[dorkbotsea-blabber] electronic component stores

[Mike Payson]

Vetco is goo, if a touch expensive and a fairly limited selection.
Alphatronics in Tukwila is similar I believe, though I haven't actually
visited them. Fry's in Renton carries a good selection, but it can be hard
to find what you need. Your best bet really is to buy online. It is annoying
to wait, but the prices are usually so much better that it is worth the wait
unless you just need one or two cheap items.
