source for used optis in PNW?

I'm planning on getting an opti for my son next summer. We live in Seattle and I haven't been seeing any used optis for sale around here. Just wondering if there is some channel in the US they get sold by that I don't know about. A place down in portland sells new vanguard optis for around 2700, so I know where to get one if I go new. The optimist.org site says you can get a used one for much cheaper, but I haven't seen em.

Marine Servcenter in Seattle is a vangaurd dealer also. They had one at the boat show a week ago. Seattle yacht club on portage bay uses them for class's, along with sail at sandpoint IIRC.

cool, thanks, i didn't know marine servcenter was a vanguard dealer. I'll check the two clubs to see if they have any used optis for sail,didn't think of that. The sandpoint one is where I'm planning on sending the munchkin next summer and I told him if he passes that class an is still interested I'll get him on.
