You might also try Larry's Market in Tukwila, ain't been there in a while but they used to be a CH mecca, lotsa hotsauces and peppers. Try the Pike Place market, if you can handle the traffic... and I just bought a pound of rocotos at a roadside stand in Fife, so the chiles are there, if you're willing to do a little digging. Richard
