I know you said Wallingford/Phinney/Fremont, but I couldn't resist
a plug for Northgate Plaza vet.  I was stunned the first time I
went there to get a bill for $27 for all my kitten's shots.

They make an effort to keep prices down, and I can honestly say
that I have been impressed with *all* of the docs in that clinic,
particularly Bob Shelley.

No, he didn't say he wanted to *dump* habeas corpus (and I was
er, all ears when I heard "habeas corpus reform" -- this is a
*grave* consitutional issue!).  Bush said he wanted reforms to 
limit the number of appeals for convicted criminals.

I can think of the perfect reform: abolish the death penalty. Then 
take those millions and millons of dollars saved in legal appeals
and maintain the prisons and the prisoners.

A freind of mine has a Subaru GL, and is looking to get it tuned as well
as determine the cause of a noise that gets worse as it accelerates. Since
the dealer quoted over $750 just for the tuneup, I suspect there may be a
better place to get this car fixed.

Any recomendations? 

Thanks,

My 2 cents, I also went to H.E.R. with my Gaggia.  They fixed it, but
while it was at the store the switch lites decided not to work.

We, the store (owner) and I came to the agreement, I pay for parts, 
they did the labor.  I was not completely happy.

I've been taking my felines to the Cat Clinic of Seattle for about 5 years
now.  It's a cats only practice, 3 vets.  All three love cats and are very
knowledgable.  Personality-wise, my favorite is Dr Demiere, although I
certainly don't hesitate to see one of the other 2 if she's not available.
I don't know how they compare price-wise to other clinics:  I know that if
you want a vet tech to give your cats their shots instead of the vet, it's
a lot cheaper.  I also really like their policies on hospitalized animals:
they encourage the owner to stop in to visit as often as possible.
They're in Wallingford on the corner of 39th and Stoneway, right across 39th
from Safeway.  Phone 633-1133.  They're pretty busy, so do phone a bit in
advance (although they'll take emergencies right away).
They're also open Saturday.

(They have several resident cats, as blood donors.  They used to have a
*wonderful*, 18 pound orange cat (who has since retired to the home of one
of the clinic staff), who liked to be petted, but generally didn't approach
people, they had to go to him.  One day when I was in the waiting room, he
jumped onto my lap and curled up, the first time he'd ever done that.  I was
thrilled, until the receptionist looked up and said, "Don't feel too honored,
you're sitting in his favorite chair".)

I am putting a bulk order in to the wholesale arm of Archie McPhee's
(yes, *that* Archies :). To meet the minimum order quantity, I need
some co-conspirators. If you (or you together with several of your
friends) want *large* numbers of something that's available there,
I would love to add you to this order; we will get a discount of 
up to 40% off retail in doing so.

*Do*not*repeat*do*not* respond if you only want one of something...
the wholesale arm doesn't work that way. As a *rough* guideline,
you need to come up with at least $35 (retail price) worth of
one item to order it at all. For example:

  - Glow-in-the-dark slugs...retail price 8/$5 (.40/each)...minimum
    wholesale order one gross @ $36 (.25/each)

  - Chili pepper lights (35)....retail price $17.50...minimum wholesale
    order 2 sets @ $23 ($11.50/set)

  - Plastic pink lawn flamingos....retail price $10/pair...minimum
    wholesale order 6 pair @ $45 ($7.50/pair)

Get the idea? Feel free to email me about quantities and prices on any
item you've seen in the store or in the Archie's catalog, but
please keep the above minimum in mind. (It would also help me if you
had the Archie McPhee item#, to, but it's not required.)

I will try to place the order next week, so let me know soon. And
remember...Halloween is coming up very soon....

I figured I'd post just so people who don't want to go to the trouble of
asking would know about Hawthorne Stereo in Bellevue. 

They're not big
and they don't have racks of the highest-end stuff (cello, Duntech, etc.)
but they have the best service and honesty you'll find in the area.
They also have the gift of being able to assemble some of the best sound
at a given price point. 

You can spend hours in their listening room
trying various combinations of equipment until you're completely satisfied.
Even after you've bought something, you can return it if you're not 
completely happy with it (within a reasonable period of time and in perfect
condition, of course). 

They are also very good about getting equipment
that you're interested in but which they don't normally carry.  And, as
a final bonus, they sell used gear and will give you a fair price for
your equipment (They offered me better than Blue Book on some gear I 
had for sale).


They even acted as an intermediary for me on a cross-country equipment
exchange with someone else on the Internet.  Service!

Of course, I'm not affiliated with them except as a satisfied customer.

You're right in that it seems reasonable compared to normal vet
prices -- but if you do it yourself it's much cheaper.  For instance
it costs me around $10/cat for everything (i.e., with feline leukemia
and FIP) including the syringe.

Unfortunately many business are pretty short-sighted on what real
costs.  They forget about hiring and training costs.  It's
difficult to put a value on employee loyalty.

It's also one thing to allow a liberal leave policy for
short-term emergencies (those which take a day or less), and
those that take more time.  The short-term problems can usually
be handled with minimal rescheduling and comp. time.  Longer term
leave may well require hiring and training additional people.
This can be a real problem for small business.
