I purchased the wrong kind online and had to return it, and Brandon walked me through everything and since they didn't have what I needed in store, he wrote down all the models and skus needed for me to get the correct parts. It was so nice to get such customized service! Love that there's still employees who know their stuff. There's also nice clearance and last-one deals here. Haven't had a bad experience!

I was perplexed on which item to go with when #SleepingBagSavior, Michael, came over to offer advice and assist with guidance. He was very helpful as were several other associates. I enjoyed our shared discussion over the love of great quality gear and the outdoors. While the bag cost was on the higher end, it's a very high quality bag that will be versatile for many years to come. Thank you sales manager Michael!

Looked at the brand website and every other website that carried the brand . No luck! As a last ditch I called Dick's Sporting Goods in Tacoma. I was lucky enough to reach Brie. She stopped what she was doing and went to search the shelves. After many minutes she returned to tell me that she had found a pair in his size that had slipped down from a shelf. They were probably the only ones in the store. Thanks Brie! You really went the extra mile.

No signage saying no one in the parking lot after a certain time, *nothing.* light comes on and suddenly a man on a speaker says I'm "trespassing and have been recorded." I'm sorry, don't have an outside ATM then - honestly. This has never happened at another ATM in my 30 year life-span. If you can't be bothered to even put a simple sign out, don't have something on your lot that's accessible past business hours. Plain and simple unjustified to accuse people of trespassing when they *haven't been asked to leave* and *again no clear signage saying you cannot access to ATM in this timeframe.* The dude on the speaker was obnoxious about it too. Whoever your security is needs to relax and get some proper signage at *all* entrances. I was just pulling out money for my fucking rent at an outdoor ATM.

The collection is not just limited to high-end gear, but also features limited-edition pieces and retro items that take me back to iconic sports moments. Even though the prices are high, I feel like I'm investing in something timeless--whether it's a beautifully restored vintage basketball or a rare pair of sneakers that I know will last for years. The staff is always knowledgeable and passionate, and their enthusiasm only adds to my love for the place. It's more than just a store; it's a treasure trove that keeps me coming back for more.

The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without being pushy. Once we made our purchase, they assembled ans setup our boards. Being a few moths out of season, we got a GREAT deal. They have boards and skis with all the accessories. They also offer seasonal rental which is awesome when your kid is still growing. The price for seasonal rental is very reasonable, you'll make it back quick, when you consider the price of the seasonal rental is anout the same as a day rate at Crystal or White Pass.

Plan accordingly. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ Outdoor adventures keeps the guided groups small (maximum 12 people). I appreciate the small groups since this was my first time kayaking. Three types of kayaks are available: single, double or triple occupancy. Discover is an accepted form of payment. A Discover Pass is required to park at Spencer Spit. If you do not have a pass, a $10 day pass can be purchased with cash or check. There were several rangers checking passes on our visit so be sure to have a pass visibly displayed to avoid being ticketed. WHAT TO BRING - Signed Release of Liability - Bathing suit or non-cotton under layers preferred - A synthetic shirt (capilene, polypro, Under Armor, etc) - Shorts or pants made of a synthetic material (may get wet/damp) - Lightweight fleece jacket or windbreaker/rain jacket to provide warmth - Water shoes or sandals that strap on (or shoes that can get wet) - Sun hat and/or sunglasses - Sunscreen and chapstick - Water bottle - Optional; Camera, Plastic bag for wet items and change of clothing - If you have a gift certificate or prepaid voucher (such as Groupon) please bring a printed copy with you! Dorito Dan was our guide for the day. Dan was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The first hour is dedicated to introductions, procedures and safety. Be sure to use the restroom before departing. Once on the water, there is no turning back. Kayaking is great for teamwork and communication. Both are required to avoid frustration. I recommend wearing weight-lifting/bicycle gloves in order to prevent blisters. Each person in our group started getting blisters towards the end of the tour. During our 3 mile kayaking trip, we spotted starfish, seals and majestic bald eagles. Thank you Outdoor Adventures for providing a magnificent day of play while surrounded by gorgeous Mother Nature. We all plan to return in the near future for another go-around.

Parents and leaders in the BSA come here to shop to buy uniforms for the boys and themselves and all the other stuff they need for Boy Scouts, including patches, awards, pins, camping equipment, books, all the craft stuff for badges and camps, knives and more. I shopped here a few times as a leader in Boy Scouts and also for my step-son. They have one register and when they would get busy in the little store, the employees would have a ton of patience. You can call the store and place orders over the phone to be mailed to you or you can shop online as well. The building is shared with the offices for the PHC. The parking lot is huge.
