I ordered some seeds from Territorial Seeds Company. I've had great luck with them in the past.
Inspired to try a smaller seed house, i also ordered some harder-to-find seeds from Nichols, a family-owned seed house in Oregon. An article on heirloom seeds in the Seattle Times guided me to Nichols. I love this picture, which comes from their website.
Another source of tomato inspiration...
