While they seem to dedicate a majority to baseball/softball, they have some soccer and football gear. Risan also provides meeting areas for sports teams and they also provide a uniform service for sports teams. While this place is not the biggest and the inventory is not online the service here is fantastic, The staff is knowledgeable and always willing to help. If you are looking for a piece of equipment, call Risan or stop in and check it out.

Ive been to Risan several times over the past couple months for our select baseball team to pick up…read moregear and uniforms. Our go to person we've been ordering from is Kristin, but I've been in and received help from Ryan and multiple different folks. All are welcoming and helpful. I wish I would have known about Risan a couple seasons back when we were having trouble finding cleats. They had a TON of options, same goes for bats ( they even had the Fire bat which was one of my son's top asked for bday items). There was a day recently where Kristin was not in, and I was able to still get a response from her via email and her coworker even text her to get a response. The team at Risan cares about their customers and that's rare to find nowadays. Every time I've been in I see someone else there getting great service, and you can tell they've had some relationships with local schools and teams for years and years. I also like that they're able to do small batch orders. We were considering doing a dozen hats for parents and Kristin was more than happy to get quotes for me. Next time we need any baseball gear for the team or just my son, we'll be hitting up Risan. Highly recommend for baseball gear in Kirkland/Redmond/Sammamish.

As a foodie, I'm slowly but surely eating my way through this shopping center! I can't say my…read morewallet is happy about it, but I've enjoyed a number of meals here over the years, especially as new spots have popped up. The selection is pretty diverse in terms of types of food - burgers, ramen, pasta, sushi, pizza, Thai (vegan) and more... it's all here! For a little treat, grab ice cream at Salt & Straw, a boba tea from Don't Yell at Me, or a coffee and pastry at 203º Fahrenheit Coffee. It's tough to resist any of these. With this being an outdoor shopping center, it's the most lively during the spring and summer. There is a main outdoor seating area near the cinema and tables here fill up pretty quickly during the warmer months with people who opt for takeout from one of the casual eateries. Across the street, smaller sections of seating are accompanied by fireplaces. I've been grateful for the fireplaces and heat lamps during the wintertime! Other than exploring the food options, I enjoy browsing Nordstrom Rack and could spend hours at the Barnes & Noble. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are also here. Along with these larger stores, there is a variety of small boutique-like shops, providing an opportunity to support the small businesses. As for parking, the main lot in front of Trader Joe's and Nordstrom Rack get pretty crowded, so I'd recommend parking in the garage on the side of Chase bank. Each parking spot in this garage has a light over it that turns red if occupied and green if available, making it really easy to navigate. With spring right around the corner, I'm sure I'll find myself here again shortly!

This is an example of a well done mixed-use area/center. It has retail, restaurants, office space,…read moreand even residential apartments! I initially had some reservations about finding parking since the outer lots were pretty full and busy due to the Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, but as I walked into the middle of the area, I realized that there were also free parking garages that I could have used. Thoughtfully enough, they even had the number of spaces available displayed on the entrances. This place must get super busy to need that feature! I liked how the greenery was well kempt, and how there were navigational signs so you don't get lost. I went to the Paper Source, Due Cucina, and Don't Yell At Me. Super convenient! I guess the only thing I wished it could have was a better way to travel there through public transportation.

During this visit, I was browsing for cycling shorts and looking around other sections of the store--like I usually do when I shop for outdoor or camping gear. As I walked near the kayaks, an employee named Chad suddenly shouted across the store, "Are you OK?" in a loud, almost accusatory tone. I wasn't sure if he was speaking to me, but when I asked, he said yes. It made me feel like I was being watched suspiciously, even though I was simply browsing. When I went to the register, I mentioned that his tone had startled me. Instead of apologizing, he just nodded and made a "hmm, hmm, hmm" sound while looking away--completely dismissive and unkind. There was no "sorry," no acknowledgment, and when I paid, he didn't even say "thank you" or show the slightest courtesy. Immediately after, I saw him speak to another customer with a big smile and a polite tone. The difference in how he treated us was obvious and upsetting.

I was able to find pretty affordable ski pants too. They have a good selection. The people working here are pretty friendly. They helped me expand my ski boots with this ski warmer and it helped a lot in terms of comfort with skiing. They also gave me more tips on how to prevent my legs from being bruised because of the tightness of the ski boots.

They have a few other sports, but were specifically looking for hockey gear which they don't have at this location. Their parking lot is small and was full so even after circling the block several times, we couldn't find a spot, and ended up parking in the garage at the Schoolhouse District across the street, and then shortly after perusing the store, ended up heading to a different Play it Again Sports Location. Now I know!

Within the hour my order is cancelled and I was told the item was no longer available.

I spoke to the manager who actually more attentive and pleasant than the Redmond store managers. The lay out of this particular Goodwill is ok, the shoes are kept up organized. They have a power strip ready to be used to test out electronics and though I know it's hard to keep the children's section tidied up, it was surprisingly organized. The highlight of my visit here was that I found some good condition Jordan Proto-max 720 sneakers in my size. I'm not a giant sneaker head...just a tiny bit and could tell before looking it up it was a steal. After doing so, I was right - $29.99 but they go for over $130! They may be dead stocked at this point. Needless to say, these were scooped immediately.
