I went in there once looking for a hair trap for my drain. When I asked the woman working there if they had any, she stared at me blankly, clueless. Had I asked where the Seattle-coffee-mug section was, I'm sure she would had been much more helpful.</p> http://seattlest.com/2006/03/13/another_hardware_store_bites_the_sawdust.php#comment-163048 http://seattlest.com/2006/03/13/another_hardware_store_bites_the_sawdust.php#comment-163048 Comments Mon, 13 Mar 2006 15:32:15 -0800 <p>Despite the name, "Rainier Hardware" at the Market hardly qualifies as a legitimate hardware store. Most of their stock-in-trade has for many years fallen into the "tacky tourist tchatke" category, and what few actual hardware items they do have on the shelves wouldn't fill a medium-sized "Snap-On" metal chest. Really, you can find a larger selection of hardware items at Rite Aide or Bartells. Although for most hardwarey-things you still need to drive to a Lowes or Home Depot, at least we still have Pacific Supply on 12th, and West Marine on Denny...</p>
