Default Seattle Corvette Repair shops

Hey y'all, can anyone recommend a reputable quality shop in the Seattle area? I just moved temporarily from Dallas, ( Hook'em Horns!) and need several things done-
Headliner
Power steering pump
DS seat reupholstered
Tranny synchros
Full body paint
I don't plan on doing it all at once and I realize it won't be done under one roof at one shop, but I would appreciate any input from my fellow Corvette brothers and sisters. Thanks in advance and save the wave!

Corvettes of Auburn has a good reputation and has done some fine work for me. They have done electrical work, mechanical work and paint and body work for me and all was done very well with reasonable prices.
I would recommend you ask the same question on the Pacific Northwest forum. You will probably get quite a few recommendations for Corvettes of Auburn. My 2002 Z06 before and after a spell at Corvettes of Auburn.

While I have not had a need to use their services Corvettes of Auburn would be my first choice.

Although not in Seattle (not sure how many vette specific shops there are in that area besides COA), i used Capital Corvettes and Classics in Olympia (about 1 1/2 hours away). They did a good job (although pricey) with a clutch/slave cylinder/etc etc etc that i didn't want to do in my cold unheated shop last winter. Its a small shop (which i like) and you deal directly with the owner. They had some various restorations on vintage cars in their little showroom and they did some top notch stuff (was into vintage mustangs for a long while so know what to look for). Like i said-spendy, but quality work.
