there are several stores in the area selling hardware in a pinch. unfortunately, none of them are really within walking distance of the space. if you need something quick for a project, here are some ideas for where to go:

Best Buy

  • sells most general consumer tech items
  • in the northgate north shopping center, north of northeast northgate way and west of 5th ave NE
  • all new, overpriced monopolism bs
  • near northgate station (take the 1 line north towards lynwood) then walk, or take the 75 for a direct but slow ride

Target

  • same complex as best buy
  • in the northgate north shopping center, north of northeast northgate way and west of 5th ave NE
  • sells cheaper shit then best buy but some of it might not work
  • less selection than best buy
  • near northgate station (take the 1 line north towards lynwood) then walk, or take the 75 for a direct but slow ride

RE-PC

  • two locations: a closer one by stadium station (south of downtown, take the 1 line south towards angle lake), and a further one in tukwila (by southcenter mall)
  • sells used tech and surplus
  • probably has the cable you need
  • you can call them to ask them if they have something, seattle location (206) 623-9151 or tukwila location (206) 575-8737

Guitar Center

  • closest store on this list
  • only hardware sold is audio/MIDI gear
  • sometimes has some good used deals, but required to keep used items for a while before selling them
  • technically within walking distance if you're fast
  • near roosevelt station (take the 1 line north towards lynwood)
