New West Seattle business: Second Gear Sports in Morgan Junction

Another new business is on the way to Morgan Junction. The space that opened when Aaron’s Bicycle Repair moved to White Center is being split in two, and one of the spaces will become Second Gear Sports, which bills itself as “West Seattle’s first sports/recreation consignment store … offering “high-quality, gently used sports/recreation gear.” West Seattle resident Mark Bremen is the owner; they’re hoping for a soft open around September 1st, and a grand opening later in the month. The official address will be 6529 California SW. In addition to consignment drop-offs at the storefront, they’re working on other logistics for “acquisitions” – stand by for an update on that.

    Is this affiliated with Second Gear in the U District ? If so…very nice people and great deals on all sorts of sports gear.

      Smokey – don’t think so. Looks like there’s a “Second Base” in the U District, though. “Second” would of course be a popular word for the consignment biz :) – TR

    I was hoping that Mountains to Sound would fill this niche when they opened up. I’m glad that someone else is seeing the opportunity and moving in. I’ll definitely be spending time and money there.
