Cedar chips or shavings can be purchased from bulk soil and gravel companies in areas near cedar logging operations. Near the Renton, Washington, location where you live, several businesses in Buckley, Washington, sell bulk cedar chips. Although I do not name companies on this site, you can use Google to search for 'soil and gravel deliveries in Buckley' to contact the companies. I do love cedar chips for a pathway, especially in the shade. Not only will the cedar pack down, allowing you to use a wheelbarrow easily, but the oil from the cedar also repels weeds and fleas. Please refrain from using cedar as a mulch around plants. It will prevent rainwater from reaching the roots. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
