Olympian cultivar

Hi All,
Any idea what happened to this cultivar? I've seen mention across the web but nothing recent. As someone who lives just south of San Francisco, this variety sounded promising given our cooler climate.
Thanks for any insight...

A friend sent me a small plant last week. So it will be a couple years before I have plants available.

It is supposed to be an excellent cool weather variety, which originated in the PNW.

Apparently, though not advertised on their website, Burnt Ridge Nursery sells them. I just ordered 2, 1-gallon sized trees today and hope to see them next week.

See Raintree

I just independently bought me one!
[Apparently it is rare - limit purchase is 1.]

This happened while I was checking why I have
not yet received my Sultane fig from Raintree
(answer: it is scheduled for Spring 2014).

I was about to start a new thread about the Olympian (I just liked it),
but a quick search showed 2 more threads already existing here,
this one; and:

Last summer, we did visit Olympia WA.
A very scenic drive from (staying) in Seattle.
One good memorable stop we did was in Sequim,
at the Purple Haze Lavender farm:
