I'm just getting back from in person shopping up north here in Washington. My first stop was in Lynden. They boasted 7,500 tubers available. Format was supermarket sweep. Quite a few varieties had a handful only in stock and of course those were the ones that got scooped up in the first 5 minutes. They were only limits on a few varieties and I believe quite a few people were shopping for friends.
I did not go to the bathroom there, but I should have, because my next stop was in Mount Vernon. It was a beautiful big timber barn with absolutely no bathrooms. I might have survived but the format was waiting in an orderly queue and it was slower than a slug in molasses. I had been there about 15 minutes when I realized there was 50 people ahead of me and there was one or two being let in every 5 minutes. I decided no tuber was worth it and left.
Got a few nice ones anyway. One was Wyn's Phoenix which I can't find information on in the usual places.
