Karen at Ardesson's has been fixing my pack for decades. She's good. She's fast. Lakewood.

Garment alterations: Alterations Unlimited. JoAnn. Fircrest. 253 565 6636
(she's replacing the zipper in a parka and taking in the waist on those fancy-schmantzy new pants of mine .)
probably too far if you're way up north.

Rainy Pass on Stone Way in Wallingford has seen business from me a few times and I have been happy with the results. Gotta admit though, I probably keep going back because it's 2 blocks from my house. These were gear related repairs, not clothing (pack, tent, and sleeping bag).
Pack repair was a top-pouch zipper. Final product was way better than the original and only set me back $40.
I have seen their handy work on a down jacket repair and that was pretty good, esp. considering the initial damage done.

Carol at Sewing Specialties, 206 818 0870. She is the local person for all Patagonia repairs. She used to have the shop in Fremont (Northwest Garment and Gear). She can repair clothing, packs, tents etc. Been going to her for years, does a great job.
Rainy Pass will charge 2-3x what Carol charges.

Luving my new Sailrite LSZ-1 sewing machine, industrial capability in a compact machine, walking foot, currently set up with V-92 thread and #22 needle! Game changer for lots of my projects. Great compliment to my light duty Pfaff IDT machine. Plan to make a DIY yurt with my bud.
