Under part 61, switching schools or CFI's isn't a big deal. Switching aircraft types is a slightly bigger deal, but not huge if you have a good reason.
I wouldn't worry about IFR equipment at all for your PPL. A 152 has what you need.

I fly at Pavco Flight on Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW). The instructors are great, and the aircraft are well maintained. You can check them out at www.flypavco.com

I've been checking out some other options as well.... even buying an airplane or part of one...
another option I found is a local flying club at the auburn airport- hourly rates for the planes and instructors are killer, but the catch is there's a $2000 buy-in and $65/mo dues. long term it might pay back, but it'll take a while.
I'm checking into some schools in eastern WA as well... I have a place to stay for free if I go over there for 2-3 days/wk.

I don't have a place to stay there, but I do have one in the tri-cities. The two schools there are Bergstrom Aviation in Pasco and Tuttle Aviation in Kennewick... prices are some of the best I've seen so far, and they both seem to be good operations.
