Fall City Firearms is again open for business. Downtown Fall City, WA.

Thats great to hear either way. Great to have a close to home gun shop.

No not my business, but over the many years Lee Stallman and his family operated Fall City Firearms at their earlier location, he's become a good friend. Always a fun shop to visit. Well stocked with shooting and reloading supplies and you never know what you're going to see in the way of new and classic firearms.

Nice!!!!!! Saw the signage on the side of the store a few days ago and started freaking out. My dad had no clue what was going on, but I had a feeling it was coming back.  Shame they tore it down for that d*mn traffic circle a few years back

Doesn't look like they're too far off the beaten path here on the wet side and may be worth a trip up North.  I usually head to Surplus Ammo and Arms in Lakewood when I'm up North.  Do you know if they will be publishing a website?

This is good news.
I had just discovered them before they closed the old store.
You have more details re location?

If you're heading E. on 202, its in the last portion of the shopping center to your right, just before the right turn to Preston (Preston-Fall city Rd SE), and ultimately a 1/4mi before the traffic circle, where it used to be located.

If using a navigation device, look around 338 Pl SE, off of SE Redmond-Fall city Rd (202)

Hope they'l continue stocking reloading supplies, the trips to Cabelas are killing me...

Lee is a good guy.  I'm glad he's back in business, I bought my trust .270 from Fall City Firearms a number of years back.

Just got back from there, love the fact its so close (& open 7 days a week!)

Great prices, good selection, you can buy bowling pins and from the sound of it, theres much more to come! They said reloading supplies were going to be huge there, so I'm a happy guy..

So

I agree. I look forward to seeing what they do with the place. I couldn't buy anything on Saturday because he didn't have the setup to take plastic but it looks good for the future. I asked about T/C stuff and it sounds like they're going to have a good muzzleloader selection with the T/C's.

Nice, thanks for asking about that! I've yet to come across a store (other than Cabaleas) where you can find any T/C parts/accessories/etc.. Was definitely hoping to see more ML's there too

Went by on Mon.. Wasn't taking plastic yet should be there by now... has his FFL but not his State Gun sales Lic yet suposed to have it friday... Their Ruger 10-22 are pretty reasonable.. $230 for Sinthetic and laminated ones i think... I really like how at the register he had Cabellas pricing on certain items comparting them to his.. Ammo prices seemed pretty good too. Had no cash so i couln't support the cause.

I worked part time at Fall City Firearms for over 14 years and I cannot recommend Lee and his shop highly enough. Lee is fair, above board and honest in his dealings and provides shooters with the epitomy of what an old style gun shop should be. If Lee doesn't have something in stock, he will get it or keep trying to get it until eventually it gets there. Lee also gives the fairest prices on used and estate guns if you are looking to sell some.

I live in Florida now, and miss our old shop, and our customers. I'm glad that Lee reopened and that Fall City Firearms lives on. Washington State DOT is a despicable organization to do what it did, when an alternative intersection design would have kept 3 businesses intact. Instead, they took the land and property for 1/2 of what their own appraiser evaluated their worth at, and told Lee to sue them for the rest... Yeppers, your government at work to serve the taxpayers.

Keep your powder dry....
