The storefront at 1080 West Ewing Street is central to Fisherman’s Terminal, Lake Union, Elliott Bay and Shilshole Bay Marina by road.
Redden’s 7,000 square-foot retail store is open to the general public and there is an open-air distribution center that provides an impressive display of the working side of the marine business. There will be more than 20,000 consistently in-stock items, withmore than 50,000 high-quality marine supply items available through reddenmarine.com.
