If you can make it down to Dallas Oregon there is a shop there with more
Nikon than I have ever seen in one place outside of NYC.

Check B&H. They close early Friday afternoon and don't open on
Saturday. Near Penn Station, their location and hours are provided
in their ads which appear in almost all U.S. photo magazines. It's
also on their website at www.bhphotovideo.com

Another to try is Adorama. See www.adorama.com

Willoughby's used to be a fairly large photo store located on the
other side of Penn Station, but it's been many years since I was
there and I'm not sure that they still exist. If they do, it may be
much smaller, located who knows where, and the store is probably
nothing like it used to be. Only mentioned in case I'm mistaken.
Many others probably know for sure.

Good point, there is no sales tax in Oregon. Another reason to shop in
Dallas, OR

The major know town is Dalles. Did not realize until I googled that there
was a Dallas. Dalles is where the wagon trains ended.

It's all a big mistake I tell ya. What the wagonmaster shouted
when they arrived was actually "Das ist alles".

But the pumped gas is cheaper than the self serve Calif gas.

Well yes Bill we do have a city named the Dalles, but I am referring to
Dallas just West of Salem.

Could you do so by pumping gas into them? Or would the state just
implode?

I do like Oregon, though - Crater Lake, all them loverly volcanic areas,
buffer zone between here and California...

When i went to Seattle, the same problem, i too searched for a good camera shop! Atlast i got a service from a photographer and he is perfect. By the way, have you heard of MiNeeds.com? It really simplifies finding affordable photographers. I used it to find them for my wedding. Essentially, after I described what I needed on this site, I received several competitive bids from local photographers. I liked the fact that I didn’t have to call around and negotiate with each, and that they actually came to me.
