The parking lots are way bigger than they will ever need, and they are patriotic with flags adorning their property for Memorial Day and The 4th. Cabela's has a great selection for folks who love outdoor activities. Great place for selecting gifts for family and friends. I highly recommend this place for almost everything they sell!

However, have you ever been in this place? I thought it was a shop just for farmers who need farming equiment, but this place is great. It's kinda like a combination of an Ace Hardware and a Cabelas. They have stuff for your DIY projects so I picked up a part to fix my shower diverter in my tub, but they also have clothing, toys, hunting and fishing equipment, with nice wide, clean aisles. Aesthetically, they are awesome. They had one section with different colors of lawn sprinklers and it was stunning. This place does not get enough love, but it will from me because this place is so cool. Try it out!

REI is a place of GOOD gear. They sell things that work. I have walked into that store many times,…read morethe scent of new fabric and rubber sharp in the air, and found what I needed to survive. The boots will take you through rain and mud and snow. They're made to take you somewhere. Somewhere rough. Somewhere real. The tents hold up in wind, but you will hear the wind whistle through the seams if the storm is strong enough, because Mother Nature will never bow to man's interventions. You pay a price for that. The press sings songs about REI like it's the holy land for outdoor men and women, and maybe that's true in parts. But you don't go there for ceremony, you go for the tools. They make good tools. You don't want to trust your life to something flimsy when you are out there, far from the roads and the towns, when your survival depends on gear. REI has it, in its clean rows, with its well-meaning salespeople, and its prices that sting a little but still make sense. It is the day-to-day, too. The jacket for the morning walk. The pack for the hike with your daughter. The water bottle that won't quit, no matter how many miles you pour through it. It holds up for the small things and the big. It holds up for life. It isn't perfect, but neither are you. Still, you trust it.

Considering that I hadn't had the bike serviced in 12 years, and MANY dried up parts had to be replaced, the service wasn't terribly expensive, as REI gave me discounts. I paid $500 for that bike in 1995, which amounts to about $1,100 today, and the service cost about a third of that $1,100, reasonably low-ish also because I'm a member. Now I'll transport that bike on our new Kuat Sherpa 2.0 bike carrier, also purchased earlier at this store. I'm a happy camper.

From the moment we stepped inside, we were warmly welcomed with genuine smiles and greetings. Every person we encountered seemed to spred a sense of joy and happiness. When we were searching for free weights, a helpful staff member guided us to the right section. Another young man proactively offered his assistance, going above and beyond to find the perfect weights and even a weight stand. This store's commitment to outstanding customer service and friendliness is truly inspiring. Kudos to the best customer service down to the cashier that rang us up! The store is so well organized, clean and has mall parking! My favorite sporting goods store!

Tim treated me with respect and courtesy. If you have any questions or issues go to him. He works right there at their golfing section. Believe me, you won't regret it.

Today April 08 2026 Silver is sitting at $73-$77/oz right now and these things retail for $90-$96 easy. They handed me $48.17 like they were doing me a favor. Wow. Just wow. You get a $1 "Pawn Buck", lol wait wait that's not a loan offer, its a bill, we actually spoke to a customer??? Ok ok heres your imagination participation trophy for showing up with something valuable. The ticket says I'd need $64+ to redeem it after 90 days, highlighted by a big purple-circled $16.25 "itemization of the finance charge" that feels like they just made up a number and hoped I wouldn't notice. Storage fee, doc prep, the whole menu of "because we can" charges. Meanwhile, another buyer on Pacific Ave offered $68 on the spot. $68 vs $48, and zero chance of my coin becoming their new wall mount. This isn't pawning....this is comedy hour with your assets as the punchline. Washington has rules on these fees for a reason, and the $16.25 line smells like it's doing the cha-cha around them. If you're in the olympia area and enjoy losing money with a side of creative accounting, go right ahead. Everyone else? Take it to a legit coin shop to at least get spot prices... You'll get actual spot value instead of this financial stand-up routine. Do better, or at least be funnier about robbing people.
