The resource-efficient design more than doubles the retail space of the previous store, featuring recycled building materials, a 65-foot-tall (20 m) freestanding climbing pinnacle, mountain bike and boot test trails. An outdoor courtyard waterfall, recharged by stormwater runoff, is landscaped with native Northwest trees and vegetation.
