Garage door hardware store near seattle?
Is there a local store near Seattle that sells garage door hardware (cables, bottom bracket, etc) with more selection than homedepot?
Or maybe there is a national chain store for these things?
I cannot find what I need at homedepot.

I found two stores. Went to one and found what I need.
It looks more like an office/showroom than a hardware store. However, they have a parts room in the back with racks of garage door parts, and can also swage custom cables.

I could not find a replacement cable like this. The garage was built in 1980's. Pulley cables available now all have a loop at the end like [url=https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-12-ft-Garage-Door-Extension-Cables-2-Pack-5020A30/202088363]this[/url]
Can the replacement cable be used as is with the existing bottom bracket? It seems like the cable can detach from the bottom bracket if the cable tension is low and there is a jolt (e.g. when the door hit the top of travel). Should I worry? Even the old cable has the same problem I just never thought about it.
