In this neck of the woods, it depends.  If I head north to the "big 
city" (Eugene), there's nary a drop to be found anywhere.  On the 
other hand, if I go south about the same distance to the little 
rabbit hutch of Creswell, it's easy to find--at least at stores that 
don't also have a Eugene branch.

It turns out that it's due to a toxics reporting law in Eugene.  Most 
stores just don't want to be bothered with it, so don't carry things 
such as MEK (or pretty much any organic solvent stronger than 
acetone).

Like the ad says, your mileage may vary.

Cheers,
