A shopping area located across the street from the Washington Street Mall’s 500 block, at the intersection of Washington and Ocean. Washington Commons is adjacent to Acme grocery store and has paid on-site parking in season. It’s home to shops and restaurants.

There’s ample seating and space to meander. In the evenings, white string lights illuminate the Commons, making it a charming photo spot!
