We recently had carpets installed by the First Avenue branch in Seattle. The sales staff were knowledgeable and not pushy. They gave lots of information about the carpet and took our needs into account. We ended up purchasing two different types of carpet, one slightly nicer for upstairs, one a little cheaper for the basement. Both turned out to be excellent choices. Installers were professional and courteous.
A few very minor complaints - the sales person didn't write down our color choice during our visit, so we had to make another trip down to confirm it; and the installers left a small pile of wood scraps that they forgot to take with them. So I took off one star, but I'd go back to the same store to buy more carpet.
