Thanks for the response.  I'm puzzled by the difficulty of contacting the list of providers I've tried to communicate with in Seattle.  Even this thread has elicited no responses.  However, I'm happy to say the original provider I contacted, Allie, has finally answered my email ( she was apparently having email problems), and I'm rapidly on my way to working things out, I hope.  

I was looking for High-energy real gfe without a bunch of strings attached, and high-reliability.  When I make trips and schedule these meetings, nothing is quite the bother like having a provider not show up or cancel at the 11th hour.  I then frequently have to roll the dice with the phone-book, and you know how that is.

Thanks again.  If you've other suggestions my email is [email protected].
