Superior Seconds has been so busy since it opened in early April that owner Heather Maloney and her partner Geo Tamblyn haven’t had time to have a grand opening.

Superior Seconds, a consignment sports shop, carries only gently used sports gear and clothing.

Tamblyn, who is the  JV lacrosse coach at Issaquah High School, had heaps of personal goods, plus they were sourcing from Craigslist and garage sales to get the inventory going. Tamblyn played college lacrosse and was a competitive ski racer. Now, the space is filled up with gear consigned by customers.

Maloney owned a similar store called Stix Sport in Spokane which did very well. She sold it to move back to this side of the Cascades and open Superior Seconds.

Merchandise will change with the seasons, but right now there is plenty to choose from for summer. Golf clubs, gear for climbing or hiking, tents, BMX clothing, fishing gear and some brand new camping items are in stock now.

“We’ve been selling lots of bikes,” Tamblyn said.

Bike tune-ups and lacrosse head stringing are services offered, and when the ski season is upon us, the staff will be tuning up skis and snowboards.

He said as soon as they get croquet sets in they’re gone.

Maloney and Tamblyn have also started organizing summer hiking and biking trips for kids. Superior Seconds is also a supplier of gear bags from the Jensen Lee Company for the various high schools, which can be personalized. New jerseys for the various schools will be customized in-house with the school logo.

Mark your calendar for Oct.18 — 20 for the big winter gear swap featuring skis, snowboards, outerwear, boots, helmets, gloves, bindings, goggles, sleds, skates, snowshoes, ice climbing equipment, poles and more.

Tamblyn said he and Maloney also want to start an online business through ebay.

Superior Seconds is located at 96 Front St. South in the Downtown Issaquah Plaza. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, closed Wednesdays.

The merchandise at Superior Seconds will change with the seasons. Currently, water sports gear is in abundance such as this kayak and wet suit.
