Seattle has like 150 breweries, so you don't find that much that isn't local these days. My problem finding things that don't have hops - that shit tastes like poison.
Is there a size limit for craft breweries? I always equate "craft" to independence rather than size. I'd consider Bell's craft compared to Elysian even though Bell's produces almost 3x as many barrels per year.
Too many breweries are doing over hopped IPAs where IBUs are more important than actual flavor (Bell's is definitely guilty with Hopslam). Aslin has some hop bombs that are less bitter than certain single IPAs
