Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Yes you might be able to get things cheaper online but I love supporting local business and they are priced very competitively. The selections are great and the service is excellent. Thank you Brian for helping my daughter get her gears ready for roller boarding camp! read more

I drove all the way from Vancouver, WA after speaking to Jacob on the phone. Upon arriving, he was extremely helpful and patient. I felt bad as I had tried on so many pairs of skates to find the right fit, but he didn't mind and actually recommend other ones for me to try on as well. I ended up purchasing a pair of skates and have been super happy. It was worth the trip up to ensure I had a good fit, and their customer service was top notch. I will be coming back in the future whether it's in person or purchasing online at their website! read more

Can't say enough about the selection and staff at the store. I was wanting to purchase a particular genre of skate, but after trying on several different styles, we came to the conclusion there were skates that were better for my abilities. They are extremely knowledgeable about styles and brands and the great thing is if I get back up to speed and rolling fast, I can always go back in and change up my trucks and wheels. Absolutely the best skate shop I have ever been in. Pretty easy to park, street parking. The store is beautiful and hip. Prices are very competitive. read more

Awesome shop! Visiting from out of town and dropped in close to their closing time but they still took time to chat and show me skates I was interested in. Locals are lucky to have such a nice in-line skate shop! read more

This shop is a gem for someone who is serious about skating inline. The shop has only good quality gear. No junk. Brian is thoroughly knowledgeable about his products and is an active aggressive skater, as well as a patient good listener. He will make every attempt to get you into equipment that is right for you from the array of gear he has. There is no better shop around for this. The shop is geared toward aggressive and recreational. If you're experienced and bent towards slalom and/or dance, and you know what you want, it might be that he doesn't have it. Specifically iGor boots, rockered 231 frames, (few) 72mm wheel sizes, g-form pads, rustproofs or bones swiss bearings. But he can probably get you something else. read more

We drove all the way from Portland mostly to visit this store and it was so worth it! Over the course of more than 4 hours spread across 2 days, Jacob, The employee who helped us out, tirelessly answered our questions and climbed up and down the ladder and switched out configurations and checked our fit, asked us the right questions to think about, and ensured that my wife and I got exactly the perfect skate and setup. Absolutely worth the drive if you are planning to get inline skates and you don't have a good inline shop in your city, especially if you are new to inline skating and want to get something halfway decent. read more

This is the kind of place that deserves all the positivity. Clearly I'm not the only one who's had a 5 star experience. I'm a 300lb guy that took a single hard fall that would have made the skates I bought unreturnable anywhere else. After a week I realized I bought the wrong boot. These lovely people took it back for 80% store credit, more than I could have sold it for anywhere else. That, and your next closes bet to try on a pair of decent skates is Colorado. With no competition there's no reason their service should be this good. A+ store. I live an hour away but purchase everything I can through them because I never want them to go away. read more

I got my skates here and I was very happy with the way the person at the front helped me. He answered all my questions, was in no rush to sell me the most expensive stuff or to get rid of me (and there were people waiting outside to enter the store) and offered me the coolest thing: wheels that light up!! Why I don't give 5 stars: * they only had a big size for wrist guards (I was stupid and rode without them and broke my wrist) * they didn't have brakes * manager never replied to my email asking for info about when I could return to buy that stuff. You'd wonder they want your money. I'm very happy with my skates and glad that I supported a local business. Plus if I have an issue I can just go back and they will be able to fix it for me. read more

I love this store! You can try on skates in store to find out which fits you the best, the staffs are super friendly and they helped me putting the skates on and even showed me how to do the movements and how to stop! I'll definitely go back when I need more stuffs lol read more

Shop Task - Skate Shops Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Stopped in here for new in-line skates for myself and my wife. The Covid protocols were great with lots of space between us and other patrons. We got 1-1 attention for fittings, demos and advice. We got there at 4 and finished up near closing and the helpful salespeople got all our gear set for us. We felt really bad about staying after close to finish the sale but they were super kind about it. Thanks so much!!! read more

This Momma took her teenage son in to get fitted for skates and of course I decided it was time to return to skating myself. The customer service was amazing. We tried on at least three pairs of skates each only after we received a lesson on all the options - four wheels, three wheels, big wheels...wow inline skates sure have changed over the past 20+ years! My son ultimately selected white "Them" skates with LED wheels. He does his best NOT to smile for pictures but he could not contain himself. This Momma rolled out with some state of the art Rollerblades with intuition liners. Thank YOU Shop Task for an awesome experience and the best service. We will be back as our skating improves to upgrade. read more

Shop Task - Don't smile. #teenager - Skate Shops Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I really do appreciate the service I got from Shop Task, although I have to shop digitally because I live in Oregon, a state with ZERO inline skate shops (to my knowledge). I was tired of buying the wrong skates for myself (those being Powerslide Swells and Rollerblade Endurance) and am limited in what is available, as I am a woman with size 7.5 feet, and that's pretty small in men's size, which is what you have to buy if you want 125 mm wheels. Skate Shop is accessible for consultations, and only carry quality skates. Long story short, I got perfect skates for my needs: FR FR 325 and knew they'd fit after talking to whomever from Shop Task, who listened to me, really listened, and helped me out. Wish there was a Shop Task store in Portland or Eugene! read more

I visited the store while I was on a business trip to Seattle. Even I wasn't buying at that time, Brian took the time to answer all my questions and let me try the gear on. Few week later I placed the order online which was promptly shipped, and within few days I got my skates in Miami. Definitely will do business with them again! read more

It's very cool to have a rollerblade shop like this nearby. It's uniquely simple, there just aren't many pure inline shops and it's nice that all the merchandise is so sleek and looking good. I came in because I needed new wheels and I got new wheels and good sales service from Bryan. read more

Bought a new pair of rollerblades maxxum 84 from Brian. He was super patient. It took me 2 days to make a decision and lots of trying on and he handled it like a champ. Super patient, really knowledgeable, and offered a lot of tips to someone who hasn't skated in a decade. I love my new skates and use them several times a week. I was originally going to come here and try some skates on and see what I liked and then order them online. What changed my mind? The service. Hands down. It was definitely worth paying a little bit more to support a local shop and be treated like I was a valued customer. I feel like if I ever had anymore questions or concerns I could go back and ask for help. Totally worth it! Thank you a lot! The service here was unbeatable!! read more

Got my rollerblades yesterday and took them for a spin today and I am 100% satisfied. I never thought that I'd live my childhood again but with nicer rollerblades. There are many options to choose friend and at a pretty reasonable price. You can test them inside (always nice). And the person who helped me was super nice! Amazing. Definitely will come back again! read more

I bought some skates at this place on Sunday 11.13.16. I don't recall the young mans name, but this was the best customer service experience I've ever had. Completely knowledgeable about not only their product lines, but also anything else I wanted to know about inline skating or skates, including products they don't stock. Zero pressure, nice store, friendly staff, and a smooth open floor to test skates on. In a world where you usually have to go online and guess your foot size per brand for skates, which can easily run into the hundreds or thousands of dollars, having this shop available was is a life saver. read more

My 17 year-old inlines died just before my wife and I left for Seattle for a long vacation. We found this place online and stopped in to see about new skates. They exceeded my expectations in every way! The guy working the shop (Brian) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, the selection was great, and there was no pressure to get something that was more expensive. He worked with me to get a pair of skates that fit well and met my needs. I couldn't be happier! read more

Went into the shop for the first time. 0 knowledge or previous experience. Got a birthday present for a friend. It was Saturday, busy and only person in the shop was Brian(not sure on spelling). He did an excellent job providing suggestions and feedback while assisting others at the same time. Not once did we feel neglected. We left and talked about how nice and a cool guy he was. Felt lucky to have him in the shop. Great first time experience, thanks again Brian! read more

Amazing Inline skate shop. My wife and I were passing through Seattle and got a chance to try on some skates, Brian was very knowledgeable about sizing and products, very friendly and, helpful. We typically skate on aggressive skates for tricks and skate parks but really wanted some skates for freestyle and cruising so we each picked up a pair and were very happy about our purchase. If you wanna try on some skates and get the correct skates for your feet so you could have tons of fun go to shop task. read more

Best shop ever! Incredible staff. Brian is one of the best dudes ever and can help you with any rollerblading related questions. Grateful to have such a dope shop near me. read more

I needed new inline hockey wheels and knew that shis shop was in town. Grabbed the kids and headed over to replace the wheels. This place is great! II ran into the owner and Brian in the shop and let them know what I was looking for and they immediately stated that while they didn't have hockey wheels that there were a number that would work and set about explaining the wheel selection. Honesty and lack of pressure, great traits in retail. I settled on a set and Brian set them up quickly. The shop is very welcoming and passionate about skating and customer service. They have a nice space that is big enough to test skates and a great selection of aggressive and fitness skates. While in the shop they also gave some stickers to the kids and a DVD of the shop skaters to my son. I will be back to do business with this store. One note: (t is a bit off the beaten path of 50th and Roosevelt, a bit south and behind Scarecrow video and as such a little difficult to find, if you don't now the area. That said it is worth the search) read more

Me and my Boyfriend ordered skates from Shop Task just recently. Mine arrived promptly in great condition! My boyfriends weren't able to be shipped right away, but Brian sent a very kind email to him letting him know and responded to a check in email he sent as well. Awesome customer service! Highly recommend for your skating needs. read more

I recently caught the itch to relive former glories in skateparks, and was searching for a new pair of aggressive skates. The service was great, the fella behind the counter was great, and very knowledgable. Set me up with a new pair of xsjados for about the same price I would have paid online. I will be back for those frames soon! read more

Real skate shop by real skaters, Brian is very knowledgable about skates, events and current trends in rollerblading. He helped me out finding the right size and type of skate for my style of blading (aggressive inline) the shop also seems to match and compare different prices from different stores. Pants were on sale for 40 bucks instead of 80 from different stores so I also got the same one for the same price! I've been waiting for a real blading shop since skatebarn west closed down several years back, and it feels great to be able to just walk in the shop welcomed if there were anything that I needed whether it's from parts, advices or just to hangout! Great place to shop for sure, please check out this store you won't regret it! read more

Brian is the best! His prices are great and his knowledge is beyond reproach. Don't shop online because without the knowledge and experience base, you will waste money on inferior parts and skates. I went into Shop Task for some Rollerblade axels, and couldn't get enough of his information about skates, wheels, bearings....he should teach a class! read more

Skates are pricey but worth it, the quality of their products are excellent and the help you get is awesome. Ask for Brian, he's very knowledgeable and a great help! I've purchased 2 pairs so far for my grandson and he's very happy! Visit Shop Task you won't be disappointed! read more

This is a very cool spot. The guy who helped me was patient and knowledgeable, and even helped me customize my new skates. I'm excited that there's a shop dedicated to rollerblading in Seattle. Thanks dudes! read more

This is the only shop we found that had both a good selection of skates and a very helpful assistant.

The customer service is great. Brian the owner, knows his stuff and is super helpful. Above and beyond place. A service to the community for sure. read more

Super helpful shop. The fellow who is always there is extremely helpful, patient and knowledgable. He doesn't try to oversell. Recently I tried on 4 potential new pairs, none of which were quite right. So then he happily upgraded my wheels and I'm back in business. read more

Love this store. They sold my son a sweet pair of blades and I hope he will skate with me soon. They also completely "serviced" my blades for FREE. Smooth rolling! Thank you. So glad you are here. read more

Super happy this is the fourth pair I've bought with friends and couldn't be happier! Super nice prompt service will always be back for more! Definently #1 ! read more
