Where can i get mangosteen in washington?

Question

its probably the best fruit i have ever tried. i went to Bali, Indonesia recently and some locals gave my family a bag full of mangosteen fruit that they had picked themselves (the people there are very nice). they were delicious.i know its probably impossible to grow in washington (unless you have a heated greenhouse or something) but i would just like to know if i could get them anywhere in washington, even if i had to order them online or something. thanks

Good Luck.  Here's the Wiki info:

Due to ongoing restrictions on imports, mangosteen is not commonly available to the public. Following export from its natural growing regions in Southeast Asia, the fresh fruit is available seasonally in some local markets like those of Chinatowns and rarely in produce sections of grocery stores in North America and Europe. Mangosteen and its related products, such as juices and nutritional supplements, are legally imported into the United States which had an import ban until 2007.

There are lots of people offering the juice online....just Google....errr...Yahoo it!
