Wind & Tide Bookshop — Local services in Oak Harbor

Wind & Tide Bookshop is an amazing eclectic little bookstore with such a great variety of titles. They are so helpful when I can't locate the titles I am looking for and are alway eager to help me find or order them. The kid selection is fantastic, with many children's books for only $1! How can you beat that these days?! They even do kids activities and provide free meeting spaces. Great for military wives that want to get together. This place is perfect for everyone and for every age.

Even if you live here, it's worth it to check that book out! I also have a few art pieces up in the shop available to be made custom with your favorite books. Go ahead, it's a beautiful day to take a stroll down historical Pioneer Way and check them out!

P.S. They even have yummy chocolate bars at the front...
