Item 1.01.              Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 2, 2006, Zumiez Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with Merrill Creek Center, LLC (the “Landlord”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to expand its existing lease for an aggregate of 87,350 square feet of home office and distribution center space located at 6300 Merrill Creek Parkway, Everett, Washington by 37,350 square feet, bringing the aggregate square footage leased to 124,700 square feet effective January 1, 2007.  The Lease Agreement terminates and replaces the current lease with the Landlord.

The Lease Agreement provides for an initial lease term of 126 months with the Company having an option to extend the lease term for an additional period of five years.  The Company will pay the Landlord, on a triple net basis, fixed minimum monthly rate according to the following schedule:  $33,648.00 (month 1); $38,346.00 (months 2-6); $61,503.00 (months 7-13); $62,557.52 (months 14-18); $63,136.44 (months 19-25); $64,219.95 (months 26-30); $64,813.35 (months 31-37); $65,926.66 (months 38-42); $66,534.90 (months 43-49); $67,678.82 (months 50-54); $68,302.26 (months 55-61); $69,477.65 (months 62-66); and thereafter at annual 2.66% increases (months 67-126).  If the Company elects to extend the lease term for an additional 5 year term, then the rent will be based on a fair market value rent.  The Landlord has agreed to provide the Company with a $65,000 tenant improvement allowance to upgrade the 37,350 square feet of new leased space.

The foregoing description of the Lease Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this current report as Exhibit 10.13.
