 I don't know how widely they are available, but at least up here, fall raspberries are currently in season.  It's possible you might be able to find some, even in LA, that aren't shipped from halfway around the world.  Keep them dry and they'll last at least a couple of days.  Look on the bottom of the container to make sure no juice is oozing.
 
 I'm not a huge fan of dried berries.

But I stick with my position that frozen would beat dried for use in pancakes/waffles.
