This is the flagship REI store in downtown Seattle. For an in depth look at any product line available, this is the best branch to visit, we occasionally drive over from the Eastside. For example, looking for a new bike, they have an outdoor test track unlike any other REI. Looking at backpacks, unbelievable stock on hand to try out. The helpful employees and quality gear are all standard, but when online shopping is not going to answer your questions, and you want hands on time with many options, this is the store to go to. Parking garage isn't great, but 1st hour free, self service pay kiosk on the way out, all in all worth it for the experience.
