I ended up driving out of state to get one.
I was told at a Pierce County hydro store that the can carbon filters were not being allowed to be sold because the authorities figure they can only be used for one thing. Growing marijuana.

Another store operatior in Pierce County said the law or whatever the State Legislature passed will not stand in court and that eventually the filters should be sold again. No time line was mentioned.

I searched and searched the State Legislature's web site for a RCW that would explain this ruling/action. I could find none. Asking business operators didn't get me far.
