Indie game stores in the Northwest

[heyricochet]

Specifically Hillsboro Oregon(near Portland), or anything in Seattle. I'm going out there to visit my brother this week and I'm hoping I might find a colecovision and other old video game stuff while I'm out there. Can anyone point me towards any game stores out there that have older systems?

I spent some time in that area recently, and, while I didn't have any time for shopping, I did notice a great abundance of indie game stores. It may be a false observation, but gaming seems more popular in the northwest than the midwest.

There are a few flea markets and tons of pawn shops and thrift stores. They are a waste of time unless you are looking for $5 Genesis sports games. If anyone knows of anything else add it to this thread.
