Patrix Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Are there any gear shops around Seatac? For an upcoming trip I'll be flying in a few hours before my partner and will have some last minute items to pick up. I see there's an REI nearby but a climbing specific store would be great. Steve Quote
DPS Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Probably the closest shop would be the REI in Tukwila which is at the intersection of 509/I-5/I-405, I'm guessing that is the one you are looking at. For a climbing shop you'll need to drive to Bellevue (Marmot Mtn Works) or Seattle (Pro Mountain Sports or Feathered Friends). Quote
Patrix Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah that's the REI I was looking at. Marmot Mountain Works seems to be pretty accessible to the highway while we travel north. I like FF and 2nd Ascent but trying to avoid the city. Quote
genepires Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 what do you need? if it is just things like fuel canisters, you may be able to find that in a non climbing store. FF is closer to the hwy than marmot. choose FF and marmot over rei anytime, if possible. Quote
Patrix Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 What I'll be buying depends on the routes, which won't be decided till a couple days out. I'll likely just need a 24" picket. Plus, it'll just be good to know where a shop is in case something gets left at home by accident. Quote
