Washed coarse sand in Seattle?

Have you tried Salmon Bay Sand and Gravel, in Ballard? I don't know if
they have exactly what you are seeking, but they're worth a try.
I start nearly everything in peat and pumice, equally mixed. Bulk pumice
is available at the Maltby branch of Pacific Topsoils. They may also be a
good sand source.

On previous threads, we’ve discussed the benefits of sand in seed starting
mixes. I do use sand in my seed mixes, and have shopped around some for the
cleanest (most free of fine particles) coarse sand available. So far, the
best I’ve found are 100lb bags of sand from Sky Nursery in Shoreline, which
has worked reasonably well for me for the last few years, but it still has
some room for improvement in terms of lack of fine particles. Does anybody
have any recommendations for better sources in the Seattle area?
Apologies for the location-specific nature of the topic, but hundreds of
pounds of sand doesn’t lend itself to long distance shipping!
