Any way to tell who owns two different dealerships?

Hey Guys,
I'm wondering if there's a way to tell who the owner of two different dealerships is? I had a bad customer service experience with BMW of Bellevue, and refuse to purchase another car from them. I'd like to purchase a car at BMW of Seattle instead, but want to make sure I'm not giving money to the same owner.

Sh*t, that's sooooo 1990's. I need this information on the internet, NOW!

J/K. The obvious solution is a little too obvious sometimes

I'm ALMOST positive it isn't the same person/group. I used to buy/service @ Bellevue, but have since shifted to Seattle. The most recent is my 2010 335xi mtech that I got a great price on NYE and it includes free car washes. Sales (Tyke Carkonen) and service is a much better experience now for my wife and I.
