Pacific Supply

Conveniently located in the heart of Capitol Hill, Pacific Supply has come to my rescue numerous times with many home projects I have taken on over the years. The selection obviously isn't as large as what you'd find at a big box hardware store, but usually has what you need, including quality tools, a great paint selection, all types of lighting and bulbs, different types of wood, all sorts of plumbing fixtures, and all the other screws, nails, nuts and bolts you need to complete any building project or home repairs. The staff is friendly and always available-- plus, you don't have to aimlessly walk all around the store just to find someone for assistance (unlike those big box stores, who are helpful about 25% of the time).
