I'd say forget about Talls.  They don't do used at all for all intents and
purposes.  Ken's is a remote possibility.  And, Mike, one of their stores is
up in Burlington.  Or Mt. Vernon, one of the two.  Closer to you at any
rate.
And, the store you mention in Auburn used to have a fairly nice selection of
Oly, but basically ditched it all when Oly said sayonara to 35mm SLR.

Three old Camera's West stores still dabble in used as well.  Downtown
Seattle (fourth avenue, just North of the old Bon store), Bellevue (NE 20th
between 140th and 148th), and Southcenter (Tukwila).  Some of my best scores
were actually obtained at the Bellevue store (OM3, BG2 w/T32, 2X-A, 85~250
zoom).  I believe the total for the items I got there is still under $500. 

If I'm in the vicinity of any of the above I'll be happy to pop in and check
for you.
