You might check some of your local small farmers for compost.  Just make sure they use organic methods for feeding their animals.

I am in East Vancouver Wa, I have 4 4x4's 12 inches deep being built. Where should I buy my soil ingredients that will hopefully leave money for some veggie starts to put in it as I cooked most of my seedlings leaving them outside with the cover still on 

• Number one destination must be Concentrates, Inc. in Milwaukie, OR.  It's a bit of a drive but it's all on the highway and easy to turn into a day trip, stopping at Bob's Red Mill and Dave's Killer bread while you're out there.  They have the big bags of coarse vermiculite at the best prices. You'll also be able to pick up several different kinds of compost while you're there.
  
• Nearby you've got Yard n' Garden Land on the corner of Hwy 99 and 99th St.  I've purchased OMRI certified peat moss from them.
  
• There's also Shorty's, whose location Ridgefield may be closer to you, for more sources of peat and different composts.  
  
• Walmart always has composts, as well as Big Lots and Fred Meyers.
