I am hard to impress when it comes to pocket knives. Very reasonable prices for brick and mortar store, often seeing people charging a lot closer to msrp and higher in Seattle. Go get a sick spyderco pm2 in cruwear with canvas micarta, or maybe the salt serious pm2 in glorious magnacut! Or just a mora if you need an amazing 20$ knife. Best part of the store? Definitely be the weirdo Joe M. In the back of the house, that guy is hilarious. Maybe one of the best people I've met.

They've been here for a long time, and I've been using them for a long time. In their pet supply section alone, they have all kinds of items and food for birds both indoors and outdoors, satisfying my African Grey and his little conure friend as well as all the juncos and chickadees in my backyard. I love walking through the store because of the great supply of all kinds of things: from farm implements, lawn care items, tools, gloves, hats, cages, more. Also found some fun toys and treats for our cat. There is a huge selection of cat and dog food, as well as stuff for less common pets such as guinea pigs, chickens and rabbits. (Were the Wallaby treats actually for kangaroos?) Lots of wonderful stuff for us humans too, especially for the holidays. Saw some wonderful silvery reindeer to go in yards, and bought some wonderful hanging tropical chimes for our house. Overall this place is a real treat.

After a horrible experience with a Bellingham hardware store, your staff went above and beyond to…read moretry and locate the items I needed. I handed them a fitting (I did not know size of) that I needed a tap and die set for and they took the time to figure out exactly what I needed.

I walked in on a Saturday looking for a compression angle stop. I have no clue what it is except…read morethat it is a plumbing part. My clueless expression must have shown on my face because the gal at the front desk ask if I needed help. (I later learned her name is Lily) she lead me to the plumbing section and spent some time looking through the rows and rows of straight stops and angle stops hoping to find the right fit. After 5-10 mins she got another staff's (Gabriel) attention asking to help. So together after several minutes and few trips back and forth along the plumbing aisle, they patiently figured out the difference in size fitting between a copper & iron pipe. In the end, Gabriel found the angle stop that fitted the water filter to my bidet. Shout out to Lily and Gabriel for their dedication to assist customers in need. The management should be proud of these two team members.
