35th North

My boyfriend and I always see something here that he wants to buy (right now he’s waiting on some shoes to arrive in his size). The dudes here are friendly and the service is good. We love where it’s at because it’s located next to a bunch of other great places in Cap Hill as well. Sometimes parking is difficult to find (as it is anywhere near here) but it’s a quick walk past all the burnouts who live on the street corner and you’re there.

Great shop loved that they had such a variety of brands. The staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed seeing all the skater owned brands and not the crap that is sold at mall skate shops like zumiez. Good deals and great place to support real skating!

This is an incredible skate shop. Their gear is top notch and they’re always stocked with decks, wheels, trucks, and clothing. The employees there are super rad and they’re willing to answer any of your skateboard related questions. For anything skate related, you should definitely check this place out!

This is my go-​to skate shop. They always have the gear I need, whether it’s a new deck, shoes, or anything else really. Their clothing supply is also pretty sick. The employees are really nice and helpful. This store is a great representative of the Seattle skate scene.

These guys saved Christmas and made me cool Auntie Beck!
My niece is 12, a bit rugged and really active with her scooter, bike, and unicycle. It seemed a skateboard would be a fun next adventure.
I never skated as a kid, so my knowledge is limited. I did some Internet research and decided on a deck that seemed cool, age appropriate and in a colour she liked. With that info one of the guys at 35^th North started building her new skateboard. On Christmas Eve too!
He asked me a few questions about my preferences; I don’t know too much, so I told him to make it however he would do it for his niece. He was so sweet and explained everything to me. He really got into building it for her; told me the deck was designed by a skater from Washington and the wheels were really good and any pro would be happy on the board.
My niece didn’t actually ask for a board & I didn’t ask her, so I was nervous. It was the hit of Christmas morning! If she wasn’t sitting on it opening gifts she was learning the basics on the livingroom carpet and telling everyone about its local origins!
It is still a huge hit!
Every time I go to her house she rides up to me and shows me what she’s learned. The guys even have us some great tips on girl skate groups & a skate camp.
The staff at 35^th North are amazing. Really friendly, totally know what they are doing and seem to enjoy thier jobs. Next time my niece is in the city I’m taking her to meet the guy who made her first board.
Well done!!!

Sick shop. Friendly staff.

Nice lil skate shoppe! Good selection of local tee’s and boards. Pretty standard skate hardware, also had pro-​tec knee pads.
They have a large selection of shoes, Shirts and jeans. Friendly and helpful guys working behind the counter!

simply put: sneakers, t-​shirts, caps, beanies, collectables, skate decks, skate gear, magazines, dvd’s, etc.
how this translates to a GIRL: cute boy central!!!
seriously, though. if you’re looking to shop with your man– this is the spot. from cool t-​shirts (even Seattle-​tourist kinds) to the newest skate shoes– 35^th North has always been the best place to shop. i’ve been coming here since high school and it never disappoints!

Love this place. Just bought a setup for my 7 year old for Christmas. Staff is super-​mellow and courteous. We came back for a helmet fitting and again with the niceness! I will continue to give these guys my business for all kids’ skating needs.

Super friendly service! The shop’s a little on the small side but they have some great brands that I’ve never seen anywhere else. They also have some amazing art on the walls and the guy behind the counter talked with me in length about them and the artist. I wish I knew who he was as I’d love to have some pieces shipped to me in Vegas.
Cool clothing, nice custom decks and great customer service!

Recently went again to the 35^th north. I originally wanted one pair of dunks but went to return them and got another pair instead. The staff is on point super cool and that is good. Customer service is super important to me especially when it comes to streetwear fashion/​skate shops. In seattle there really is not many spots and the ones I have been to I was disappointed with. Not here though. In a week or two I will be back! Found myself a new spot to get my sneakers!

I am such a fan of the art shows they do. The skate decks for the artists they feature are amazing. 2 of my faves? Sua and Rain.
Definitely the cool guys on the hill, thank you!

Will and I went here to finally get his shoes.
I was wearing an Abercrombie sweatshirt and a designer jeans so I didn’t exactly feel like my sense of fashion belonged here but I felt like I fit right in when I walked in here.
The shoes selection was pretty nice. I love the mural on the bottom of the shoe display. I could identify every one of the prints. Vans, Dunks, Superstars and Chucks.
I sat on the comfy car seat and the store manager? ‘s dog came up and sat next to me, he was so cute! While Will went to look at more shoes and pay, the dog kept me company and I really didn’t want to leave it.
Will found his comfy shoes and off we went… leaving the dog :(

This place is the best skate shop in Seattle. I love the local feel of the place and helping suport local skate culture. They have some of the best shop decks around for cheep and just about anything else a great skate shop should have. Just sitting in there talking to the helpful staff is a great way to kill some time. They have a great shoe selection and carry great brands such a Manik.

Are you a sneaker pimp? Yeah — me neither! But my boyfriend is!
Yesterday we went on a quick shopping spree to find some new tennis shoes. To me all Adidas look alike. To him weird details like the color of the stripes, the color of the sole, and even the thickness of the suede mean a lot of things. Hrmm. ok!
We walked in and he was ready to throw down some serious cash on a pair of Adidas. I looked at them and said, «I had a pair like that in junior high!» He quickly corrected me and informed me that this shoe is brand new and has never existed before last month. He proceeded to try the shoe on and speak to one of the sales guys there about this fancy shoe. They didn’t have his specific size but the guy offered to make a phone call and see if he could bring the right pair in.
After a few minutes on the phone (while I was petting a dog that was wandering around the shop) the guy returned and informed us that we could go back today and get the shoes in the correct size. We’re headed there now! The price was right, they called and got the right shoe size, and had it brought over from another location. How handy! It was really a pleasure shopping here and they went the extra mile to offer great customer service.
Oh — I also learned that next month this shoe will be available in BLUE. For a limited time only! Lucky me.
PS — If you’re not into shoes they also have skate decks, clothes, and accessories. It’s a great little store.

Great experience! Got a board set up for my daughter who really wanted to learn but her old Target special was givin’ her so much grief. Us being newbies, were treated very well. Great selection, but no overselling by any means. She loves her board! Had to break it in that night, and she was smooth ridin’ first time out on it. Our guy was so patient with all our questions and really listened so he could put together something she could ride almost anywhere. And now she does! 35^th North Rocks!

Great service and not pushy to make the sell. Nice guys.
They helped my daughter pick out a great board she likes and that will work for her for a long time.

35^th south is always a stop when i am on the hill.
they are super friendly staff and they have a huge seletion of clothes compared to the other skate shops in the area.
they even have womens clothes upstairs.
good prices on tees and shoes

This is an amazing skateshop.
They carry plenty of Brands (one of the only shops up here that carries upper playground) such as Nike SB. Vans Premium and Sundicate, as well as DVS, DC, Lakai, Manik. Even with all of this, they are somehow able leave the pretentiousness of other shops behind. It is the quentesential NW skateshop. Good people. Good prices. Local.

For anything skateboard related, buy it here. I’ve known the people that own and work at this place for years and they are all great. You’ll find skateboards galore, a killer selection of shoes (including collector’s Nikes), lot’s of apparel, even a women’s section upstairs.
If you are in the Capitol Hill neighborhood you should stop by at least for a looksie.
