The Commons at Federal Way (S. 320th St., www.tcafw.com) has over 100 stores including Macy’s and Sears. Also in Federal Way is an REI (2565 S. Gateway Center Plaza, 253/941-4994, www.rei.com), with camping and backpacking supplies galore.
Downtown Renton
For a surprisingly complete selection of Western garb, be sure to tie up at the state’s largest cowboy shop, Renton Western Wear (724 S. 3rd, 425/255-3922 or 800/886-3922, www.rentonww.com). Antique lovers will have fun wandering through the downtown antique shops along Wells Avenue South near 3rd.
