Jim,

WNPS, <https://www.wnps.org/> the Washington Native Plant Society, is
another source of information. Here's a link
<https://wnps.org/content//documents/plants/gardening/native-plant-seed-source-32021.pdf>
to native plants and seed sources from their website. There are also plant
lists by habitat.
The local chapter for Burlington is called Salal. They have a big native
plant sale each spring - maybe there will be one in the fall, too. Just put
your name on the mailing list at this link. <https://www.wnps.org/salal>
They do the sales at the Discovery Garden just west of Mt. Vernon, which
should be convenient for you.
