I'm looking to nerd out on cameras in Portland and Seattle, suggestions?
I'm travelling to Portland and Seattle over the next week or so and looking for a camera store to pick up a new Fuji X100, but would also like to look around a few old camera stores with old used cameras and lenses, even vintage junk store stuff. Welcoming suggestions for either of the above.

Best answer: In Seattle there are precious few but in Seattle proper there's Glazer's Camera and, in the Kenmore suburb due a few miles northeast of downtown Seattle is Kenmore Camera.

I'd email Chase Jarvis... he might have some ideas. And hopefully you can get your hands on the x100 - its helped my 5DmkII gather dust lately.

Best answer: mmmmm, Blue Moon. Then pop down the block to James John for some snack and drink.

Fremont in Seattle has a ton of vintage/antique stores, many of which have collections of weird old cameras. Don't have any particular stores to recommend, though.
