SEATTLE-The locally based Recreational Equipment Inc. officially will open its doors to two South Sound stores — one in Tacoma and one in Tukwila — Nov. 22.

The Tacoma store will be housed in the Rainier Place Shopping center, at the intersection of Interstate 5 and 38th Street near the Tacoma Mall. The Southcenter site is at the corner of Andover Park W. and Strander Boulevard across from Westfield Shoppingtown Southcenter Mall. REI currently has seven stores in Washington State in Seattle, Bellingham, Lynwood, Redmond, Federal Way, Spokane and Kennewick.

“Tacoma and Southcenter are great locations that will provide additional convenience to our customers south of Seattle,” says REI Vice President for Real Estate Jerry Chevassus. “We are particularly pleased with moving into Tacoma. Our members there have long requested an REI store for Tacoma. It will also serve people on the Kitsap Peninsula.”
