Our Mission

Successfully foster a lasting community store which welcomes all and connects everyone. The Nordland General Store is the heart and soul of our island community!


Our Vision

Our store is a warm and welcoming place, with an emphasis on community. We showcase local farmers, producers and makers in a well-organized and easy to navigate store that reflects the personality of our beautiful island. We carry a range of convenience and specialty food products, sundries, store merchandise and crafts.

We appeal to a wide range of shoppers — from those planning to enjoy Mystery Bay goat cheese and Marrowstone Vineyards wine to those buying marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate for fireside s’mores, to those who just need a jar of pickles and a ripe tomato to finishing prepping dinner!

Our Values

Our Natural Environment

We value our beautiful island and all of the natural habitats we are so lucky to enjoy – from Mystery Bay to East Beach, from Kinney Point State Park to Fort Flagler State Park, from Kilisut Harbor to the Admiralty Inlet.

Our Ancestors of the Land

We value and honor the S’Klallam and Chemakum people and their continuing stewardship of the lands and waters of our small, lovely piece of the Salish Sea.

Our Community

We value our community and all of the amazing people who call Marrowstone Island home, for a day, or for many generations. The rewards of community service and community connection are what drive us.

Our Approach

We value fair, ethical and sustainable business practices.

Our Heart

We value kindness.

Our Store is built by our community for the community.
