“Extremely helpful staff, friendly and accommodating, no shame for being a mainlander lost in their store for the first time, excellent customer service and yard attendants.”

2743 California Ave SW # 101, Seattle“I had an incredible experience here today. I came in to purchase several new pairs of shoes for different purposes (daily, running, and CrossFit). Ferguson, the Master, knew exactly how to achieve the goals I was after and, using the white magic sci-fi pad, mapped my feet in impressive detail then proceeded to guide me through the selection process with very obvious expertise in the matter. The shoes I walked away with are already changing the game for me, but the best part by far was the incredible service. I’ve found my new place.”
“Emerald City Discs has so many things going for it as a shop. Fantastic location, nearby Lakewood Disc Golf course and next door to Bok A Bok Fried Chicken. Solid variety of plastic manufacturers/equipment. Both of the owners are good dudes and passionate about this sport and its community.They also host different disc golf tournaments throughout the year!”
“Eight Diving is an incredibly well-dressed dive shop; Melissa and the rest of the staff are fantastic, and the customer service is top-notch.I purchased a lot of new gear to prepare for my GUE Fundamentals class, and they were so supportive and helpful. I cannot thank Eight Diving enough for their encouragement throughout the process.”
“Best shop in town. You know they're the real deal since they do the actual major sports team jerseys in the northwest. They helped expedite our order for the Seafair, thanks again guys!”
“The crew at Route 16 Running are amazing. I was having achilles tendon issues when I was running and I went into the store and told them what was going on. They took one look at my shoes and the way I stand in them and they knew right away what was going on. They gave me several suggestions and I tried several pairs of shoes on that immediately relieved much of my discomfort. I appreciate the experience and knowledge that Miguel and his crew have. Thank you!”
“Great local shop. Good deals to be had. This type of story is exactly the kind of establishment that builds the community. Will return for future sporting good needs. Lots of golf clubs.”
“You MUST visit this store! The amount of WSU merch is mind boggling. All designs, styles, sizes, mens, womens, babies, decor, lanyards, gloves, mugs, magnets, CHEESE!! Yes, they do have some stuff from other schools, but it made me gag just a bit. Tracy, the owner, is super friendly and helpful as well as her employees! Go Cougs!!”
“The owner was very professional and personable. And he has a good inventory. I was able to walk in and get exactly what I needed despite all of the transportation issues going on at this time.”
“I like that this business has a family owned vibe to it. It is alwsys immaculately kept and you can tell they keep their work organized. I implicitly trust my life saving equipment to be serviced here. They are responsive to phone call (answered by a sweet human!) and email as well.”
“I have ordered from Kyle twice now and both experiences have been excellent. First I did t-shirts for an office event and Kyle was able to provide design services in addition to the screen printing. He was highly knowledgeable about the various shirt weights/fabric blends and had samples to help me decide. The shirts came out perfect and my team loved the design. Then we wanted to do jackets and the initial style we'd chose had some issues. Kyle was quick to order replacement jackets (we chose the one he recommended this time around) and got the embroidery done by the original delivery date planned.”
“Very fast customer service. Quality Perfetta bocce balls. Product shipped very fast to my house. Highly recommend. ( I took the balls out of the shipping package before taking the photo.)”
“SODO Apparel is hands down one of the best active clothes on the market. I bought this for my boyfriend a couple weeks ago and he wears them almost everyday of all types of occasions. The K-17 Shorts are the best.”

1701 4th Ave S, Seattle“I'm not a huge outdoorsperson, but stopped in here looking for some archery gear for my son. There is ample parking, which is nice considering the area, the staff was helpful and knowledgeable about their offerings, and they had a decent selection to choose from. The first time I went in there was a bit of a wait as the person behind the counter was chit-chatting with a customer, but I was in no hurry. I didn't end up purchasing anything since it was a bit more money than I wanted to spend, but they did offer a sale on a few items which was nice. I'll definitely return if I need any outdoor or camping gear since I like the idea of supporting a locally owned business.”
“First, I have to say after reading all of the negative reviews, I went in reluctantly but, it appeared this was the only store locally (200 miles) that I could actually look at the kayak I was interested in. I had been to every dealer and REI in Western Washington looking for a kayak. The local outdoor adventure store didn’t seem interested in taking my money and I felt like they were more agitated that I was there. So, reluctant and not expecting much I called Ship to Shore and Lucas answered the phone, he confirmed they did have the particular model I was interested in…. After arriving at the shop both employees greeted me and were happy to answer my questions after a lengthy discussion I ended up choosing a completely different kayak. They even let me test paddle it before I bought to make sure it would work for me as I am very tall and not a small guy. I can not say enough good things about Lucas and Ben and I will be back for all of my paddling and boat needs. They were genuinely interested in making sure I bought the right equipment for my intended use.”

11010 Harbor Hill Dr A, Gig Harbor“I stopped in at Big 5 Sporting goods this afternoon for a frisbee to bring on our family camping trip and the mission was a success. The store was clean and well organized and the staff were friendly and helpful. I had a difficult time finding the entrance, it is on the backside of the store.”

2500 SW Barton St, Seattle“Mission: SwimwearStatus: success. When it's October, out of swim season, and retail clothing stores no longer carry swimsuits go to Big5.Experience: Friendly attentive staff?”
9:30AM - 8PM
125 SW 148th St, Burien“Big 5 has always been my favorite Sporting Goods store. While their stores aren't as big as the larger chains, they always have what I'm looking for, and it always feels like home. The cashiers always acknowledge me when I enter and when I depart. Their customer service is heads above the others.”
10AM - 7PM
14907 4th Ave SW, Burien“Ordered a desk online and picked it up in store. The staff was friendly and an associate loaded the box into the car for me.I was also confused by Google as I was directed to the Staples at first. The Big Lots is open and located down the street next to LA Fitness. Until Maps is updated put in directions for LA Fitness instead.”
“I make a visit on each Seattle visit on the off chance they have something I may need. Quality merch and very good service. Check out their website for current hours and sales.”
“Got our growing kid some new shoes here today... again! And realized we will probably be a regular here now with all the growth spurts! Thanks for being here, Northwest Sports! These folks are great, don’t hesitate stopping in and getting some fresh gear!”
