I've been there once specifically to listen to Vandersteen Treo's. They were more than welcoming and assured an excellent listening experience. Will be my first call when I have the funds to make that move.
VANDERSTEEN dealer in Tacoma WA has reopened under new ownership
HIGH NOTE AUDIO is now the Vandersteen dealer (and Audio Research, Rega, Audioquest, and other brands too) in Tacoma, WA.
It was formerly Advanced Audio, owned by Definitive out of Seattle, and closed shop briefly a few months ago. Victor Prinsen was one of two main guys at the old store, and has reopened the shop in the same location. He hopes to have a grand reopening soon. He is also looking for some good help. Victor is a good fellow (cheerful, helpful, and patient), and I have bought speakers and a CD player from him and hope to spend more money soon!
I was amazed that for short time it seemed that the closest Vandersteen dealer in the PacNW to Seattle would be Portland OR, with none in Seattle.
