Barnard Griffin and Snoqualmine come to mind. Both are fairly priced
and pretty good quality for the price.

Try not to be put off by the distance to WW. At least try to make it to
the Prosser (and from there to the Red Mountain) area. If you really
can't make it there try visiting the Woodinville (suburb of Seattle)
area. A lot of WW and other top notch wineries have established tasting
rooms there. You won't see any vineyards there but you can taste a lot
of good wines within a few miles of each other.

Woodinville is close to Snohomish where we'll be. I may have talked
them into making the drive to Walla Walla but still may go to Yakima
as well.

If you're going to be staying in Snohomish, then by all means visit
Woodinville. If you travel to WW, you'll be going through the Yakima
Valley. Although there are many good wineries in the YV, they are pretty
spread out. The nice thing about WW is that there are so many so close
to each other.
