I'll give a split vote for Ted's & Three Rivers New shop.

Although some of the key anchors in the staff at Ted's have moved on, Mike and Joe will take good care of you, and I'm sure the new fellas should be doing fine. Excellent selection of conventional tackle as well as plenty of stuff for the feather flingers as well.

One of those key anchors I mentioned was Kent, he now runs the new tackle shop at Three Rivers Marine in Woodinville. While the inventory isn't as varied as Ted's, the core selction of tackle is very good and geared towards the needs of river & salt salmon and steelhead fishermen. Lots of bulk stuff, and perhaps the best Loomis display in the country!

I can't say enough about going to shops that have guys helping you that really know their stuff ... both are excellent in that respect!
