Due to this being the flag-ship REI of all REI's, it's little wonder how truly incredible the inside of this massive store is laid out.
The staff are very helpful & do not run away from you when you approach them with a question. The exciting interior design presents itself as a wilderness Disneyland for adventurous folks from all walks of life.
The only con I have is that the bathrooms are so freaking far away from the entrance; in a city with a homeless population as horrid as Seattle's, this design makes a whole lot of sense.
If you haven't checked out this REI yet do so, you'll be happy that you did.
