Really cool shop lots of old tools ready to be used again
Thanks for stopping at the Tin Can Alley! The Tools are some of my most popular items. I often get tool buyers from hundreds of miles away! Most say the same thing "You can't find this many quality hand tools in one spot anywhere else in the Northwest." And THANKS for taking the time to tell others about my shop!!

This place is truly a hidden gem! The owner is friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed chatting with him while we checked out his collection of vinyls, cameras, and more. Everything in the place was well organized and everything had a tag with a fair price, which we appreciated. If you find yourself driving through Longview, this place is a must stop.
I'm so glad you discovered the Tin Can Alley! I enjoy when my customers are finding cool stuff they have been searching for! Enjoy all for your goodies! And thanks for taking the time to share your experience!

This is legitimately one of the best thrift shops I've been to. It's stuffed to the brim with treasures, but not in an overwhelming way. Everything is organized and labeled and taken care of. You can happily spend a lot of time browsing here. The owner is chill and knowledgeable and has lots more stuff that's not on display, so if you're on the hunt for anything specific, let him know!
Thanks Rose! It's customers like you that make my "job" fun:)
