No more. They've discontinued them (I got my 510 there as well).
Had consolidated their remaining stock to the Bellevue Square store, and
I doubt there's much, if anything there.
Actually, the Tall's I bought mine from isn't even there any longer
(Alderwood Mall).

Tall's Camera in Seattle (several locations) carries Olympus. I bought
my 510 there.
