I used to have to go with my mom on Saturdays to downtown to Pike Place market on the bus. I usually got to pick the place for lunch, Ben Paris, he had a 110 lb. salmon mounted somewhere in there, there was a Manning's restaurant and Woolworths. Later on used to go to the REI up on East Pine, awesome place spent lots of money there. Schoffs sporting goods in Kent, Doc Freemans when they were on the north end of lake Union. They had stuff hidden all over the place. You could find almost any marine part old or current and someone could always find it for you. Warshells Sporting Good on 1st Ave. Fisheries Supply when they were on the waterfront.
