Laurelhurst Oil does! I use them for both home heating oil, Bioheat, and Biodiesel for my TDI. They give discounts for being both a car and home customer. I've always used a B99 blend in the car and never had fuel filter problems.
Home. I had them install a special pump that allows for higher Bioheat blends, and I have had nothing but great heat.

My wife brought some miscellaneous alumimum I had been saving
there without know what she had. The guys there weighed the
aluminum cans but said the other aluminum was worthless
(regular steel they said). They took it as a "favor". Probably 20 lbs. or so.
Know what you're bringing there if you go!!

I just had a very poor experience with Genesee Fuel, and I strongly recommend that you stay away from these folks and move to a more professionally operated company. I suggest Rossoe (206) 725-7555, which is who I am using now.
I recently bought a very old home with an oil-based boiler. Yesterday, the heat went off, and I couldn't be sure if there was a boiler malfunction or we were out of oil. (Sadly, I did not know how to measure the oil level.) I was surprised to learn ultimately that we were out of oil, because we had just filled it less than two months ago.
In any case, I called Genesee (who has filled our oil tank in the past) to ask for help with diagnosing the problem and correcting the situation. It was after hours, but given the sub-freezing weather, this constituted an emergency from my point of view.
I called Genesee's night emergency line and spoke with someone who told me I would get a call back that night. I never received the call. In the early morning, I called again and was told that they could send out a repair truck, but that it would be $74 and if the problem turned out to be the oil level, this person would not be able to help. I asked them to send the repair person.
He showed up this morning and said "yup, you're out of oil." He said he carried a small amount of oil with him, but that for our boiler, it wouldn't last more than an hour or so, so we shouldn't bother. He also couldn't tell me when an oil truck would be able to come out. So after he left, I called Genesee again and asked for an oil delivery today. They said that all their trucks were out serving other customers and they couldn't deliver it until tomorrow, but if I had called last night, they would have been able to schedule me in for today. That was just a *bit* maddening.
The customer service rep that told me the above then said that maybe I could convince dispatch to come out today, so she transferred me to dispatch. This was the point in the experience where I completely flipped the bit on Genesee. The dispatcher said "so which of my other customers without any heating oil should I push off the list to come out and fill your tank?" Very unimpressive. I then asked if he could recommend another company in town who might be able to service us today. Instead of doing the right thing and trying to find a solution for his customer, he said "I'm not going to tell you who my competitors are - you can look at the yellow pages yourself!"
So I did go to the Yellow Pages and quickly found Rossoe. Within an hour, they were at my house filling the tank and the driver even verified that the boiler came on and stayed on. Their service was excellent, and I intend to enter into a maintenance agreement with them.
So at the end of the day, Genesee lost all my future business instead of just losing my business for this one tank refill.

When i bought my house with oil several years ago I called Rossoe who had service the furnace for the prior owners. I knew nothing about oil heat and just wanted a bit of an education. What I got from Rossoe was a receptionist who was apparently inconvenienced by my inquiry and a sell job from a "salesman" who never listened to what I wanted. I called Genesee (see my post on them) and they were way easier to deal with and friendly.

I took my car to ballard electic on 49th. THis place is the best. They were very friendly, very honest and helpful. I took my cars to other places that gave me the run around about what was wrong with my car. Sears auto, actually told me that it was going to cost me $350 for a new alternator (i found alternators ofr $150 everywhere else) Ballard electric, took time out of there busy schedule to check my car and found the problem in 2 seconds, fixed it and sent me on my way. It was just a fuse and didn't even charge me.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

More
I've been researching an oil-to-gas furnace conversion. This is about a $4000+ job so I've called about 5 companies. Olson is one of the companies that came to give me an estimate (and of course I had to take time off from work to meet with the various furnace contractors) but they never followed up with a bid. They may be fine but the lack of followup is worrisome--I'll be using one of the companies that seemed to want my business instead...
UPDATE: it's several weeks later and I never did get that bid from Olsen! But I got comprehensive and detailed bids from Ballard Natural Gas, Greenwood Heating, and Seattle Natural Gas. I did pick one of these, but the work won't be done until later in the summer, so this is only a report on the front end customer service--stay tuned!

Nearly every year our sewer backs up due to tree roots, and we have our plumber come to cut the roots back. When I found that our plumber was out of business, I saw the excellent reviews for Budget Sewer and gave them a call. Since I simply wanted the line cleared, and not replaced, they referred me to Aaron at Seattle Sewer Inspection. He quoted me the same price as the other lowest bids to cut back the roots. I wondered how much more it would be to run a camera through the line and locate the source of the problem. Aaron said that he primarily does camera inspections, and that the price for a camera inspection would be an additional amount at the same price charged for cutting roots, but that since he would already be there, he'd cut the price for the camera inspection in half. He was able to come out the same day.
Although our sewer pipe had apparently become offset and made it difficult for his equipment to push through, he persisted until the pipe was cleared and the problem area was located and marked in the yard (in case I decide to dig it up later.) And he patiently ran the camera back through the line again when I thought I had seen another spot where roots were entering.
Before he left, I asked whether he could snake out a bathroom sink that had been draining progressively slower. Although it was late in the day and he typically did sewer inspections and not plumbing, he ran a 25-foot snake through the pipe, pulled out a huge clog, and charged less than I had previously agreed to pay for that. (I can't guarantee that will be the case for everyone. But his company is new, and still building a client-base.)
Aaron knows his stuff, was very pleasant, and clearly explained what he was doing and why, and what all the options were. I feel secure in recommending him, and his rates are very competitive. Lastly, they've got a well-done website that clearly explains the work they do and what to expect.
