Where can I get XYZ exotic film processed? See below!
Background:
I've got a 4x5" view camera, and I'd like to shoot some color negatives on it, for printing in a color darkroom that I currently have access to (that, alas, is slated to go away soon). However, the local lab doesn't do C-41 sheet film, so... I'm wanting to figure out what lab(s) I might be able to send it to. And I figure this is becoming a more and more rare thing, so, I propose that this question be treated as a clearing-house for information about places that develop color sheet film, or color infrared film of any type (if there still are such places -- I still have a roll or two in my freezer, but I don't think it's possible to get anymore, really), or what have you.
Format:
My suggestion is for someone to make this a community wiki (please; alas, I don't seem to yet have the rep to do that), with a summary of all the answers in the question, broken down by film type. And then, the answers can be set up to be one answer per Lab that's relevant to any of the listed film types, with comments under that answer for people to share their experiences with that particular lab.
I'm assuming that many places at this point will be oriented towards dealing with mail-in submissions from around the united states or even globally. Please specify the city, in case someone happens to be local to it, but also link to a website or provide whatever other contact info might be relevant, so that people can figure out mailing, etc.
The info!

120 Roll film
I'm guessing this one is still a lot easier, but it's probably harder than some, so... Break this down by Country/State, and list labs that people might find to be relatively local? (Do the same with other film types, as needed.)
California
- Keeble and Shuchat, Palo Alto -- processes B&W and C-41 in-store; will handle E-6, passing off to Swan Labs, in San Clamente Surely lots of others, especially in SoCal. Please add them.
New York State
- LTI Photographic Services, New York, New York
- Praus Productions, Inc., Rochester, New York
Washington State
- Capitol Hill Photo, Seattle, handles B&W, C-41, and E-6, as well. Someone who's used them, please fill in further details.
- R&R Custom Color, Spokane
Anyone know of a place in Tacoma? Olympia? Others?
United Kingdom
- Peak Imaging, UK Sheffield, UK
B&W Infra-red
Surely many more
Color Infra-red
Anywhere?
Notes:
Please add more film types below the above if you're having trouble finding places that will process them. Be as specific as you think is relevant to the level of difficulty (I'm guessing that 35mm C-41 will still be a while before it needs to be listed here, since many drug stores and such still process it, for example -- E-6 might be sooner, but even there, many drugstores will handle it for you, by passing it off to a lab on your behalf.)
Please make named links (see examples already existing), and if there's an answer for that lab, link to that answer, instead of the lab's website (linking to the latter from within the answer).
This is (or should soon be) a community wiki, so please edit as you see fit to make it better!
Please put a horizontal rule (three dashes) between major categories (types of film) only.
