So, I normally buy from Home Depot or Lowes, however, am having a problem finding any tan or desert color sand in the south eastern side of Portland. I am used to buying on the west side. I am a newbie to the east side.

Anyone know anywhere to get some tan or desert color sand in the area? Willing to drive a little ways for it!

Silica, or standard sand blasting or paving sand works great in aquariums. However, is sometimes hard to find in any color other than white, black or grey.

I have found these places:
Mutual Materials - Clackamas
All about stone - SE Portland ( but only have grey, black and white)

Thanks for any help!

UPDATE: Just went ahead and went to "The Wet Spot Tropical Fish" in Portland and got 50 lbs of tan sand aka pool filter sand, for $25. it is 50 cent a lb there. not too bad. Still cheaper if you can find it at a local home improvement store, but everyone seems to be out of pool filter sand right now.
