In Seattle, Metrix Create:Space has a LPKF Protolaser S capable of 2-mil traces with 2-mil spacing. They also have a CNC PCB Plotter for the necessary drilling. I had the honor of designing the first functioning circuit that they built - a tiny PCB the size of a coin for wearable computing.

I thought you asked "where," but I see you actually asked "what," as in cost - I think they're six figures to buy, and I don't know whether that includes the significant training necessary to operate them properly. Depending upon what you want to spend your time on, you're probably better off hiring someone to make PCBs for you rather than buying the equipment to do it yourself.
