I hate sports authority so much! Joe's was actually a pretty good tackle supplier.
Jerry's in Everett was a good store too.

Martha Lake Tavern...now it's a gawd-dam community park.

What a waste...

Exactly.

Acey Greasy for breakfast on football game day in Corvallis, we called it suds at sunrise.

Silver Beach Pub. Its now a retention pond for the road widening project around Silver lake.

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.

I was living on my sailboat when they moved to Ballard, the grocery store shell stole their soul

Doc Freeman's is no more? Say it ain't so!

dont know salmo... the original store that was at the north end of lake union at the bottom of stone way was moved to Ballard years ago, I think it is still there.

Long gone.

Kind of a long read, but yeh,

Yep, the original REI. All that old former warehouse space married together made it one of a kind.
Still have/use that Phoebus 625 and REI Mountaineer down bag I bought there at a Spring Sale a long time ago.

The Fisherman on Northrup Way in Bellevue got a lot of my allowance money. Buffalo Bill's in Issaquah as well.

The Lemolo Meat Market

Sunset drive in theatre in factoria. Everyone should experience drive in movies in their high school years.

Larry's in Beaverton.Good luck,

Fishin Tom's Tackle Renton

There's a Good Time Charlies in Soldotna that's still open.

SKETCHY talent when I was last there....but good chit watching people blow cash!

Those chicks did have the same average number of teeth as the local residents of Bethel........and that's not a good thing.

the duffle bag in south tacoma.

B&I in tacoma, at least in the form it used to be. the last time i went in there(probably 10 years ago) it was like a sketchy flea market.

bargain bob's in downtown seattle, for the $1.99 spools of maxima pearlescent(anybody else remember that weird yellow-green stuff?)

warshall's(i can remember going there as a kid, dad never bought anything, too expensive, but a neat store).

the old outdoor emporium

fishing corner in seatac, that one went out with the plunking shacks along the green river.

gi joes

olympia yard birds(complete with rain drip buckets and pigeons flying around inside)

hell, even the lacey sportsman's warehouse. the few times they had anything useful in stock, the prices were better than cabelas.
