There's a VR Arcade called "Portal" in Ballard that has padded rooms with Vive headsets hanging from the ceiling.

In my neighborhood, and I keep meaning to stop in. I just keep walking by because I am unsure what they are selling.

Both Oculus and Vive give demos set up in various retail outlets in the US:

ah, thank you. I don't do social media so it doesn't even occur to me that answering this type of question is actually easy =)

I'm pretty sure the Microsoft Store in Bellevue still has an HTC Vive set up for demos. There may be a couple people in line. I expect the other Microsoft stores have similar demo stations, you can probably call to verify if you don't want to cross the lake.

[Disclaimer: work at Microsoft but not in retail. I've used the Vive but not the store demo station.]
