Pros
  • Good prices, especially after factoring in the licensing fee
Cons
  • Make sure you have your 'proof of sales tax' on you when doing the initial paperwork
I've purchased both a new weapon from this shop, as well as used them for my FFL for Gunbroker purchases. So I've had 3 exchanges with this shop in the last couple of months

I've used two other local shops, and have not come across the following issue previously. I went to fill out the paperwork to get the background check for the gun I had shipped there; I would have to return to take receipt of the gun, once the check was complete. The woman counterperson asked for proof that I had paid sales tax to the seller. I said I didn't have the receipt on me, can I just bring it when I pick up the gun after background check. 'Nope, violates our process flow protocol. You can't even fill out the background check paperwork without the tax proof'.

Given they had my gun and my $40 for the transfer fee, I did not appreciate such an attitude and lack of flexibility. Obviously, they can run their business any way they want to, but if you want to avoid an extra trip, make sure you have your receipt showing sales tax payment.

I will continue to use them for my local FFL.

Pros
  • Good service
  • Fair selection for a small store
Cons
  • Small store gets cramped when it's busy
  • Sketchy parking lot
Received a can and an online transfer through here, everything was good.
Also purchased a bunch of accessories over the years.
Pretty good crew over here.

Coolest part were the arcade machines, but didn't see them working last time.

Pros
  • Great service, knowledgeable crew.
Cons
  • It gets packed but that's not the store's fault.
Transferred and purchased quite a few guns from there. It's easy to chat with the crew while you wait. Occasional doodoo bags go there feigning ignorance about gun safety and gun laws (no I'm not taking about new gun owners) and you get quite a good show.
Best information and service

Visited with a friend to pick up a rifle. Small shop with limited inventory. Great access to high in tactical weapons. If I need another halo gun for my collection, this is the first place I will look.

My favorite shop in the state. I've been to many gun shops from Olympia to Everett and this spot has been the most consistent in terms of service, prices, and actually having items I want in stock. Awesome group over there!
