Looking for rigging shop Seattle

My baby stay is in need of replacement.  I'm looking for recommended riggers in Seattle proper.  My thought was to simply remove the stay and bring it in the shop and have them make a new one and I'd install it. 
Any referrals are greatly appreciated.

I've dealt with Brian Toss, up in Port Townsend, but that is probably a bit out of the way for you. :)

I'd prefer not to go up to Brion Toss or to Port Townsend rigging.  It should be a simple job, but hoping someone knows of a good rigger in town.  Thanks for the response though.

If you can remove it, you can probably just mail it to someone.

Having had small interaction with B Toss, I'd bet you could call them up and ask who they would recommend down your way. Also/or - poke around the Brion Toss website to see if he either has a directory of/for riggers, or something like a contributed article from a rigger in your area.

Just some ideas, hope they help.

D'oh!  Didn't even think of just mailing it to someone.  Good idea.  I'll poke around, I know of some in town riggers, just hoping someone could recommend someone that they've dealt with.

I know a good rigging shop that does a lot of mail order work if you're not able to find one that you trust locally.  Rigging Only, at www.riggingonly.com , out of Fairhaven, Mass is a good shop and does excellent work at a decent price.

Adrift-
Thanks for the referral.  I think I'll find someone in town that can do it with a quick turnaround, it's only the baby stay so it should be fairly quick and easy.  It's just starting to get nice here in the PNW and I'm really looking forward to sailing without pretending that I'm not cold.  I don't want to be down even a day!
