Honestly I dont know if u would get that many people south of Seattle into a climbing gym. I think the population is differnt then that of Seattle. This has nothing to do with climbing, but look at greenlake, lots of fit young people who like to be outdoors. now put a place like that in Auburn or Kent and you would not have nearly as many people. The demographics are not the same as Seattle. Even at the UPS climbing wall, U dont see half as many people as the UW rock. that is just my two cents. Maybe it could work, and if It did why would u tell everyone else =)
