Strip: Where to buy cedar

Can someone tell me where I can buy cedar strips or cedar lumber for building a kayak? I live in Tacoma Washington and the only clear straight grain lumber I can find they want $10.10 a board foot. And I still have to rip it myself. It seems as thought clear cedar just doesn't exist int the north west. I have been looking for a source for 5 months and I am so frustrated I am ready to abandon the whole project. I tried tight knot cedar but it breaks to easily at the knots.
