I've seen frozen ones at a seemingly random selection of grocery stores--like, Viet Wah, Whole Foods, once at the Seward Park PCC, and the Beacon Hill Red Apple. It's unpredictable.
But pie cherries will be in fresh at the farmers market likely around late July this year--everything is running late. The stands I know that carry them: Little Wing (sells at Columbia City); Tonnemakers (sells at many markets); Mair Taki (U District, quite expensive).
There are also two kinds: Morellos and Montmorenceys. The latter are considered the best, but I strongly prefer the former. Morellos have a beautiful deep red color all the way through and taste sort of like cloves and allspice have been added.
Best of all, coerce a friend with a yard to plant a Surefire cherry tree. They produce quickly, are disease resistant for Western WA, and are Morello-types. And no, you can't have the ones on my tree.
