I really miss Fredrick & Nelsons in DT Seattle. I remember my Dad taking me there when I was a young Kid. They use to have a Gunsmith and a high end Fishing/Hunting section. My Dad bought a state of the art Orvis spinning reel along with a light weight Fenwick rod. I ended up losing that combo near Tacoma head works (set it next to a tree and took off) came back about an hour later and it was gone.  Anyone remember Ben Paris? Me and my buddies would take a bus down there to play pinball...  What stores do you miss?....doesn't have to be an outdoor store.

Chubby & Tubby
I just liked how cluttered it was and how much stuff they had packed in their store.
$5.00 Christmas trees were a great deal.

GI Joe's...a Portland area sporting goods store that started as a military surplus store. Larry's...Oregon City based outdoor store Used to hang out at the Goose Pub when we were doing the Coca-Cola plant addition in about 2005. About the only non-stuffy place that we could find in Bellevue.
