Attero Arms is an Oregon FFL located right on the border with the Washington state. It takes 2.5-3 hours to get there from Seattle.
Hanguns must be transferred within your state of residence, but if you are buying an expensive long gun (above $700-800, run your own numbers) and your gas mileage allows it (or if you have a few friends to carpool with) it may be well worth a ride.
Their FFL transfer fee is currently $25, which is quite good considering what FFL dealers charge around Seattle.
Since they are in Oregon, they will not charge you the WA "use" tax (which can be hundreds of dollars). Of course, you will then be legally required to declare your purchase and pay the "use" tax to the state - just like we always do whenever we buy something from ebay or another online store.
The place is not really a "gunshop" (just like Dixie's BBQ in Bellevue is not really a restaurant, if you know what I mean). There is no sign or anything - it looks like a giant run-down hangar, you need to trust your GPS. Everything is perfectly legal - they will call the feds to run the background check, and they will fingerprint you.
The owner (forgot his name - Jesse?) is a great guy and a breeze to deal with. He may even come to the shop on Saturday/Sunday if that is the only time you can make the trip.
