If you are not satisfied with run of the mill appliances that you see at the big box stores I'd recommend checking out Albert Lee. They've been in Seattle for decades now and the quality of their merchandise is always first rate. They have all the higher end appliance brands that you could be looking for. The prices are reasonable for the merchandise that you're buying - if you complain about the price you're in the wrong store! Also, their sales team are very skilled and know their product inside and out.
