Actually, the last time I was in AngleLake (a week or so ago), Dale had a
Greenspeed X5 on the floor. And I've seen some sort of GS trike in there
for a couple of years; but not any sort of selection - he just seems to
always have one or two.

Jim Baxter at Go Bent in Wenatchee, on the other hand, is into Greenspeed in
a big way. I don't know exactly how much inventory he has, but I think
it's quite a bit. When he displayed at Seattle Bike Expo a coupla years
back (the last time I went to the Expo), most of his display was trikes; he
was sharing space with Mark Mueller, so there was a hiracer with XT setup,
but most of the Go Bent stuff was tadpoles (Greenspeed, in particular).

I think WA trike buyers are best served by a trip to Wenatchee, if they're
interested in Greenspeed. But I don't know where one can go for testrides
on ICE, Catrike, or TerraTrike et. al.

There aren't any TRIKE shops in WA, OR or ID that I know of. It's a big
problem for trike mfrs. Silverdale sells Catrike. Coventry (Portland)
sells a few brands and there is a recumbent shop in Wenatchee (Go
Bent?). This black hole for trikes even has had me considering opening
a shop. If you want to add a 3x9 Angle Lake or Angletech (mail order,
Dale's brother Kelvin) are your best choices. Angletech specializes in
DualDrives and he is the only shop I know who does this. As for just
decent bike shops, I dealt with Center Cycle out by IKEA for many
years. Dave and his crew are very friendly, but I never had them work
on recumbents and I doubt they do DualDrives.
