Any good vintage audio stores in WA?

We're planning a little road trip down to Washington State (as far south as Seattle) tomorrow, and I was wondering if anyone on here has any recommendations...

Are there any good vintage audio stores in Seattle, or points north of the city? I'd be looking for speakers, and select audio components (specifically a nice ES series Sony CD player).

Maybe some WA residents can chime in.

Hawthorne Stereo

Seattle, Washington 98115

This is the only place I know of... They have a pretty good selection of classic gear, but you will have to pay their prices, which isn't toooo bad.


I live and work out of state now, but everytime I make it back home, I always check them out since their stock is always changing.

If you're into old vinyle, google "Jive Time Records."

I like Jive Time a lot, but if you like Vinyl and like to dig through tons of it Bop Street in Ballard is the way to go.
 
Thanks!

I will check out Hawthorne Stereo. I've been looking for a nice, vintage Sony ES series cd player to go with my TA-N77ES/TA-E77ESD combo. Maybe I will get lucky!
 
WHOA what about our own AK member Tarior's brick and motor used Stereo and repair shop in Kelso WA.

The Speaker Magnate

Aurthurs phone number may have changed so PM him through AK for details.

I have had him do work for me on both refoaming woofers and completely restoring a Pioneer SA-9100 and his work is outstanding.
