Pacific Stone Company has been a fixture on Rucker Avenue since 1999.
But only a fraction of the people who drive by actually stop by to see the shop’s 3,000 square-foot showroom.
While there are plenty of flagstone, pavers, tile and water feature supplies, you could spend more than an hour admiring all the statuary, figurines and steppingstones, which take up most of the showroom.
Tiki gods, frogs, dragons, gargoyles, birds, Buddhas, angels, birds and more are on hand here, including many plantable figurines in odd shapes, such as classic cars and cowboy boots.
It’s hard to believe that nearly everything is made of concrete.
If you know a gardener that could use some “structure” in his or her garden, this is your place.
Pacific Stone Company is at 3826 Rucker Ave., Everett. Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. See www.pacificstoneco.com or call 425-258-1911 for more details.
