Risan Athletics - Sporting Goods Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Ive been to Risan several times over the past couple months for our select baseball team to pick up gear and uniforms. Our go to person we've been ordering from is Kristin, but I've been in and received help from Ryan and multiple different folks. All are welcoming and helpful. I wish I would have known about Risan a couple seasons back when we were having trouble finding cleats. They had a TON of options, same goes for bats ( they even had the Fire bat which was one of my son's top asked for bday items). There was a day recently where Kristin was not in, and I was able to still get a response from her via email and her coworker even text her to get a response. The team at Risan cares about their customers and that's rare to find nowadays. Every time I've been in I see someone else there getting great service, and you can tell they've had some relationships with local schools and teams for years and years. I also like that they're able to do small batch orders. We were considering doing a dozen hats for parents and Kristin was more than happy to get quotes for me. Next time we need any baseball gear for the team or just my son, we'll be hitting up Risan. Highly recommend for baseball gear in Kirkland/Redmond/Sammamish. read more

Everyone was helpful and attentive! Great people to talk to about softball needs. Though they didn't have exactly what I went in looking for, I ended up purchasing other items at really good prices. read more

Jeff, Kristie, Ryan and the entire team at Risan have always been AWESOME!!!! Every member of the Risan team is knowledgeable and willing to help recommend the best gear for your player.

Kristie and Ryan have always remembered our names and always are so helpful. The Risan Team makes each trip personable, fun and pressure free. read more

Amazing service. Very friendly. Great selection. Happiest I've been spending $200 recently. :) Seek these guys out. They know their stuff!! read more

Played 20+ years of baseball in the Seattle area and can confidently say that Risan was my go to store for pro-style equipment. I have bought a few pairs of pants at Risan and I still have never found a more comfortable pair in the 25 years I played. I would recommend this place for top quality baseball and sports equipment. read more

This place is pathetic. They get our order wrong and spell my sons name wrong on his shirt, we take it back for them to correct and they want to charge us for the correction. read more

Found this baseball, and other sports store after all the others closed down, pretty descent service and guys worked really well with our coaches to get us equipped... knowledge is not too bad either! read more

The ONLY shop for all of your sporting needs. Forget Kimmel. Forget anywhere else (is there anywhere else?) Youll be treated right by a helpful and knowledgeable staff. read more

This place has reasonable prices for quality gear and the have a very knowledgeable staff. We drive all the way from Sammamish just to shop here for baseball and soccer gear. read more

Nice range of gear, from a more conservative price to high end gloves and bats. Much more competitive pricing that big box sports stores. Just like ordering high end stuff from a catalog but save the shipping and be able to physically try it out. Staff is always friendly and informative and not pushy sales guys. Best baseball gear around! read more

Friendly, knowledgable staff. Great selection. This is definitely a go-to place for our baseball gear.

As a parent of an athlete, you need more options for sporting accessories, apparel and gear than the usual chain stores. Risan is your place. All of the friendly people will do their best to make sure you find what you need. No, it is not the least expensive store out there, but it is comparable and the wide variety of choices makes it all work!! read more

Fantastic service, advocates for all the local little league and select teams and always happy to help with questions. Love this place.

I've been going to Athletic Supply in Redmond to buy baseball, soccer, softball, etc. stuff for a while. One of the other Little League parents turned me onto Risan Athletics (http://www.risan.com) when we ordered custom hoodies for the boys to match their uniforms. Since then, it's been my preferred place to buy baseball, softball, and soccer stuff. Unlike Athletic Supply, these sports seem to be pretty much their specialty and they do it very well. The staff is very knowledgeable such as the pros and cons of bat lengths, weights, useful lifetime, etc. They were really great with my kids who enjoyed shopping there. Their selection is just right. You worry at first that they won't have the right size and color but they have one or two of each size and color. They must manage their suppliers well because things seem to come back quickly. The quality of their brands is great too. They have bats from $29 to $299 from what I saw - again everything you'd need but not racks of duplicates. They have great cleats, shorts, jerseys, sweatshirts, bats, balls, gloves, mitts, etc. We browsed the soccer stuff and they have a great selection. I'm sure we'll return this fall for soccer stuff. You can walk in the small store with nothing and walk out fully outfitted with all the great equipment you'll need on the field. Their pricing was competitive. It might be $5 more there than another store for a pair of pants but they're nice Wilson baseball pants. On most things they're price competitive with any specialty sports place. Sure it's more expensive than the crap you buy at Target or Fred Meyer but they have tried-and-true brands that have all the design tweaks learned over years of real use by real athletes. The store is a little hard to find. The first time you go there, you'll probably drive past the driveway and need to turn around. The driveway is literally right at the v-intersection. The store is tucked into the back of an unassuming industrial-looking building but it's worth the short drive. read more

Stop going anywhere else - this is the only sports store you'll ever need. Can't believe it took us this long to find it. I live in Kirkland, and I admit that I have been using Big 5 Sports for all of my son's football gear because it was fairly close to home. However, when Big 5 and Sports Authority recently closed down, I found Risan by chance in a Google search, and we are so glad we did! It's a bit hard to find - back in an industrial area near Totem Lake - but totally worth it. They not only had all of the (name-brand) gear he wanted and needed for football this year, but Risan's prices were beyond reasonable and I spent below my budget! Plus, they were super helpful. My most recent experience there seals it: yesterday I was in Redmond on an errand and went into "another sports store" nearby, looking for Lake Washington spirit gear. Not only were they rude at this other store, but they didn't have what I wanted so I stopped by Risan on the way home. Now, to be honest Risan doesn't carry a ton of high-school-specific spirit gear - although I did buy my son a great LW bag there, which they put his name on, and he loves - but I found a purple kids' jersey that fit me and the owner quickly rushed to add my son's name and number on the back, as well as "LW" on the front, and was done within minutes. Boom - I have something to wear to all the games! They also had some LW arm sleeves, which I picked up. Thanks to everyone at this store for being so helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. You've gained a customer for life! read more

I've used Risan since I was in little league, through high school, as a business owner and recently for a fire recruit academy. Over those about 20 years they have always provided excellent, quick service with many options for any need. My go to local shop able to handle big needs. read more
