There are many reasons to visit Centralia Outlets. Located halfway between Portland and Seattle, and less than half an hour from Olympia, it’s geographically situated at a natural stopping point.
But the uniqueness of the stores, and of the area, is more of a draw than it’s easy on and off ramps to I-5.
Specialty stores are a huge part of what makes Centralia Outlets a destination. Stores like Bath & Body Works and Gold Toe are the only outlet retailers in the northwest. And the new DXL Men’s Outlet has the largest selection of products compared to all Lewis County stores combined. Centralia Outlet’s ease of one-stop brand-name shopping includes kitchenware, outdoors, women’s clothing and accessories, children’s, jewelers, boutiques, underwear, shoes, sports, men’s, and more.
People often visit from surrounding areas to find the brands that fit their families. Hitting Gymboree, VF (with sizes from petite to plus), and DXL Men’s outlets is an appeal to growing families that need a large selection in one place. Many families like to pack snacks or grab a sandwich from the on-site Quizno’s and enjoy a picnic after a shopping excursion. The tall trees, fishing lake, and trails of Fort Borst Park, located across the street from the outlet center, are the perfect way to unwind and let the kids burn off some energy.
It’s always fun to go shopping with someone else. Equally fun is making a day of it. Couples, friends, and community groups tend to make the trip, and after shopping at Centralia Outlets, will map out the antique row the area is known for. There are nearby dining options, a historic theaters and museums, and many more reasons to make it a day, or stay the night, in Lewis County. Centralia Outlets even has special arrangements and incentives for motor coaches.
Events are another draw. From Moonlight Madness to Trick-or-Treating, Centralia Outlets strive to make shopping even more fun. Stacked coupons, and fun promotions like free shopping bags and coupon books add to the experience. In addition, savings abound at Centralia Outlets with three stores that are Outlet Clearance Stores – Nike Clearance Store, Under Armour Clearance House and Polo Ralph Lauren with exceptional prices.
With more than 30 stores offering factory-direct pricing on name brands, it’s no wonder people travel from all around the world to explore Centralia Outlets. In 2015, visitors from 136 cities in Washington State, 41 different states, and 28 countries—including Thailand, Israel, and New Zealand—made a point to explore Centralia Outlets.
An on-site Information Center offers maps, AAA discounts, coupon books, lost and found, and attraction and travel brochures. Centralia Outlets, the Northwest’s original outlet shopping destination, has been serving locals and travelers since 1988.
