and Asian antiques. That dealer-mall structure, common among the larger antique operations in the Pacific Northwest, means a single visit can turn up entirely different merchandise from one month to the next, since inventory turns over as fast as individual dealers restock their own booths.
The marketplace is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., a schedule built for browsers rather than appointment shoppers, and it sits in a retail pocket of Auburn easily reached off the routes leading toward the Muckleshoot area. For collectors who prefer digging through a large single-building venue over driving between several small shops, a 13,000-square-foot, 100-plus-dealer mall condenses that hunt into one stop, with categories spanning military history, sports collecting, doll and toy collecting, and costume and fine jewelry all under one roof.
Beyond retail floor space, the business also runs an estate consulting and purchasing arm, working with people who are settling an estate, downsizing, or otherwise looking to sell a collection rather than shop for one. That side of the operation, paired with an online portal for its own dealer community, points to a business that positions itself as a full-service player in the regional antiques trade rather than strictly a rental-booth landlord. Reach the shop by phone at 253-397-4160 or by email at info@PNWAntiques.com to ask about current dealer availability or to start a conversation about an estate purchase.
The marketplace has also picked up regional recognition, winning Best of Pierce and Northwest Gold awards in both 2024 and 2025, a sign that local voters, not just occasional visitors, keep the shop on their list of go-to antique destinations year over year. For a South King County antiques market competing against similarly sized malls elsewhere in the Puget Sound region, back-to-back annual wins suggest a dealer base and inventory turnover that keeps regular shoppers coming back rather than a one-time novelty stop.
In short, Antique Marketplace in Auburn, Washington, is a 13,000-square-foot, multi-dealer antique mall housing more than 100 individual dealers across categories from militaria to Asian antiques, open daily and backed by an estate consulting and purchasing service, that has earned back-to-back Best of Pierce and Northwest Gold awards in 2024 and 2025.
