Need to find a good salvage yard in Pacific Northwest

The title pretty much says it. I have to get a passenger side lower A arm, and air bag for the passenger side if they’ll sell a used one.

Hoping to find a salvage yard in Washington State that specializes in Mini Coopers.

Can someone recommend a good one?

Edit: 2004 R50 Mini Cooper

I'm all the way across the country so I don't know how good either of these options are,
but they are options.

Over by Wenatchee, right in the middle of the State.

I’ll probably take this coming Friday off, to make the parts run.

We’ll try to drop the subframe out today and tomorrow, to see how much damage there is.

She turned too soon at a dimly lit railroad crossing, hit a rail destroying the right front tire and wheel, breaking the half shaft and lower A arm. Almost no body damage, just some trim and the passenger side air bag at this point.

No ticket, and I’d done this same thing at the same crossing a number of years ago. Nobody hurt, except the car.

Just got another kid’s Honda Pilot out of the garage earlier yesterday, after fixing the A/C.

When it rains, it pours!

I need to find another wheel as shown below,



Stock wheel for 2004 R50 Chili Red Mini Cooper

I would also like to find a used Falken P4 A/S 175/65/R15 to keep the four tires the same.

Found Moog ball joints and an A arm on Amazon for about 2/3 the price of NAPA and Advance Auto Parts. Might as well do it right while I’m in there.
