Apparantly you're correct, there is a location on Dunsmuir.

I was not familiar with that location. I had my iris scan done at YVR, it took about 5 minutes and was well worth every second of the wait. I breeze through immigration at YVR and YYZ practically without stopping.

Unfortunately, I have not yet needed to clear security at an airport with PreCheck, although I will at LAX in the not-too-distant future.
That's what I did for my AA profile, just entered in my GOES Pass ID and I have the green checkmark and it states I'm part of the TSA Expedited Screening Program when I make a booking (see:
here). I've gone through at LAX and it's a breeze. I also signed up for CO's pilot program, though I have no idea when they're rolling that out; as well as DL's.
