Puget Sound camping/hunting stores?

[alchemyforge]

Hi folks.  Those of you in the Seattle/Bellevue/Everett triangle: Where do you go for your camping/hunting gear?  I'm talking about the "basics"- scents, salt blocks, packs, clothes, sleeping bags... that sort of stuff.  I had a Joe's just down the street and I've traveled as far north as Burlington to go to the Sportsman's Warehouse, but they're both gone.  I'm in Lynnwood and I know about Ed's- they just don't ever seem to have what I need (and if they do then it's too small).  I'd prefer to be able to do "one stop" shopping and it would be nice if the store kept its shelves reasonably well stocked (I'm talking to you, store-formerly-known-as-Joe's). 
Thanks!

If you take the Kingston ferry I believe they still have a Sportsmans warehouse in Silverdale. I havent been to one since the Canadian company took over not sure if it is still the same or not.

What about the Emporium in seattle. Never been there, but i know they are the sister store to Sportco....

The old Sportsmans Warehouse is now Wholesale Sports.  I have not been there since the old Sportmans was re-branded to Wholesale sports, but I do know they are open.

Thanks Goldeneye- I couldn't find the name of the new stores when I went searching for articles about the buyout.  They kept the Silverdale store, too, so when I'm on the Peninsula I know where I'm going.

You could also try REI. They have a lot of good camping/hiking stuff. There's one in Tacoma, I'm not sure of other locations but probably Seattle for one.

Check out Outdoor Emporium in Seattle if you're in the area, it is on 4th Ave S near Safeco field.  I give two thumbs up to the Wholesale Sports in Federal Way (formely Sportsmen's Warehouse) but that may be a bit of a trek for you.  REI is near downtown Seattle and is a camper's paradise.

outdoor emporium is a good store...been there a few times.
there's an REI in issaquah now, another one at redmond town center and the one in seattle and another one in lynnwood. there's a marmot store in bellevue if you want good clothing, i don't know where to tell you to go to get things like scents and salt blocks.

REI for your sleeping bags, stoves, and stuff like that. Cabelas is only 1 hour from Seattle, that would be your best bet for the other stuff. Sport Co is not a bad options either like mentioned, just seems Cabelas has more stuff then they do. Outdoor Emporium on 4th is alright, don't have much there.

not sure of the name but the sportsman warehouse in federalway was still open much the same as before the changed owners and sportco in fife was still open last I saw. then again as they saw cabelas is always there for us.

Sportco is having there "Tent Sale" this weekend.

Any feed store will have salt blocks, mineral licks etc.  I believe the McClenden's also has them...  I know Del's has various wildlife blocks and they are 100% cheaper than what you'll pay at Cabelas and other hunting store for smaller sized one..  7-8$ for a 50lb block of either trace mineral or salt..  Heck rock salt from Home Depot for water softener is just as good, maybe better as it is spreadable..

[yajsab]

As all said, Outdoor Emporium in Seattle, Wholesale Sports in Federal Way, Sportco in Fife, REI, and then Cabelas in Lacey.

Well I'm going to have to check out the Emporium now   Feed stores are a great idea Cohoho.  I'd considered rock salt but wasn't sure if the spreadable nature would be a negative... 
I may end up going to REI for my base layer- I can walk to the Alderwood anchor store but I don't usually think about them because they charge three prices for most everything.  But they're probably the best place for asking questions and checking fit.
