I'm going to be in Seattle for about a week and a half starting next Tuesday and would love to hit up some west coast shops.

Not as interested in places that OVERcharge, but I fully expect not to find 'deals' at a store dedicated to this hobby of ours. Anyone know of any places they recommend?

I've been to Seattle a couple times in the last couple years and I discovered that Pink Gorilla is pretty cool, and it's the only place I've ever seen PCE games for sale in the wild. They've also got pretty decent prices based on my experience, but it depends on what you're looking for.

They've got a shop in the International District, which is also home to a huge Japanese supermarket called Uwajimaya, and is neat to browse through if you're into Japanese culture.

Another neat thing (while not a place to buy stuff) to do if you're in the International Disctrict is the Seattle Pinball Museum. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Seattle-Pinball-Museum/131237786915560

I went by last time I was in the area and had a blast.
