“The Merc” in Quinault
The Quinault Mercantile was built in 1918 and has been in continuous operation as a general store for 87 years.
“The Merc” is located in the middle of the town of Quinault, which is in the middle of the Olympic National Park and within easy walking distance of the Quinault Lodge, Quinault Lake and the Quinault Rain Forest Loop.
“The Merc” has expanded numerous times over the years, but has not abandoned old-time features like wood floors, custom walking sticks, & oak showcases. The store also has a beautiful view overlooking the park and is quaintly tucked away within the mountainside. The Merchandise array is impressive by any standard, from a "necessaries" grocery department, to kitchen tools, camping equipment, sporting goods, and Rain Forest worthy clothes, along with everything in between.
