Zumiez

Friendly staff except for cashier when it was time to check out and was in a hurry. couldn’t get anyone to check me out. when I finally got someone, I went to pay and let him know I had the change but I was met with an instant, «it’s too late» .terribly rude and unprofessional. I wish got his name, pretty sure he was Asian

Zumiez is a board store… Kind of. It still has some decks in the back of the store and you can actually have them build an entire skateboard from the grip tape on top all the way down to the wheels on the bottom. They also have several other displays throughout the store of longboards as well.
They have a great selection of skull caps and beanies so if you want a large selection this is a good place. I was checking a few out and there is a sale of buy one get one half off. They also have some hats as well including regular and new era.
Tons of T-​shirts all over the place and actually I’m sure you can pretty much find something you’re looking for here. I like the style of clothes even though it’s been a while since I skated. There are less actual «skate» brands and more of the «cultural» brands here. I think they had some great looking Obey shirts as well as some hot hoodies.
They had some jackets in the back of the store and of course there were pants too. They have a large selection and the clothe de are for both men and women.
Sales staff care friendly and polite and also interested in helping you find what you’re looking for.
When I skated I never bought a board at Zumiez, but someone else bought me one as a gift. It was put together well and all thei arts were legitimate. The thing was that I think it’s best to give your money to a local skate place if your interested in building one from scratch because you will have more options. I was watching a guy build one for some parents getting a gift for their kid and he knew what he was doing.
Nice store, much nicer than some of the other Zumies I’ve seen. The inly thing I didn’t like was that there were boxes of stuff on the floors and it seemed a bit messy at the time. Otherwise great staff and good selection of clothes.

We had a great experience here last Saturday. We (being completely clueless about skateboards) had ordered what we had thought was a complete board on Amazon for my younger cousin but what we got was just the deck so we went here to get the parts we needed to complete the board. As soon as we walked into the store, we were greeted by a friendly worker whose name escapes me. He took us back to the skateboarding area and took the time to explain the various parts and what the differences were. When I told him that the board was just for someone starting out, he helped us pick the parts that were on the lower end in terms of prices and after we paid, he had another associate help us assemble the board. This associate walked us through what he was doing and and how it affected the ride experience. Afterwards, took the time to answer questions about how to stand and ride on the board. Great service all around. I actually got into the hobby and bought myself a longboard at the Zumiez at Alderwood mall a few days ago because of my positive experience here.

Racist employees followed me and my boyfriend around their store. This isn’t an isolated incident, but all their employees were too tied up following black people around the store to give customers needing attention any help.
