   Costco carries them on a seasonal basis, and if memory serves, summer isn't the season (sorry!).  You'll pay alot more for them at Home Depot usually.  Try all the different chains of auto-supply stores (e.g., Shuck's).  They frequently have them.  Call whatever Costco's are in your area and ask them if they are on order -- they can check for them in the computer.  If you need a "part number" let me know.  I think I still have some in their package.

   Try United Grocers or a restaurant equipment supply store

   Yup, I'd try those restaurant supply places just north of OMSI.

   I got some at Harbor Freight earlier this year.  They have a store in Portland with another soon to be open, according to their web site.

   If you have a Pep Boys nearby they've been running them on sale for months.  I bought two sets and they're great.

   I found them at Harbor Freight, 4 to a package for $10. I had to cut a few in half to cover all the floor that I wanted. Don't know why Inever went to HF before, I only live a couple of miles from it.

   "I only live a couple of miles from it."  Uh-oh.....LOL!

   I get to the one in eastern WA about once a year.  Can usually find some OK stuff, but have to examine carefully.  My fave:  6" digital calipers for $19.99.  they've been fabulous.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the  "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)

   Yeah, there's actually one south of Seattle somewhere too, but I don't really make a point of taking a trip to HF unless I'm visiting my Hubby at his job location east of the mountains.  Occasionally, they'll have something I want and I just order it on-line.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)Another proud member of the  "I Rocked With ToolDoc Club" .... :>)

   Toys R US: Jantzen Beach, Lloyd center, or Clackamas

   They have much nicer 3/4" thick pieces. They are a bit more pricey at $20 for a pack of 4. I have bought 9 packs, and so far my 18 mo son hasn't had a serious head knock on the hardwoods
