Italian Neighborhoods / Markets in WA? (Seattle, Spokane: places, grocery, rain)

[Leap of Belief]

Curious to know if anyone knows of any "Italian" neighborhoods / communities in WA state? Is there a "Little Italty" in WA?

We are also looking for a good Italian market on the west side of the mountains. We travel the length of the state often and can stop stock up.

Thanks!

There really aren't any Italian neighborhoods in the Seattle area...The Rainier Valley used to be, formerly known as the Garlic Gulch, but much of the Italian community has dispersed.
Renton may have a higher proportion of Italians than other places, since there were a lot of Italian coal miners in the old days whose families have stuck around.
