You are the second new person from the South Sound in as many days here on amiga.org!  Maybe you guys need a user's group! :)

In your Amiga "prime', you didn't happen to see an Amiga 1000 with a bunch of holes drilled into the top, did you?

I remember Nibbles n' Bytes in Tacoma.  I was going there once and told someone, and they asked what kind of dog I was getting. :)

Remember Zipperware?  They held on the longest AFAIK.

How about Omni International?  Southcenter had 5 stores:
Techstar, Software Centre, Software Pipeline, rental store (can't remember name) and one more I can't remember.
Familiy Computers in Factoria was great.  They had Digiview setups you could rent by the hour.

One store at Thrashers corner in N Seattle held on for a real long time.  Can't quite remember the name.

I think the first Amiga dealer in the PNW was in Kent!  I can't remember thier name either just now.  They were out of Amiga due to the 1.1 fiasco very early on.

I also went to die-hard Atari dealers Butler's Computer and Allen Sound, both on Hwy 99 in Federal Way.
