PDX area: where to get good compost/topsoil?

We bought an old house in NE PDX in the Alberta area. We've managed to remove most of the mountains of old nails, broken glass and the rest of the century's worth of debris out of the yard (this was once a very rough and impoverished part of town).

We're putting in some raised beds but, of course, need some soil to do so. Most of our neighbors have used Mt.Scott Fuel's 4-way soil mix, but to me it looks like one tiny step above concrete - a dense blend of wood chips, sawdust, clay and lots of sand. At the price they're asking, I expect some good luscious black soil. Some of those same neighbors will not be getting product from them ever again.

Any recommendations on other vendors in the Portland, Oregon area? McFarlands? Best Buy?

Thank you for any suggestions.
