I'd agree with this price breakdown. Being from WA State and having kept on eye on Passports on eBay and Craigslist, I'd say you're in a good position to get an above-average price. Both Seattle and Portland are the kind of cities with folks who appreciate vintage bikes. Also, given the Pacific Northwest's shorter riding season, the supply of Passports seems to be lower than some other places in the country.
The whole $2500 thing is definitely an anomaly. There aren't many people out there who will pay $2500 for something that can almost surely be had for half that with a little patience/effort.
Good luck.
