Zach,

I don't remember the names of the places, but I seem to remember that in
northern Seattle along Aurora there are two or three places, including
Campbell-Nelson. Being as I live in Texas, I don't drive down that section
of Aurora very often, so maybe one of the Seattle list members could give
you a hand here.

Have you tried checking with Chris DeLong?

Cheers,
Bruce
