Any new stores in Vancouver city limits in the last year worth checking out? I'll be going up with my wife the weekend of July 9th for our wedding anniversary for dinner at Bin 941 and shopping. The only store I'm definitely hitting up for gaming is Book Off.
If you ever take a trip out to the Washington coast, there is an independently owned game shop in Aberdeen called Game Freaks. It's right off 105 as you come into town across from the shopping complex with Top Foods and Wal-mart. I didn't stop in, but it didn't look bad.
Game Town was recently robbed at gunpoint. It made the news on all the local channels. I've gone by it about a million times but never stopped in, though.
I hate bumping a year old thread, but I stumbled upon another locally owned game store in Seattle yesterday. It's called Game Gurus and is located in Lake City. They've been open since 2008, but I've never noticed the place before.
