Petried Fred Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Right now there are three large scale climbing gyms either under active construction or very near to construction in the Seattle area. SBP is going full throttle, StoneGardens is going to occupy a former Circuit City in Bellevue and VW has bought the building at 2300 W Commodore. With this and other recent activities, probably in excess of $3.2 million will be spent in the last couple of years. Who will be standing when the smoke clears?

nkane Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Stone Gardens and VW are always super busy on weekend nights, so I think that it's possible the market is not yet saturated. I hope there's room for all the new arrivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicMtnBoy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 2300 Commodore, isn't that right next to the current VW Seattle? They planning to move a door or two down the street? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
112 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 My guess is all of them remain standing. What is the history of dedicated climbing gyms going out of business? Just curious. I think the viaduct-tunnel project is going to help SBP. At least I don't plan on driving to VW or StoneGardens from West Seattle once the viaduct is shut down.

Whatcomboy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Bellingham is getting a new climbing gym sometime this spring according to a newspaper story. Somewhere by B-ham high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
num1mc Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Bellingham is getting a new climbing gym sometime this spring according to a newspaper story. Somewhere by B-ham high school. Seems likely that financing is a problem He's looking for friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
