Here are some more suggestions:

http://www.epinions.com/Credit_Cards
"Ten Good Cards": http://creditboards.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=139513
Another suggestion would be Nordstrom:
http://about.nordstrom.com/aboutus/credit/visa/visa_tc.asp
http://about.nordstrom.com/aboutus/credit/SignatureVisa/signature_visa_tc.asp
For some people, their version of "making it" -- of finally achieving a goal that represents credit success -- is being approved for an American Express card. For me, "making it" is being approved for a USAA card and a Nordstrom credit card. I was approved earlier this year for USAA (my Equifax report is my best and cleanest report). But hopefully some day I'll have a good enough Ex report to be approved for a Nordstrom's card. I have consistently read that their service is nothing less than outstanding. I literally have never read a single bad thing about Nordstrom's credit cards. There are some reviews here: http://premiumcreditcard.cardratings.com/partners/links/cardholders/details.asp?idmin=9839&tempid=124
You can find additional reviews for Nordstrom's credit cards if you perform a search at this forum and at http://creditboards.com/forums/index.php?s=&act=Search&f= (Under "Search Where", click on "Credit Forum". You'll be able to get a lot of results just doing a search using only the word "Nordstrom")

Two more possibilities that (in my opinion) sound promising:
Rainier Pacific Bank

Overview
Rainier Pacific Financial Group was formed in 2003 as the holding company for Rainier Pacific Bank, which serves Pierce County, Washington through about a dozen branches located south of Seattle. The community-oriented savings bank, which converted from a credit union in 2001, primarily writes commercial mortgages and multifamily residential loans, (about 30% and 25% of its loan portfolio, respectively), along with consumer loans. The company also offers various insurance and investment products, including an online brokerage service. Rainier Pacific Financial's stock began trading on Nasdaq in October 2003.
From the "Ten Good Cards" list:
Commerce Bank

http://www.commerceonline.com/about_commerce/index.cfm
http://bank.commerceonline.com/personal_banking/index.cfm
http://bank.commerceonline.com/personal_banking/visaPlatinumCC.cfm
I wish I knew more about this bank, but this thread (below) is about all I can find that has customer feedback on this bank. But what is here sounds very positive:
"Fee Free Visa from Commerce Bank"
