^^^ Per my longer post of the 31st, they've been selling out daily, and for some reason their computer system can't track distribution center fulfillment for this fuel; but they know that the warehouse(s) have thousands of cannisters. Your best bet is to call the store shortly after they open and/or check online early in the day.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't really "cook" per se, but we do boil water to add to the dehydrated food. And for coffee, of course.

Good to know. I'll plan to do this next month upon arrival at Seattle. I also bought a lindal valve in case they only thing they have are the tall green coleman propane cans, and a butane-to-isobutane adapter in case our only option is to get a butane can.

Just got mine. The curbside pickup sure beats having to go into that parking garage!

^^^ That's what I ended up using last year when my Peak 1 disintegrated during a test the night before a trip. I dashed to Freddies and bought a few of those cans, plus the nifty little Sterno pop-up aluminum wind screen with grate on top to hold your water pot. Worked OK in a pinch. Kinda slow.

Sportsmans Warehouse in Silverdale had some when I was in there in Saturday. I had been there the week before and it was obvious they had both sold a bunch and gotten more in in the meantime. That is a spot were you could probably stop on your way out to the Olympcs, 80skeys.

Awesome tip, thanks. I'll mark that location on my calendar.

Was able to order a few from Aldewood REI last Wednesday for curbside pickup.

Lots of Olicamp 100g canisters at Arlberg Sports in Wenatchee. And some larger MSR expedition canisters there also.

No shortage of fuel canisters at the Seattle REI. All those boxes in the back are full and circle around the fireplace.

Northgate Big 5 was totally stocked up again. So this was exactly like the great TP shortage of spring 2020, the prepers panicked and hoarded, then the shelves were restocked.
Since I have no expectations of forgiveness, I don't do it in the first place. That loop hole needs to be closed to everyone.
