Need to replace two headsets and would love the use of a real headset press. Id rather not go the hardware store route. Willing to trade beer and good company for a few minutes of your time.

I would suggest you go to Wright Bros in Fremont. Charles (never Charlie) runs his repair shop as a Co-op. $30 or $40 buys you a lifetime membership and access to workstands and all the tools you will ever need.

Charles is a bit of a curmudgeon but he has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things Campy and Shimano. He is happy to show you how to use any tool and willing to step in if you need a bit of assistance.

This place is an amazing resource and deserves our support! Be warned, its also a bit of a time warp...there is no shop like this in Seattle.

Second, on Wright Brothers. Definitely a great place, definitely a time-warp, and Charles is definitely a curmudgeon, but with a heart of Vicenza forged alloy.

The Bikery is a full co op. Bike works is a non profit that lets its shop be used like a co op a couple times a week.

That place is amazing. I wish I was ridding bikes when I lived in ballard, I went by there a few times and was a very cool place, nothing like it for sure

Ah, so south of Puyallup (very near Frederickson) wouldn't help you much.
