I’m here to deliver a Nelson bench and an eames lounge + Otto.
gregs is nice but doesn’t really have anything for us.
anyone got a recommendation?
even a community cycle shop has treasures.

Not exactly Seattle, but a short (30 minutes) ferry ride from downtown Seattle, and a twenty minute walk on the other side will take you to Classic Cycles on Bainbridge Island. In addition to a bike shop, it's also a museum of classic bikes. Well worth the visit if you can afford the time. And the ferry ride gives you a pretty awesome view of Seattle from the water.

I have to say, the Recyclery did not disappoint.
I found a vintage water bottle cage that I had seen on eBay for $100 and they had it for 10. Not to mention a $10 campy front derailer. And a couple seat posts I can practice by dremel work on and not be frightened of destroying cycling artifacts.
Thank you for the quick and kind responses.

I'd also put in a recommendation for Bike Works. Many used parts of various vintages. Every other week (or at least once a month) Warehouse Sales. Bikes and parts get donated to them and it is incredible what does get donated. Everything from new and unused, to rare bikes, to normal bikes, to bikes that are definitely donation fodder at best. The number of custom Ericksons and Rodriguez's that roll through are astounding. Bikes and components range in condition from nice to rough, with an average condition that is less than Recycled Cycles, but their prices are lower by enough to make it worth rummaging through the bins. These places are my 1-2 punch for finding bikes, components, and small weird pieces that are critical to a build.

There are some coop around as well. In Seattle there is The Bikery, if you are to go north 20 minutes there is one in Everett The Sharing Wheels, and further north to Bellingham there is The Hub. Then there is a place south of town it's CCR? The center for cycle repair or something similar, I've never been to that one.
