Plus 1 on Freerange ( in Fremont - they sell Riv/Rawlands and Ocean Air and hosted Grant during the Just Ride tour), My daily shop is R&E (U Dist) and Tre builds some great wheels. Counterbalance in U dist is also good. Brian there was at R&E and owns a Ram. I also like Polka-dot Jersey down in Leschi who always have interesting bikes in their repair section. They seem to have a good handle on custom tweaks (setting up lights, fenders, brackets, etc). Elliott Bay down in Pike Place market is considered the gold standard - home of Bill Davidson and all the amazing bikes he has built over the years, Not an easy location for me, a little pricey and can take forever to get your rig back. Montlake strikes me more as a commuter shop. When I stopped in they didn't seem to know much about Rivs and didn't quite speak steel.
