Zumiez

«You mean this isn’t West 49?»
Well, kind of. If you’ve got a teenage kid in your life, and are stumped on what to buy him or her for their birthday, you can’t go wrong in Zumiez. Like West 49, Zumiez carries clothing and gear for the skater, the surfer or… like Barbizon, the guy who just wants to look like one. They carry brands like Diamond, Nixon, Vans, and Stüssy. Remember Stüssy??? It’s back for all those kids born in the ‘90s that want to bring back the awful fashion we thought we left buried in photo albums.
There’s couches with video games, staff is friendly and laid back, and while prices are a little steep for this to be a regular stop if you’ve got a big household and more than one kid to make sure they leave the house with pants on; it’s definitely a good place to stop if you want to impress the teen in your life that’s trying really hard to show he DGAF.
Also, there’s a shirt here that has a sexy, bespectacled lady on it that looks just like my sister. Which was awkward and hilarious for my nephew.
