I bought a Kona Jake from recycled cycles in seattle and although I like the guys there I'd like to bring my bike in to a shop with a full fit program to swap out the stem/whatever else I might need to set my mind and body at ease.
Any suggestions around the Seattle area?

Sammamish Valley Cycle in Redmond has a fit program with video analysis. I believe that Gerk's Alpine Hut in Redmond does the Specialized fit program with video as well.

Go to R+E Cycles and talk to Smiley. They're not far from Recycled Cycles. www.rodcycle.com

+1 for R+E if you're looking to stay on the Seattle side of the lake.
+1 for Sammamish Valley Cycles if you're willing to travel to the eastside. <-- personally biased
I had a Serotta Fit done by Rick Olsen at SVC before finally deciding on which bike to buy, and he did all the final fit work once the bike arrived. I can't say I've been dissappointed by anything about the entire process.

At Veloce Velo in Issaquah, we have just brought in the Cyfac Postural System which provides an amazing fit with a huge amount of efficiency:

Every customer who has done it so far has been very happy with the results, and we're going to start posting testimonials on our web site.
We also offer traditional fit services, custom footbeds and shims, and custom shoes from Shimano and Louis Garneau.
I'm planning on having a fit done at Woodenville Cycles...the guys there seemed to really know there stuff.
