Easily the coolest REI store anywhere. Make sure you go through the main entrance, because its awesome. Kids play area and restaurant and climbing wall. I could die happy here.
Super helpful, attentive staff . Greatest store ever, though the amount of money I could spend here at any given time is dangerous. I love you, REI flagship. You've got it all.
We needed to get fitter for backpacks for our first backpacking trip. The gentleman who helped us "Martin" was great.He provided lots of great information, all of which got used on our trip.
Best tip! If you are coming for hiking boots definitely try the outlet. Someone has already broke them in for at least one hike ! Oh - def spring for the uber thick socks with wicking action!
Check out the Ranger Station, they are a plethora of parks and great places information!
The REI garage is free for 1 hour but paid afterwards. Make sure to set an alarm for yourself since it's so easy to get sucked into the awesomeness of the store.
Such a fun place to shop and explore. Huge REI with everything you could want for outdoors.
REI membership... Totally worth it. $20 for a lifetime membership, killer deals, coupons, garage sales, no receipt returns... I could go on
This is the REI that got me to become a member. There is a rock climbing wall, bike trail , staff is super knowledgeable .
GO HERE. I've been to other flagship stores and they never disappoint. Staff is so friendly and helpful. Make this a drop if you have time.
This is the biggest REI I have ever been. What I really like the most of REI is the staff . So knowledgeable and helpful and friendly !
Amanda from the bike shop was amazing. She took her time thoroughly looking over our bikes , giving us a fair assessment, and the best price on the tune up and part replacement possible.
If you plan on renting ski/snowboard equipment during the peak season you will need to reserve it WELL in advance. They will be out if you try to rent gear the day before your trip.
Leave the kids in the play area so you can shop in peace . You don’t have to pick them back up if you don’t want.
A treehouse that's just the right size for kids, and too small for adults. An excellent break from shopping. Awesome!
Mistral pants for men is perfect for travel, having zippered pocket in front and back make them a bit more pick pocket proof
Yes, it's a store and they have all the stuff you can get online but it's really a pretty amazing place to just check out.
REI's towering flagship store! Complete with bike test trail , a climbling wall, and enough outdoor gear to outfit the entire city .
If you come up through the “trails ” , from the street entrance, watch out for bikers test riding bikes . Some are a little inexperienced.
I love REI and considered this a pilgrimage. Was not disappointed. Bought some shoes at a deal!
Check out the "garage sale" area downstairs - I found a gently used pair of Vibrams there for under $40!!
Park in the garage then walk out where you drove in. Turn right and go around to the truck entrance. Start your shopping in the outlet/ lightly loved section.
Be sure to stop by the gear garage downstairs below cycling. They sell returned or partially damaged gear. You can find some awesome deals.
Has everything you may need for the outdoors. Friendly staff .
Huge selection! Could shop around in there for hours. Makes my wallet hurt.
Buying a pack? Bring in some gear, or gather some from around the store to get a realistic feel 4 the pack you're investing in. This is way better than using the sandbags. Then walk the store w/ pack
Flagship store with some pretty impressive surrounding architecture .
Amazing place, very helpful and nice people!
If you are size xs lady then enjoy the clearance racks of cute discount gear. Us Vikings are SOL
