There use to be a guy near Vancouver, Wa, that sold lots of it, but I think he went out of business.  a couple years ago.  Least I haven't been able to find his site lately.  If I remember correctly he was called "handsome woodworker or some thing like that.

I see it often in local Home Depot.  The sell it in 1 "x 8" tongue and grooved boards for walls.

Well I kept looking and it wasn't the handsome woodworker, it was the handsome woodman.  There is still a site but I could not get it to work well.. Use to be you picked the piece you wanted from pictures and ordered.  Too bad he had neat stuff.. Maybe someone bought his business I saw one place had a listing of it being for sale.  If you search Blue pine lumber for sale I found several places that advertise it, most in the form of lumber for paneling wall but some may have chunks.. It is not just  northwest thing.  It is caused by bugs.

I used to be able to get some great stuff from a guy in Montana but he must have gone out of business because he won't respond to my emails anymore. I found a couple of boards at Lowes a year or so ago but it didn't have much blue at all in it. Haven't seen any in the box stores for quite a while. I've called several places that I found on line but they are wanting to sell in large quantities.  If you find a piece with a lot of blue in it I would sure buy it.

I will try to give The Handsome woodworker a call. Thanks

Dave, if you find it locally, please let me know.   I will look too.  

I found a couple of pieces at Lowe's in Denton a couple of years ago. They didn't have as much blue as I would have liked but I haven't seen any since.

I have been told that there is an abundance of blue pine in your area. Is that true? That is pine that has been infested with beetles and killed the tree. It tends to turn the wood a blue grey color. I would love to acquire some if you know where I can get it. 

Dave, I just saw this thread.  Up here by Spokane, WA you can find it on Craigslist all the time.  There is a pretty 2 inch thick piece that is in Naches (located by Yakima) https://yakima.craigslist.org/for/d/naches-blue-pine-slabs-live-edge/7605381556.html.  But they are also located in Idaho as well.

That would be a long drive for me. I can't imagine what shipping would be.

Oh my gosh, I see you live in TX...Thought you were from our neck of the woods.  So, there is another guy who advertizes on craigslist all the time...you could contact him...https://spokane.craigslist.org/mat/d/spirit-lake-blue-pine-and/7606300545.html  his phone number is in the ad...maybe he would ship some to you.  Also Windsor Plywood 509 444-9663 carries tongue and groove, slabs and 4/4  and they do ship.  I need to go into town today, I will try to swing by there (one of my favorite places to shop :)) and take some pics for you....

Okay. Here are the pics from Windsor Plywood (see earlier post).  They sell any amount you want.  They will cut it to the size you want.  Hope this helps.  And yes home depot has it as well.  Just not as nice...20230404_102932.thumb.jpg.d24e5a9d39b1896eae9e7b53e06e55db.jpg20230404_102940.thumb.jpg.84fb302fdafec09036d73a567cc80242.jpg20230404_103041.thumb.jpg.865d7e4e1efa2a9bcd436a047d25a97c.jpg20230404_103055.thumb.jpg.0da4266914593b8615c64f88595f2cd7.jpg20230404_103416.thumb.jpg.ad0d2fa1c802c7ce6604e0a93bab0935.jpg
