HamRad Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 We're currently in the Seattle area..... Specifically Burien / Normandy Park area. We ran out of propane. Was wondering if anyone in the area knows the best (cheapest) place to purchase propane? Thanks, Dennis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWharton Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Try Tractor Supply, their prices are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_M Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I recently did a search for Tractor Supply stores with propane and found the following stores in Washington that sell propane: LyndenPort OrchardPuyallup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbaraok Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Look up the nearest U-Haul, they often have propane. Google Propane Burien WA - the U-Haul place on 1st Ave that has propane as well as several other places. Google (or whatever search engine you use) is your friend!

HamRad Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks to everyone who has replied. I appreciate your info. I ,of course, tried searching using various parameters. But get such variant info as to be useless. Nothing seems to be intuitive. Was hoping someone who actually is in or near Seattle would reply with specific stores. But I'll find something. Thanks again. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynosback Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 You can try calling your local hardware stores and ask them if they fill tanks. And if they do not, ask them where they would suggest. I find asking the locals about local things always works out best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. Dennis We were up in Fall City this morning, if needed our park had Propane available, as did gas stations in the area, but that doesn't help you. I gave you one with the specific street it is on. Doesn't matter if someone is in the greater Seattle area, they have no idea where in Burien you are. Assume you are driveway parking?

OLYLEN Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I see you have a 5th wheel. Are they portable tanks or fixed. Sounds like the one at 13645 1st ave S might work either way. I would call and ask if fixed tank 206-548-8775 $2.95 a gallon. LEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsara Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 It's cheap around here, I didn't think anyone ever priced shopped for it, we just go and get them filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are driveway parking. Been visiting daughter and family. And I don't care if someone is in Seattle or not..... Just figured anyone reading this forum was probably an RVer and thus might know where to fill propane. I would like the lowest price I can get but certainly won't drive all over town. Just need to get a tank filled..... And they are portable tanks not fixed. Again thanks to everyone for info. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twebster Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hamrad, I used google street maps and found several in your area, Home Depot has an exchange, and there are several others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbaraok Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 It's cheap around here, I didn't think anyone ever priced shopped for it, we just go and get them filled. Bingo! We filled up (after 2 years) our tank at an RV Park in Centralia for something like $1.50 a gallon - really, really cheap. HamRad - why would you think anyone who is in an RV park anywhere in the Seattle Metro area (which means 30+ miles out) would have any idea about Burien, WA where there are no RV Parks? Like was stated, it is cheap in this area - just get them filled. It is warm enough at night so you don't need to be filling every few days.

Guess I'm just to parochial in my thinking. Just sort of figured that surely someone from the general area would steer me to a specific location. And I did get some good info. I thank you and all the others who have addressed my issue. If future I'll try to word my situation more clearly. Thanks for all your input. We're headed home tomorrow and I'm dreading it! It is simply too hot in Bakersfield and I've gotten spoiled by the wonderful weather here in the Seattle area. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRad Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Well I found a place just a few blocks from where we're staying. It is a U-Haul store. A young lady met me as I was entering the store. I told her I needed propane and she said she could help me. Ten minutes later I was on my way home with a full tank. Thanks again for all the helpful info. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
