Tweets,
Here are the results from asking about local stores
that carry Spotting Scopes, compiled from about 20
respondents:

Anacortes Telescope
http://www.buytelescopes.com/
Concensus was that they had Best stock on hand, Good
place to look thru the scopes because you looked out
over the bay, but that their service might be a little
lacking.

Captain's Nautical Supplies Inc
2500 15th Avenue West, Seattle, WA 98119
(206) 283-7242
Good Selection, service maybe biased away from birding

Seattle Audubon Nature Shop
www.seattleaudubon.org
206 523-4483
8050 35th Ave. NE, Seattle, 98115
Got the most recomendations, best rated store in terms
of service(by far), but might not carry the upper end
scopes in stock.

Single mentions of Sportsman's Warehouse, SportCo in
Fife, and the Swarovski store in Bellvue Mall for an
expensive Swarovski ;)

Pricing between Seattle Audobon and Anacortes
Telescope seem to be about the same. I have not been
to Captain's yet.

For the Scope Brand survey, I am still accepting
recomendations, but the Leica 77 APO is currently in
the lead ;)

And Interest is pretty high for a Scope-a-Thon!
