Birds Connect Seattle (the former Seattle Audubon) has a large selection of binoculars to choose from. They're probably your best bet in the city. https://birdsconnectsea.org/visit/

There are limited places that carry binocular here on the peninsula, but I have to take a friend to Swedish Cherry Hill for a procedure in early Sept. Since I'll have some time to spare, I wondered whether there is a shop anywhere in that general vicinity within easy walk or bus ride that would have inventory that I could try out for fit and function.
