Living in Boise, Idaho I am somewhat limited to metal selection for my outdoor garden forging. Corten is my choice, and with family in both Portland and Seattle, It’s easy for me to travel than pay a high shipping cost.
Can anyone recommend a Corten supplier in the northwest, or even Salt Lake! Thanks Rick

Hi Rick, My mate in Australia uses this all the time for large sculptures. Bad News is you can't actually buy COR-TEN branded any more in the US. (see this link).
https://www.corten.com/what-is-corten-steel.html
You can however buy ATSM A606-4 and A588 or A847 (thinsheet, Plate, and TUBE/Pipe in That Order) which is essentially Cor-ten specs (see link to explain).

These Guys are in AZ. I haven't tried to buy any at the Portland steelyards up here in NW.
You probably know all this, but the membership might be interested. Cor-ten makes a nice finish for outdoor ironwork.
you might check Steelyard.
