Music equipment of the Pacific Northwest

Over the last half-year I've discovered that there's a fair number of music equipment manufacturers in the Pacific Northwest -- some of them directly in the Seattle area.

A shame that I didn't know this back when I was temp-ing, or I would've tried to get hooked up with them folks: much more useful (to me) employee discounts than working at a clothing store, a hospital billing department, or a sun-protective clothing mail-order place.
