LFS marine on the waterfront in Bellingham.

Holiday Sports, just off I-5 in Burlington is my favorite.

Sportco is good also, but they are a bit south of Seattle.
 
holidays right at the the highway to anachores I-20 I think, there's a mc donalds right across the street, then there wholesale sports on the other side of the highway google it and it will come up. and I've never been to sportsco but want to let us know what you think
 
Felix,

Be sure and stop at Ted's Sport Center in Lynnwood. Awesome shop.

If you do any shooting/hunting, then be sure to drop into Kesselrings:

http://www.kesselrings.com

4024 Old Highway 99 North Rd
Burlington, WA 98233
(360) 724-3113


They are just south of Bellingham about half way to Mount Vernon. You have to take the Alger exit (Exit 240) off of I-5 and head east about a mile, then turn south, parallel to I-5 and it is on your right, between that road and I-5, about 2 miles south of where you made the turn. The road is an old country road and takes you through some rural farm land - don't worry, you are not lost! They are there in the middle of nowhere.

Their website seems to be down for maintenance (a popular thing these days [V] )

It's been a few years since I've been down there, but it was one of the best gun stores in the country back then - probably still is.

If you see someone firing a shotgun in the parking lot - don't worry, it's fairly common there! :D

Thanks for the list of stores , I need more tackle like Luongo needs more Rubber "Behind Him" ,,[:eek:)],,GO OILERS GO !!!

So , Back Trick er Treating from our neighbors down South ,my findings , ( most right near Hwy 5 exits ), convenient


Being the one that " Wears The Pants" in this relationship ,Being the "Driver" , The Wife had no choice but to sit er butt down , keep er mouth shut , and enjoy the ride , Tackle Shopping , Lets Gettit On !!

# 1 - LFS Bellingham , Found this store to have more marine supplies than tackle , Parts , oils , cleaners yadada , they did have a great selection of HD gloves , Prawning Crabbing gear was good , Fishing Tackle was soso , not as good selection as the next 3 stores , stocked up on Crab n Prawn parts , ..http://www.lfsinc.com/

# 2 - Teds Sports center , Lynnwood , Smaller shop , but packed with goodies ,ALOT better tackle selection , Very organised , This shop had a unreal selection of Spoons ,Silver Horde by Kingfisher ,made right there in Lynnwood they told me , I can`t believe the selection of colors , BLOWS Coyote Spoons away ,bought a few to test drag , The Guy`s there were great , knew there stuff , highly recommend this shop if ur in the area ....http://www.tedssportscenter.com/

# 3 - Sportco & Outdoor Emporium ( next to Safeco Field ) , This is a large Shop ,Everything from Camping , Fishing , Hunting , similar to our Wholesale Sports I think , I found great prices on some sale items , scooped up 2 Bags of Alder , good luck finding it here in in Van , shoulda bought more , I believe $ 2. 49 a bag , half the price of other stores. Not sure if any of you know what a homemade copper pipe jig is , they sell them here , unreal !! A really good selection of everything , but , it is downtown , look out for those Hawk fans on Sunday afternoons , GONG SHOW.. they do have ther own parking lot ,so not so bad. Also the Best selection of Scents , the best i seen , i think there was a scent called " Osama Batter " ,,,[:0][:0],,deadly on WCVI , should be available soon..

# 4 - Holliday Sports , Burlington , Awesome Store , Hunting Shop next door as well ,this shops Plug selection was the best i seen South , Tomic Spoons and Plugs .Great selection of Do-It Molds , the best , the best section of Jigs i thought as well , just past Bellingham , Lotsa hats , lol,,, But seriously , a great West Coast Fishing Shop , find everything you need , one stop shop ,reminds me alot of our Shops ,,http://holidaysports.net/

At the end of the day , i noticed the prices have levelled out quite a bit , i dont think ur gonna save all that much , a little , selections were great, definately worth going if ur looking for somthing different to do, PNT is still my Bank..:D

OH Yeah , once home , the wife looked at me , asked me if i had enjoyed the weekend, umm Yup .. then wished me a Happy B-Day.......till next year i guess...[:eek:)][:eek:)]
