Electronic suplus stores

[RFamateur]

Hi,

I've just recently started circuit design as a hobby and I'm looking for recommendations on electronic surplus stores.  Right now I'm interested in building power supplies and amplifiers, but I like to experiment with a variety of systems including transmitters and converters.  Anyway I'm having a hard time finding a good place online that sells parts.  This includes passive components, active components and pretty much any type of hardware.  I do know a few sites, but I'd like to hear other opinions. Also, I live in the Seattle area so if anyone knows any great stores besides Vetco and Fry's that would be very helpful!

Thanks
