Recommended camera stores in SEA?
We'll be in Seattle this weekend and my buddy is shopping for a D80
setup, looking to see what kind of deal he can get with our nice valuable Canuck bucks Can anyone recommend a good camera shop in the I-5 corridor (Seattle and northward) that we might check out? |

My favourite place is Kenmore Cameras (http://www.kcamera.com/) next to HW-522 in Kenmore, about 20 miles NE of Seattle at the top end of Lake Washington. jue |

Glazer's Camera Supply is good and has a wide inventory, although sometimes it seems like you are invisible to their staff. Be assertive. I have not been to Kenmore, but I hear the people are nice. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

I've used Glazer's a couple of times. They do have a lot of stuff, plus some used stuff. It feels like a really old camera store, too, like you're going to be able to pick up a tube of bellows oil there. Still smells filmy. |

If you want the best skyline shots, try going to Gasworks Park (bring a flashlight, it's pitch black at night): http://trupin.smugmug.com/popular/10...#94807542-A-LB Kerry Park is the canonical skyline shot: http://trupin.smugmug.com/gallery/824709#36824797 If you get a clear day, there's an amazing view of Rainier from Seward Park too: http://trupin.smugmug.com/gallery/824709#95607778 |

Particularly amazing when the city is already dark and the lights are coming on while the snow cap of Mt Rainier in the background is still hit by the sun and glowing in a deep pink. jue |

It feels like a really old camera store, too, like you're going to be able to pick up a tube of bellows oil there. Still smells filmy. Glazer's used to actually have a separate 'digital' store across the street. Now they've integrated into one. Also, next door is Ivey, which is pretty much the place in Seattle for serious film processing and printing. If you're a browser... There is one camera store which is a must-see. It's Jim's Used Cameras in the University district. Furthermore, if you're making it as far as Portland, you want to cross the threshhold of Blue Moon Camera And Machine. -- http://groups.google.com/group/seatt...780efda9a6edb4 |

Thanks for the sightseeing suggestions, too - I think I've done Chuckanut Drive to death Granted, I'm a little spoiled on scenery, living in the Vancouver area, but at least it's a change of pace |
