Wade's Eastside Guns

About Wade’s Eastside Gun Shop:
Soon after graduation from Pacific Lutheran University in 1988, I began my career in the firearms business. Starting with only $300 and investing a huge amount of work, I slowly built up enough inventory over the next couple years to open Wade’s Eastside Gun Shop in a small, 500 square foot retail space on NE 8th in Bellevue, Washington.
I still have many customers from that time who remember buying, selling, and trading all kinds of firearms with me. I soon began shooting seriously and getting training from local and nationally recognized firearms trainers. I had learned marksmanship and, more importantly, firearms safety from my grandfather but I wanted to expand my shooting skills to a higher level.
From the start, I wanted to share my love of firearms and the shooting sports with other people, not just friends and family, but everyday people who were interested in firearms but didn’t know where to start.
