We do all our own.  I never get enough back from professional butchers.  They are too used to throwing anything away that isn't perfect...  I would rather decide what goes in the trash and what is worth saving than some guy used to working on 1,500 lb animals.
We have an old hand-crank grinder.  PathfinderJR and I clamp it to the kitchen counter, crack open a couple of cokes and have at it.  He takes a lot of pride in the fact that he not only provides meat for the family but that he helps process it too.

I do almost all on my own.  There are only a couple people in this world that I trust cutting my meat.  I have made summer sausage, salami, kielbasa, brats, breakfast sausage, italian sausages, hot dogs, jerky and the list goes on.  Funny thing though, the one thing I have never made is pepperoni.  When I have that made Sylvana or Doug's in Kent are my 2 favorites.  They use only your meat.  That's why I like to freeze the meat and take it somewhere in the off season.

I'll tell you one place to avoid and that is Linds (sp?) just North of Covington.  He ripped me off and the pepperoni was not very good.

Ulrich Meats between Redmond and Woodinville was my go to place.  After they retired I've tried about a dozen different places and haven't been happy with a one.  Finally bought all the grinding supplies and do it myself.  Cuts into our hunting time if one gets an elk early, but at least we know we are getting it done right and wrapped or vacume packed for the long freeze.

This is a great thread. I've been to B&E and they make a beef jerkey that is amazing. I can't wait until I have an animal I've taken.

Also, @NRA4LIFE: Thanks for the tip on Doug's. I've driven by there a few times, but it's always closed, so I haven't been able to buy anything there yet.

Re: List your Favorite meat processor..ME! I do all my own. Get the Outdoor Edge Game Processing Video, very comprehensive, you'll be cuttin like a pro. I learned in a butcher shop. If not your cup of tea, Butcher Boys in Vancouver do nice work, great spices and OK prices.

Herritage Meats in Rochester or Dick's in Grand Mound for sausage and pepperoni.

Smokey Ridge meats S. of Chewelah off 395.

I can vouch for Doug's in Kent.  He does an excellent job on sausage/pepperoni too.  I cut my own meat for years, but as a business owner, time can be an issue.  I don't hesitate to take my game to him. 

One note, if you take a nasty dirty hair infested pile of meat to any butcher, that's what you'll get back.

Also, since we are on the subject.  What is everyone's thoughts on getting there game to taste the best.  I personally get the thing field dressed and skinned as quickly as possible.  I have heard that this makes your meat taste better?  I also think it would be a hell of a lot easier to skin.  I have seen people driving through winthrop on a 80 degree day with a deer with the full hide on it and strapped to there hood.

B&E MEATS IN DESMOINES.  cant go wrong,  my neighbor is head butcher. lol.  good deals. 
jalepeno chedder,  yum

   Though, I would suggest deboning your animal before taking it in, saves you $100 processing fee.  Great jerky and love the jalapeno cheddar pepperoni sticks    Does anyone know if they process game meat at their Federal Way location?

Get the guts out and hide off asap!  I prefer to hunt late archery because of the cold temps.  The faster you can get it to cool completely and the cleaner it is, the better it will taste.
