Trad Shops in the Seattle / Vancouver, BC Area

[Bobtulowiecki]

We are traveling out west to Seattle and Vancouver this week.  Although its not an "outdoor" trip, I was hoping to do some fly fishing for salmon/summer steelhead.  As a result of the heat and drought, most rivers are closed or not ethical to fish at this time.

To fill the void, can anyone steer me in th direction of any trad shops out that way? Thank you in advance.

Bob ... In the Seattle area I am sorry to say there is nothing in the way of a true Traditional archery shop since Northwest archery closed. As for fishing you might try booking a charter with one of the Puget Sound Charter outfits for some fishing in Puget Sound for salmon. The pink salmon run is huge this year.

You might want to check out Boorman's Archery in the Vancouver area...they will certainly have at least some traditional equipment...and as you likely know your dollars are worth over 1.25 here right now

Visited Boorman's Archery in Vancouver and was I impressed.  Bill spent half an hour with me shooting longbows made by local bowyers from British Columbia.  If anyone ever is I. The area, definitely check it out.  I may be maki some long distance orders.

I was stationed in AK (30 years ago)and had to ship a car out of Seattle.  Just happened to wander into  Mr.St Charles at his shop-my lucky day
