Urban
Surf
2100 N. Northlake Way | ph: (206) 545.9463
Urban Surf is the type of shop you'd expect to find along a sunny beach boardwalk - not in a city where water temperatures
are more akin to Polar Bear dives. But this doesn't stop the shop from being an excellent resource for Seattle's hardy watersports enthusiasts.
Urban Surf sells and rents gear for surfers, windsurfers, in-line skaters, and has recently become one of the best places to find kiteboarding
equipment and information. The shop also hosts sports clinics, and, of course, sells and rents wetsuits. |

Sonic
Boom
3414 N Fremont Avenue | ph: (206) 547.2666
Fremont's hipsters and cool musicians gather here to feed their music libraries with all genres of music. Concert posters,
old record covers, and promotional materials line the walls, but most people are focused on the music stacks. Look through the electronic
and locals sections for some really good sounds. |
