Does anyone know of plans for a Washington location?

Signed up to ++++++1 this up post. WA State needs a Micro Center. I am tired of giving my monies to Amazon for PC parts!

Another account made to bump this post! Live in WA state and would LOVE a Microcenter within road trip distance that isn't 16 hours away lol

Chiming in on the same thing - I recently moved from MA where I had a Micro Center store just an hour and half away from me in up in Cambridge to WA where I was, honestly, pretty annoyed at the tech store variety (or lack thereof) and saddened to know that after doing a quick lookup, that there is no Micro Center location ANYWHERE near me. I'm on board with everyone in this thread and genuinely think that there's a HUGE missed opportunity if MC doesn't build a location in the PNW region. Seattle would be absolutely prime but honestly, I think a Micro Center store would do fantastically well no matter the location up here, just for the sole fact that there'd ACTUALLY be a store location near by.

+1 definitely need a Micro Center in the Pacific Northwest. Please!

They just built one in charlotte NC but wont build one in Portland OR or Seattle Wa come on ive been waiting for years for this to happen.
I shouldnt have to take a trip to Tustin Ca just to get parts.

Just popping in to say YES to this idea. Would love to shop at Micro Center. I recently built a new system. Even considered making the drive to a Micro Center to purchase all the parts. My closest options were Tustin or Denver. Would have been at least a 2 day trip either way. With a shop closer to home I would be making trips there more often for the little things that come up that I need. Really hoping that the Pacific Northwest is on the short list of getting a store soon. Would give a large number of people some place to get their PC hardware. Or to just be able to see the hardware and get an idea just how it looks or how big it is.

Echoing the sentiment here. So much need for a local pc component store that isn’t out of stock for primary components. Since Fry’s is dead there are no local options for this sort of purchase. I miss driving 1.5 hours to the store in Overland Park to do a system
build in a day.

Created an account just to voice my support for a Washington state location. I'm uncertain why it hasn't been done already with such a high demand.

Thank you all for all of the support! It’s definitely been one of our top-requested locations. We’ll let our real estate team know!

Made an account to chime in with a HARD +1.

The PNW needs a Micro Center, it's ripe for a fleshed out tech store of the likes.

Seattle would probably be a terrible place for the store, due to cost etc. But there are plenty of smaller cities that can easily house the store and are sort of 'hubs' that connect and intersect with the routes to the large cities. Puyallup is one I would think could work very well and have a few LARGE locations that are husks (generally used by Spirit Halloween each year). Puyallup is relatively close to everything, sort of a middle point from Olympia to Seattle and right by Tacoma etc. About 2 hours from Portland, so you get a decent PNW coverage.

Love seeing the expansions of MC in the last years, can only hope for some PNW love seeing how it's a relatively large 'tech hub'.

made an account just to plus one this! As others have said, there are so many tech people, all with a bunch of cash in Seattle who a bet would love a microcenter and give it quite good business!

I'd drive to Seattle from Portland for a Microcenter.

Going to poke our real estate team again for guys here! Love the support for Micro Center!

We for sure need more locations on the west coast!

I'm another guy who made an account just to add a +1 to this (I may be a little late to this party though) Quick edit: I may not be late. I looked at the initial question date of 2022, but it's still going.

Another person here to +1, I ended up just finishing my pc but got my wallet seriously gouged by overcharging online vendors, would love a Microcenter anywhere in the PNW. An actual nearby location for my future affordable computer part needs would change my life.

Please bring Microcenter to Seattle or a nearby city - I need it :)
