Start at Dick and Jane’s Spot at 101 N Pearl Street in Ellensburg.
Dick And Jane’s Spot Facebook This is a private home, but it’s also meant to be an art spot that you can view any time of day. Most of the art was created by Dick and Jane themselves, but they also have collected the work of over 40 local artists.
Next, take I-90 all the way to Seattle and check out the metaphysical library in Ballard.
Seattle Metaphysical Library Facebook Located at 2220 NW Market Street, this volunteer-run library has all kinds of metaphysical material. Their hours are somewhat limited, but if you call, they’ll usually make arrangements for you.
While you’re in Seattle, you may as well stop by the infamous Gum Wall at Pike Place Market and take some selfies.

This road trip will showcase a few of Washington’s oddities, but you’ll find may more scattered across the state. Perhaps that’s why we’re America’s black sheep.
