Tim, the Seattle area Costcos no longer carry the battery you want, a Group 41. Nor do they carry the alternatives like a Group 91 or 42. BUT Walmart does. I just had to replace my starting battery (in the middle of a trip) and Walmart had group 41/s in stock. But Wait, there's more. I might have a special deal for you. I will be going today to Budget Battery where I got the battery that failed and exercise the warranty. Since I already have the replacement from Walmart I'll probably end up with a brand new Group 41 that I don't need. So I'm here in Lynnwood and by this afternoon may well have a new battery for sale at a great price. Stay tuned....
