There's Fry's (not much in that respect, though), Radar
Electronics is in Bothell, and a mere shadow of their
former self.

There were Active Electronics and a surplus shop next to
each other in Bellevue; Active closed this year (2 days before
I went there, arggghhh!!); the other one supposedly moved,
but I couldn't find them. Anyone happen to know their new
address?
That's Vetco. Last I checked, (this spring), they're inside the Fred
Meyer store up on top of the hill. 148th NE and NE 20th (a.k.a. Northup
Way). Bellevue.

Another place that I haven't seen mentioned in these (multi-posted)
threads yet. House of Science, in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle,
is supposed to be (according to a thread in rec.radio.amateur.homebrew)
a spin off from the Radar move. At NW 8th and 49th NW.

I've not been there yet, but it was written up in a Seattle Times
article (featuring a picture of newsgroup regular Bill Beatty) on the
local extreme science group. (Bloody idiots. They make you register
for searches now. So I don't want to spend the time to dig up a URL
that people can't get to without jumping through the hoops). Anyway,
it should be in the Local News section on Sept 13, 2003, if anybody
really wants to see what he looks like. http://www.seattletimes.com
