That looks like a tricky bed to weed! Do those electrical wires and gas pipes go under the soil?
>> I am in Snohomish, about 40 North of Seattle.
Cool, I also live in Snohomish county.
If you live anywhere near Snohomish the town, you HAVE to check out Steuber's Distributing. They are like a wholesale supplier to nurseries, greenhouses, farmers and gardeners. It helps to look at their paper catalog before going there, to know what-all they have available, but you have to go there to get the paper catalog.
I've been there many times but still need my GPS to make the last few turns. Now I get most of my irrigation gadgets there. Certainly I get plug trays and inserts there.

If I remember correctly which "hardware store" is which, this one was pretty good for gardeners. But if you try to buy a 50 pound bag of #2 GRANITE chicken grit, make sure they don't give you the #2 SEASHELL chicken grit!

This next place is OK if you buy from the list of big bags in "the warehouse" Many things in the Yuppie-looking part of the store are priced for Yuppies, not farmers.

The Everett Grange is the same way: hugely expensive toys and feeds for pets on display, but affordable garden supplies "in the warehouse":

(until 6pm? closed Sunday)

The Everett Grange is not far from the Lowes in Everett. I think Lowes has a good plant section and some large bags of decent soil amendments, like fine pine bark nuggets.
(I forget which kind of store this next was, but it was interesting enough that I saved its address:
