^^^ 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. |

Called the REI flagship store today at 10:30 (Seattle). They had the 8 oz MSR cannisters in stock. You can order online for curbside pickup. Looks like you must pickup same day, though, as I wasn't given an option. They email you when it's ready.  |
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.

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.
