Experiences with veterinary oncologists in the area? Who do you love? Would you not recommend one?

Whoops, did not realize the rules - I use Reddit for cat, D&D, and snark content mostly. Reposting as I incorrectly posted in Seattle sub.

Title. One of my cats went into the vet for what I thought was just old man aches and pains, and instead we discovered a large mass on his liver. Had an ultrasound and biopsy, and the results are a little confusing and we were encouraged by our vet to seek a veterinary oncologist opinion for next steps.

I know it probably won't be cheap for a consult, and I am unsure what treatment path we will choose, but I was given a list of several offices to call and frankly, it is a bit overwhelming and I am not sure how to choose/where to start, so may as well ask Reddit. I guess if I had to list any of my preferences: does not have to be the cheapest, but obviously would prefer to not have tons of extra costs. I just want compassionate care in the best interests of my kitty, even if that means palliative care.

I'd prefer not to go up to Lynnwood or the Eastside if some of the options in Seattle and/or some of the south options are good, mostly for my own sanity (my cat makes this noise that is so disturbing, and only when in the car).
