Shopping in Centralia, Washington…read more.. We were at the Centralia Outlets when my niece said she wanted to go to the Columbia Clearance Store. I drove the car over and parked easily. I'm not really familiar with the Columbia brand. My niece has a jacket already and wanted a sun shirt. She had tried her friend's shirt and said it works better than sunscreen... because sunscreen doesn't stay on skin that perspires... okay... Maybe I will try one, too... It seemed lightweight, but durable. The long sleeved shirt had a vent in the back. It also had a flap that could hold up the long sleeves when rolled up. So... yes... We both got sun shirts from the Clearance section of the store. It still seemed on the pricey side to me. Service was very helpful and efficient. When I was offered a shopping bag, I asked if it was free. The clerk said she'd make it free for me! Thank you!

Not as good a selection as I would have hoped, almost better at Cabellas. The prices, however, are…read moredefinitely not as good as a place like Cabellas.

I've never felt so uncomfortable. As soon as I hit the tool department I felt like I kicked a hornets nest. Being swarmed by associates, I think I even had a secret shopper surveilling me. Look, I understand shoplifting is A problem. I understand Milwaukee tools are a giant red target for said problem. But if you want to shop in peace you may consider going to Homedepot. Their theft issues are FAR greater I assure you but they will give you a crisp high five out the door paying customers or not. This issue isn't new either it's just became bad enough to drive my complaint. I don't see myself returning

I didn't realize me trying to make a purchase which made her have to get off her phone was such an issue. Even the person I was with as we left was wondering why she seemed so bothered. Hopefully she had a better day. Anyways kudos to the older lady who helped me make my shoe purchase, you're a rockstar.

I recently visited Tonquin Trading while on a vacation to the Oregon coast. My husband had left…read morehis hiking boots at home, and since our trip involved a lot of hiking...we were sort of screwed. To make matters worse? He wears a size 16. Not exactly the easiest size to find in a pinch. Tonquin didn't have size 16 either-- but the super, super helpful guy working there understood our dilemma, and gave us a recommendation of where we COULD find a size 16, in exactly the type/brand of shoe we were looking for. He saved us from driving around all day to every Famous Footwear trying to find something that might work. So. Although I didn't end up buying anything at Tonquin, I was really impressed (and grateful!) by their "can't-get-it-at-Macy's-get-it-at-Gimbels" attitude, which saved our vacation. If I go back (and I loved the area...I'm already planning my next trip), I'd totally patronize Tonquin with my outdoorsy needs!
