TheWoWDBI found the trader right outside the garrison entrance (level 3 if it matters) near the tree and big rock. The quest radius appeared to be a bit off. You'll see the green ZZZ's appearing over her head.

Description
To pass the time, traders have been known to consume beverages of an inspired nature, if you know what I mean. Sometimes, they drink a bit too much. Your trader might have stumbled beyond the gates and passed out under a tree. It's been known to happen from time to time. Luckily, I have a brew that I use to rouse groggy traders. One splash and I find they're more willing to work.
