When I took it to Tru-Line, I instructed them to look for any suspension components that looked worn and replace them ahead of doing an alignment. I also replaced/upgraded the struts at that time as one was leaking.
This is what they replaced:
-Both front track arms
-LF wheel straightened (removed slight vibration at 70+mph)
-LF wheel bearing (suspect the bent wheel killed it)
-LR control arm (bad ball joint)
-LR track rod
-All 4 struts replaced with new Bilstein HD's; all related hardware replaced with OEM components (strut bearings, etc)
-New Contis have around 1000mi on them now
-4 wheel alignment was performed by the best shop in Seattle (who also did all of the suspension work ahead of the alignment)

I agree that you took your car to the best alignment shop in Seattle, That is where I had mine done, and I was greatly impressed with their work; they really know their stuff.
It's strange that the symptom you are getting only occurs over 75 mph. If the problem is a normal mechanical one, it seems like it would show up at all speeds. Is your front bumper cover undamaged? Are all the under-body covers in the front intact? I'm wondering if maybe something with your bodywork is amiss, and causing some lift at higher speeds.
