avnerma Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 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!

ScaredSilly Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avnerma Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To_The_Top Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Try this: shop in Ashford You might want to call to see if they have any, just outside the park entrance. TTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpetsailor Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 http://www.rei.com/stores/78 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. http://clients.mapquest.com/fredmeyer/mqlocator?screen=find&link=map2&sqlcol1=record_id&sqlcnd1=%3D&sqlval1=70100031&queryIconCol=icon_id&addr_origin=&city_origin=kent&state_origin=WA&zo=&occ=US 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. http://sites.target.com/site/en/spot/store_details.jsp?storeNumber=627&startingLat=47.380267536475166&startingLong=-122.23739572648198&referringURL=store_locator_new.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
