There's a sort of extruded white mostly-rigid plastic board that I  
see a lot on displays or cheap outdoor signs (like towing-company  
notices). Try an art store. It sounds like you're in the U district,  
so try the U bookstore's art department, or the art store on 45th and  
8th (around the corner from the Mac store and the pet store).

For more exotic plastic needs, there's TAP plastics, there's one on  
the east side and one south of Lake Union --- I haven't gone there  
though.
