Closest I know of is birdhouse taxidermy in Arlington. I had a couple done there and they turned out great.

Take it from me after 1,000$+ of wasted money spend at local what com/skagit bird taxidermist ..must mail it to willow creek taxidermy in colville was. 235$ for a duck. His work is about as good as birdman studios. Avoid Whidbey island taxidermy.

My buddy has taken a bunch of birds up to Colville. It is a long drive but he does great work

John from Willow Creek Taxidermy does amazing work. He is a site sponsor and a lot of his work can be seen on here.
WCTaxidermy is his handle.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I just mail them they still get there frozen. They have the best communication of any taxidermist, he does great detail in the feet.

Don't take it to Whidbey island trust me, wilderness (Roger) takes over a year to almost 2 years to get back. Just mail it John Naab at Willow Creek Tax. He takes pride in your trophy and hes an artist.
