Hi Cali, welcome to ATP!
>> Do you know where I can find culantro(NGOGAI)in Everett, WA?
I might be the only place with seeds, and I don;t have any dried leaves.
I bought my seed most recently from Kitazawa Seeds, if Baker Creek is still out of stock.

I should check my stash before promising, but if I have some seeds left, I can send some to you. It's best not to post your street address publicly, but if you double-click on my name, you can send me an ATP-email ("Tree Mail"). I probably do have some seeds left.
If you live in Everett, they would probably prefer more heat than we usually get.
