Washington cut has just started, usually packed in 28lbs ctns or 20lbs consumer packs.  Still very expensive, with lots of Mexican product still around.  Best to wait for 2-3 weeks for the price to drop.  Try to get standard (comes in Jumbo, Lrg., std. and pencil)  Lots of the produce stands go over and pick up their own in Eastern Washington, but many of the regular stores actually get daily and most buy standard not large. (pencil is harder to work with for canning or pickling) Wait for a good ad at one of the local stores and, frankly, you'll get as good or better than you will any where else.  Make sure they've had it under refrigeration as it does break down fairly quickly, and many of the farmers markets or fruit stands lack good refrigeration.  Good stuff will have nice snap when you bent it a bit and no sag when you hold it upright.
