Hey neighbor; I'm in the PDX area. I also <3 FreeGeek - they still have their PDX location... I used to meet the PLUG [Portland Linux Users Group] in one of their offices once a month - they do less public sales since covid, but I think they still sell online.

Its a bit of a drive, but we have a GREAT gem for retro computers [and other electronics] in RE-PC. Theres two locations; Tukwila, WA and Seattle, WA. The place is AWESOME; the one in Tukwila even has a cool vintage computing museum;
