Outdoor Nirvana

If you are looking for more outdoor sportswear, or are in the market for a kayak, tent, snowshoes, or hiking boots—including weekend rentals—head to the nearby South Lake Union neighborhood for a visit to the memorable REI flagship store. For serious old-school anglers and mountain men, you can't miss the out-of-the-way Filson flagship store south of Downtown, for plaid vests, rugged pants, and coats that will last a lifetime.
