Steel sales in Renton/Kent?

chainsaw · Dec 28, 2010

I need to find a place that sells steel retail. Farwest is close but the have a $200 minimum and I got the impression they dont want to deal with small time chumps like me. Any one have a place?

steel like box and plate or round tubing?

If round tubing then hit up Anthony at XO offroad.

If "other" hit up floyds/interwest metals in fife.

VERY hard to belive that Marmom is selling to the public at $2.90 a ft. What was the quanitie ordered?

Chainsaw-send me a PM with what you need. I have lots of material and am always in that direction of town.

Yeah I was gonna contact you again for some round tube. But I also need a source for other things as well, and I usually like to just run in and grab stuff and not have to make orders.

I have a lot of material in stock-usually need to order when people are placing large orders (200ft or so)

Me and a friend are getting a stick of 2x4x1/4 and a sheet of 1/4" plate from farwest. What are you trying to get?

Were already over $200

Specialty Metals in Kent, off Orilla road.

Probably not the cheepest but if you become a regular the salesman/saleswomen will recognise you and start giving you discounts.

They are probably the most service oriented metal supplier around i know of.
