Little Tokyo in Los Angeles - several shops including Kinokinuya bookstore. There's also a new one opening soon that has the green-haired leek-wielding singing mascot as its spokesperson.
San Francisco has the Japantown shopping mall with all sorts of whatnot shops, bookstores, and restaurants.
But I get about 95% of my stuff online. Portland, OR doesn't have too much outside of the manga aisle in B&N, Powell's, or the tiny Kinokinuya outpost in the Uwajimaya grocery store here. There's a handful of "comic stores" but about all they sell is figure collectibles for absurd markups. You go there for Western comics, not for Eastern whatnot.
