They'll be open on Saturday this weekend. They have new and generally a good selection of used M and R equipment. Don't expect many bargains --- they sell mostly to pros, and they routinely send used bodies back to Leica USA for a CLA before reselling them, with a consequent bump in the price. I've bought a CL, an M4-2, and a lens or two over the years and haven't had any complaints. A few blocks east of Glazer's is Optechs (Fairview & Republican); phone is (206) 433-9900, and they're also open Saturdays. They are not Leica dealers per se, but occasionally have some used Leica equipment for sale; for the past month or so, they've had a decent-looking M4-P in the display case, asking (as I recall) about $1350 for it. Cameras West, at 4th & Virginia (much closer to downtown). Part of a local chain, they are an authorized Leica dealer, so they should have new gear -- haven't been in to check out their used offerings lately. They should be open Saturday, and perhaps Sunday as well. If you buy anything, be sure to bring proof of out-of-state residence so you can avoid the 8.3% sales tax.
