Hello Michael,
New to the US, Seattle based. I'm looking for either an online or local
supplier of eletcronic supplies, wire, pcb, resistors, ics etc etc
Welcome to the US. The online stores have been pretty well listed. Don't
forget to look around your local area. Ask a few ham radio operators
where they go when they need a 74HC14 right now. I was surprised to find
a surplus store here in Sacramento. Still a 40+ mile drive for me but if
I can't wait until tomorrow it's a deal. Just don't look when some of
them bag the parts. ESD compliance isn't always their forte, makes your
neck hairs stand up.
For tools there used to be Radar Electronics in Bothell (where my first
employer is located). Then there was Vetco in Bellevue. Maybe Seattle
has some as well, could be nicely combined with a pint of Ballard's
Bitter in a pub. Oh, do I miss that...
In Bellevue there is a huge pub with IIRC over 100 beers on tap. Tap
House Grill or something like that, not far from the Red Lion Hotel.
