Hi, I been wanting to get a Nepenthes, but I don't know which one would grow well in my location. I live in Seattle, WA. What kind of Nepenthes would do really well outside?

In your area I think any highlander would be fine. If you want to eventually have a monster of a plant, go with N. truncata. It can handle extreme temperatures rather easily. Just dont let any Nepenthes you get freeze.

The Paisan Truncata is the highland form I believe, I would suggest it.

Ok thank you. One more question, where can I buy it online? or if you know any place in Seattle that would be fine too.

if this is your fist Nepenthes i recommend staying away from N. Truncata as it does require some different needs.
if you are looking for a Nepenthes plant to get ,and get your foot in the door I would recommend a N. Ventrata or a N. Miranda. But if those can not be found have a look at N. Ventricosa, , N. Maxima.
just keep in mind one thing . What works for growing Carnivorous Plant doesn't always work for another.

as daren mentioned, a n. ventricosa would probably be best.

I think a Ventricosa or Sanguinea would work, they are both forgiving plants.
