Q: Is it even possible to buy #1 or Select Structural grade lumber?

I'm in the Pacific Northwest. Looking for 2x10 joists, I called several hardware stores, lumber yards, even some specialty lumber stores and the best they had was Douglas Fir "#2 and better". No one had #1 or SS. Do they just not make the better grades anymore or is there a special place to look? submitted by /u/EverettWAPerson [link] [comments]
