Just found out there will be a new Cabela's store going in by Tulalip Casino just north of Marysville! Am so excited, now I just need a second job

koorbloh

sweet! another place to buy overpriced stuff! only real place to shop is the bargain cave.

I wish they'd bring a sportsmans up here

What's sportmans? Is it like a cabelas? I live pretty close to puyallup.

koorbloh

ever been to wholesale sports in federal way? that used to be a sportsman's. the only thing that changed is the name.

68shooter

No I haven't. I'll have check that out. I go to sportco in fife so federal way isn't that far from there.

"Sportsman's" is one of those places with great prices but they're always out of what you need.

The new Cabela's will be within sight of my house from the other hill. At least now we'll have someone in Snohomish County that actually stocks reloading equipment and supplies.

Will still use my online sources but for something I need in a hurry it will come in handy. No more 60 mile trips for a pound of powder.

koorbloh

yeah, I'll go there because it's there, but I'd rather a sportsmans or sportco came up.


btw, for reloading stuff, check adventure sports in lynnwood ;)

I go to Sportsman's for almost everything pertaining to fishing or hunting. A Cabellas opened last month in Eugene and I've been wanting to go over there to check it out sooner or later.

Yeah no shit. Now two Cabela's in WA, both an hour away from Seattle.

I have. Not bad if you don't mind paying their prices. Last box of Bench Rest Primers I bought there cost $62. Only $37 at Powder Valley Inc.

For the bulk of my reloading supplies I order online. I refuse to pay close to $30 for a pound of powder I pay $17 for by buying in quantity and having it shipped to my door. Also, Lynnwood is one of the highest Sales Tax cities in the State. At those price differences it doesn't take a very large order to offset the hazmat fee ($25). Couple that with the convenience of front door delivery and no 10% sales tax (9.6 in Lynnwood), it makes the savings even better. Even though Lynnwood isn't all that far away it costs another $10 worth of gas for a round trip.

For me, Cabela's will only be for a Buffalo Burger and a pound of powder I need right away.

They really really need to bring something east of 405 out towards the Issaquah-North Bend area!! Im sorry but Sports Authority and Big 5 just dont cut it out here. Driving to Dicks Sporting Goods is kinda lame since they dont have a great selection on anything. I would love to see something show up out here so I dont have to drive to Lacey or Marysville...

GixxerPete

Have you tried Sportco in Fife? They have a pretty good selection and have reloading components in stock. Bit of a drive from Fall City, but a lot better than Lacey or Marysville!

deadshot2

For some dumb reason they build these stores where there are lots of people.

The one in Lacey is close enough to Oregon to even draw from the Portland area, and the one coming in Tulalip will attract the Canadians that are already swarming the Outlet Mall. For those in Seattle, it probably makes a lot more sense to go to Marysville than Lacey.

Sure is going to screw up the already bad traffic on the two interchanges.

pnwvolks

Yeah I have thought about it many times, but when i get that far south I just think screw it and figure why not go all the way to Lacey haha. I tend to do a crap load of online buying when it comes to ammo and accessories. I might make a trip and try out Sportco this weekend or next just to give it a shot.

There are a lot of people east of 405 believe it or not and a ton of those people are into the outdoors. If you put a big outdoorsmen store east of 405 you could pull from Bellevue-Ellensburg. Many buddies of mine out this way agree it would be nice to have something other then Big 5 and Sports Authority to choose from east of 405.

Oh and REI just does not cut it in Issaquah its tiny and if you dont like granola they think you are the Anti Christ!

GixxerPete

Well maybe I can sweeten the pot a little for you... not far from Sportco, back up I-5 a bit in Federal Way is Sportsman's Warehouse or whatever they're calling it these days, which also has a lot of reloading stuff, but not as many guns, esp pistols as Sportco. And less than a mile north on Pacific Highway from Sportsmans is Federal Way Discount Guns, which has a good selection of guns and about the best prices I've found around here, and they have a small selection of reloading components. So that trifecta might be worth the drive and stopping before Lacey.

Awesome Ill check those places out in the next couple weeks. My brother has been bugging me to take him when I go look at guns and shoot supplies.

Thanks!
