Ive been here a lot of times, from tarps to knives to jackets to pants to backpacks they have high quality choices for good prices. Ive come here when i was homeless and they were just as friendly if not a little paranoid, nice good friendly people. Youll probably buy something if you come here to look around

Great mix of memorabilia and modern supplies. Very helpful and knowledge staff

A store with everything you need, super friendly staff and owner. Great spot for peepers or outdoorsmen and women! Also some good work clothing. Stop by! Some cool museum pieces as well

Nice stock. If you want a bag, I would recommend going here over the nearby Patagonia store. Employees are OK. One awkwardly followed us the entire time we were there, but not blatantly rude.

Absolutely love this place. i collect military uniforms and they have everything you need. nice staff, amazing prices and everything is amazing quality. definitely recommended visit if you are in Seattle and are interested in military/hiking stuff !!!!

Unfortenitly we didnt have much time and space. We bought last stuff for our camping trip and looked around. Great, wanted to buy loads but we just had one van for 8 :-) Next time for sure. This travelled with me and still lives comfortably and save in Germany

If your in Seattle and your out on the town you might miss the Military Surplus on 1st Ave. Near Have a Heart on Blanchard Street. Here is a place for those who love nature and natures uncertainties. You can buy a variety of gear that support Mammel Survival and find outside comforts and tools. One may need in a moments notice. Be prepared !And here youll find it. Just go in. Check in. And fly like an Eagle while the guest service is excellent. Enjoy yourself their.Dave

Fantastic selection of both new and used military surplus and camping gear. There’s great bargains to be found. The staff is more than helpful and willing to help you find what it is that you’re looking for. Ask for Max, the store owner he’s a good guy and he’s there to answer all your questions.

Fast and friendly staff, but hard to find parking for a quick pickup

Everybody is so super, they all deserve a raise

Found genuine double handle folding cup and a foldable frying pan/plate. Great quality goods for the price, friendly staff

Super friendly staff and a LOT of stuff. These guys have really inexpensive clothing and bags, and if youre going camping or are a college student, visit them!Bonus- if youre a Pokemon Go player, they have a water bottle strap on bag that can store a powerbank. You wont need a full bag to stay hydrated and connected, and I definitely recommend picking it up.

Seems like they got it all! Very helpful staff!

I used to shop there in the 90s and loved the selection. Ill be thru the area in a couple of months and dropping in to shop is on my list of things to do. 😁

There is so much stuff in here great for survival gear or camping. Looks great on the inside with loads of historical and vintage items. I could spend hours in here just wandering around looking at all the stuff inside.

Great selection. Friendly and helpful staff. I will return.

Federal Army & Navy Surplus is one great store for work clothes, surplus military clothing & supplies! This store has been here for decades & theyve yet to disappoint! Friendly knowledgeable staff, courteous & professional. I highly recommend Federal Army & Navy Surplus! Check it out. 👍

Cool shop with lots neat military goodies and memorabilia. Got an arctic tent there a couple years ago for a good deal.

This stores has them hard to find government issues camping goods

Went there for a MRE and found out they have alot of miscellaneous gear and clothing for any purpose

I came here to find some netting for a campsite and was not disappointed. They’ve got a wide range of clothing, supplies and miscellaneous items.

Lots of cool inventory for a fair price. Staff was helpful and kind. Id go back.

Probably the best surplus store I have ever seen

Very nice shop. All the staff I talked to were helpful, courteous and friendly. The owner is awesome so be nice as he has trouble hearing. Very clean and well organized. A little pricy depending on what youre looking for but Ill spend 5-10% more just to support local businesses. 6 out of 5 stars

Great selection of supplies. Great friendly staff. And really neat window art display.

I have spent a total of 40 minutes in this store and I feel that as many hours would be necessary in order to really take in every bit of memorabilia as well as all the surplus items, repros, supplies, etc.Definitely well worth poking your head in, even just to look around.

Lots of cool stuff, I couldve spent the whole day there..

Love this place they even have ben Davis next time Im in Seattle Ill be come through again

They had all the things I needed including some I didnt know I needed

Great store, great selection & prices. Really cool things to find & excellent service. 👍

Great selection and good prices on your survival gear needs. The staff are noligible.

Great people here, great selection!

You can find almost whatever you need here. Fuel, knives, jackets, shoes. Awesome staff and a great location. Check quality before purchasing.

I had a great experience. I went looking for 2 items and the sales person was very helpful

Good selection of various surplus-type stuff.

Not a HUGE facility, but certainly big enough - I walked out down $250 :-)Very friendly and helpful staff, good diversity of stuff for sale. I figure Ill be going back!

This place is excellent they have everything in their prices are not bad!Friendly people working there and the store is huge, be prepared because parking is not good!But it’s worth the trouble because they have everything in the store if you’re looking for camping in military supplies this is one of the best places to go like I say very difficult to park!

Wow! Awesome selection, great prices. Nice folks too.

No big deal but they charge ur debit as credit, so they need ID and a signature

Fair prices an a good selection of things .Will be back soon

They have basically anything you would have been issued at one point, decent deals here and I love to pick up some MREs

Great selection, and friendly staff.

Great little store - prices not too high. Bought couple pairs of pants.

Nice place to get some surplus and the people are very nice!

Need more hat wear!

A very very fun place to go and look around. Plenty of cool stuff there. Ammo cans, clothes, backpacks, MREs, canteens, and most anything else you could think of. Definitely will come back again. Fair prices too!

They have all sorts of interesting items. Especially if youre the outdoorsy type and need something like a bag, compass and a knife. Some items can be pricey (like Navy Pea coats) but others are a bargain.

Great store with amazing staff. Very nice display items, decent stock. Only reasons I gave four stars are its lack of accessibility, Seattle tax, and their stock is limited in some areas. For Seattle locals and tourists staying in the city, I would definitely recommend. Theres nothing objectively wrong with the store, just some environmental factors make it less convenient. Enjoyed my visit none the less.

Great supplies, good quality. Stock changes over time so if you see something, especially if its actually surplus stock, buy it. Many times Ive gone back for something only to find out its gone. Super friendly staff, fair prices. Aside from military surplus they also stock outdoors/camping/survival gear. Ive bought multiple pairs of great boots from these guys. Its also fun to just walk around and get an idea of what they stock.

The best army surplus store in all of WA maybe the whole west coast in my opinion. Huge selection, super solid staff and a parking lot very close by.

We go here to pick up coveralls for my husband. Its always fun to shop around and check out all the cool stuff they have. Nice staff too!

Very good

Great, well stocked surplus store with friendly, helpful staff.

Very helpful staff. We were looking for a particular boot my father in law used to wear and wanted after losing his, and they patiently assisted us while we relayed information back and forth to my in laws. They even made a recommendation from a competing website in the event they didnt have it—but they did so it worked out. Always a great place to find gear and surplus equipment.

Unfriendly staff and overpriced items

Great nostalgic items and vintages enjoyed my friend telling me about historical stuff at this store. Reminds me of my grandpa. This store has been around since I was a teen and younger.

Alot of good stuff

Very cool store. Everything you can imagine a Surplus store would have, plus a little more. Very cool authentic and historic items. Things you cant help but say I dont need this, but I NEED this. I could easily blow thousands of dollars here if I had the money to do it. Really, really cool. Helpful staff too! Pretty impressive. Parking can be a nightmare, so try to get there early. There is a small lot just north of the store that costs about $12 for an hour or two. Fills up quick!

Wonderful customer service. I represent a nonprofit, made a large purchase. Henry was awesome! He was very patient and understanding with our organization’s accounting dept, and steps needed to get a check to him. He made sure my order was on hold. He was even on vacation and still made sure I was taken care of.

Awesome products and awesome employees

Great store. Everything you might think of, they have it. I serve for a few year back in the days and it just brings me joy to go into this store. The vibe is amazing.

Always something unique to discover if you know what you’re looking at.

Visited 20 years and recently took my son there.. we enjoyed. They used to sell a lot more second hand military gear before.. but still interesting shop to visit and shop.

I really enjoy shopping here. They have an excellent selection of a large variety of items despite the small space. Their items are a very good mix of surplus to new items and their service is top-notch. Super friendly and very helpful. If youre looking for anything you might use outdoors hiking, hunting or other, give this place a go, theres always something new and they have some fun Not for Sale historical uniforms etc. that are fun to look at.

Im giving it a 5 star review because its the best option for reasonably priced camping and survival supplies in downtown Seattle. Im a retired military war veteran and I love the mix of authentic military gear combined with civilian options. The staff has always been great and I have visited dozens of times over the years and I have never had a bad time. If you have a budget they will show you the best option for either used or new without trying to get a upsale. Worth a visit and dont hesitate to ask for help with the decision to buy something. I have decades of experience and still find their advice useful. If you do they will help you out

The best store in town love it

I got a really nice Order of Lenin last year on this day. I came here again to get a East German shoulder bag today and it’s holding up really good

Luv surplus stores and this one is yuuge!! Lots of great merch along with some cool not for sale displays! Must visit if youre in town. Staff is great - friendly and ready to help find gear or answer questions.

Best military surplus store I have ever visited. The guys working there were very friendly and spent a lot of time to help me select a surplus helmet and showed me how to take it apart. They have good prices and a vast selection of both surplus gear and new camping/survival equipment.

Appreciate them!

I was looking at a really cool antique trunk, and an employee came up to tell me about the history of it, which was super cool! i got a union suit since my animal onesie is too small now. their ma1 jackets were a little cheaper than online too! will return for sure

Real disappointment coming here. Most everything that was actually unique was not for sale. Everything that was for sale was an insanely overpriced reproduction or anything real was incredibly expensive. Cashier I talked to knew basically nothing about the store, where anything was, or what any of the items were. They post photos of their unique vintage items in hopes you’ll come here but they really have nothing. Unless your a 5 minutes walk from here. Don’t come here.

Awesome shop full of everything you could need for camping, hiking, and collecting. The pricing on clothing is acceptable for the Seattle area, but the blades offered here are top-notch.I always swing by the blade table because of the enthusiasm from the staff.Worth the visit, even if you only want to browse. Theres something for everyone here.

Largest in seattle. These guys have everything. From cold weather jackets to military novelties. Bought 2 surplus jackets from them so far and theyve held up great.

Exceptional store and extremely exceptional service. The staff was eager to help and answer questions and really seemed to enjoy their jobs, which is rare in the retail world. I actually had a lot of fun just shopping here and look forward to going back. Although I had pretty specific items I was shopping for, looking around it seemed like they had a much better selection, both new and used, than what Ive seen at other military surplus stores.

Great place to find misc. military gear. 4/5 due to a lot of rothco stuff being sold, otherwise there is a lot of hidden gems. Genuine swiss blanket for $50 was great!

Great prices on high quality products. If you camp or own firearms this is your place to shop and enjoy the plethora of products. They really have EVERYTHING in stock!!!

Not just army gear.Got some great clothing from here. You can get army surplus stuff, street wear and yesteryear war stuff. Most at a reasonable price.Got a coat here, super warm and makes me look the toast of the town. Will be going back for a $4 hat, Seattle is cold in winter.

Friendly and interesting staff are always welcoming. Very good selection of supplies. Keep an eye out for pants with a hole in them... Its kind of a blessing in disguise because I got a pair for $5 with a hole

Staff can be very helpful, but most of their supplies are cheap knockoffs. Good if you dont care about authenticity, but you must sift through a bunch of BS to find good collectibles. Definitely worth checking out, just dont get too excited

Happy this store is still here. Its one of the last remaining sources for accessories and apparel that lasts. Buy something here and you wont have to replace it for many years (if ever). I remember when products were good like this. Now everything breaks so easily and its sad. Support this store!

The best army navy surplus store I have ever seen. They have some wild stuff. From a great tee shirt and sweater selection, to a wall covered in hundreds of fantastic patches and pins.They have a display case that runs the whole length of the shop full of knives and tools. Totally awesome.Theyve got bags, hardware, vintage jackets, backpacks, sleeping bags, boots. Even a whole wall of epic jackets and flight suits.So yourself a favor and go.

A little on the expensive side but thats Seattle for you. I am pleased with my gear! Plus they do dog tags there if thats your thing

The first Army Navy store worth telling people about! They have a great selection and a genuinely friendly staff that exudes a chill atmosphere. I can’t help but thinking the rainbow flag next to the marine corps flag is a nice touch.

Staff was so friendly and helpful! They took the time to answer questions about products, tell history if they knew it, share ideas and options. Store is clean and well organized. Will be going back, if I am in the area again.

This is the surplus store you have been searching for. It has just about everything you are looking for to stay warm, stay cool, go camping, and more. The staff is friendly, informative, and knowledgeable. There are cool decorations and other things to see that are not for sale. Parking can be a pain, but it is worth the hassles. Never disappointed.

Lots of interesting and reminiscent items to spark my imagination... it even helped me remember I needed another belt for my wardrobe. -g-

Great store! Lots of new and vintage options. Huge supply of coats, bags, boots, canteens, you name it. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wide range of prices. Nice options for rugged camping. Definitely worth checking out.

Great selection. Great customer service. Left them a note to call me if an item came in, 3 months later got a call saying they got it. Kept it aside for me, and was at a great price point.

One of the oldest family owner shops on Seattle. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Everything is easy to find. Prices are low and affordable for everything you may need. They have clothing, camping gear, climbing ropes, and memorabilia.

Must go to weekend brunches! Reserve a seat by the window with a beautiful view of Seattle.The Buffett is so beautiful and more then you cold have imagined. You will wish you could try everything, but it is impossible, because you will clear your plate every time. The food is just that good... Enjoy!

Great prices, huge selection. Workers are also great to talk to and helpful.

Some items are great value, but other can be quite pricey on 2nd visit, hard to find parking. The older staffs are quite good and helpful like Tom and the older man with the headscarf. The younger Asian guy tend to be quite rude when you ask some question regarding pricing at the trouser section. Overall mixed customer services among staffs, but shop have some useful items at good price.

I love this place, and come here every time Im in Seattle! Its fun to walk throught this store and see all the history it contains, so many war items are contained under this one roof, its quite a marvel! Did I also mention how funny the staff are?

I went here with my friends for a last minute cosplay. When we had questions, their very knowledgeable staff was right there to help with all of our needs. There was anything and everything you could need or want.

I needed to find proper officer clothing for a burial/funeral for an in-law. Staff was helpful & glad to help. When I picked the clothing up, I found a great spork to use for my work lunches.

Excellent store to visit and shop. There should be a store parking validation. If you cant find any parking on the street the parking lot which is next door to the store, the rates are OUTRAGEOUS, 0-2 hours the cost is $12. Thats just ridiculous, mainly if you may be going to the store to return a item for a different size. The parking lot is a big RIP OFF.

Wide assortment of stuff, both practical and funky. Really nice people too.

Great place, a seattle classic. You can learn a lot from a visit.... either discover new items or get basics filled out. Sweet jackets, t shirts, hats, gear, flags, fake hands grenades, bayonets, compasses, knives, flight suits, hammocks, rope or you name it under the sun. This place been a neighborhood constant, solid for many many years... please visit so that our can stay there in perpetuity.

Patriotic employees, historical artifacts. For the current service member, there is only moderate value at best. However for the former service members, for military historians, for Patriots and fans of our military, there is tons of Novel items and memorabilia to make you feel closer to soldiers and help you on our America.
