Buying a gas canister enroute Rainier?

[avnerma]

I fly into Seattle late in the evening and go straight to Paradise to climb Rainier. Question is: is there any place that sells gas canisters (for a stove) on the way that will be open? This is going to be on a weekday, not a weekend.

 

thanks!

Just stop by REI along the way. There is one that is 10 minutes from Sea-Tac. We usually buy a gallon of white gas though. We fill our bottles and dump the rest inthe rental car. White gas burns nice.

thanks, scaredsilly. I forgot to mention that I get to seattle pretty late (~9pm). And I need butne gas canisters. I guess I am hoping for too much with these parameters, ain't I?

 

thanks

Try this: shop in Ashford You might want to call to see if they have any, just outside the park entrance.

Looks like these guys close up at 9 on weekdays, 8p today.

 

The Seattle REI's open 'till 9. http://www.rei.com/stores/11 .

 

 

Fred Meyer 'prolly carries white gas, don't know about cylinders. There are several near the airport/on your way. This one (and maybe all of them) is open 'till 11p.

Don't know if Target carries cylinders (the more I think about it, the more I doubt it), but they're open nearby the REI 'till 10.
