“This is my favorite grocery store hands down. The sweet couple who runs it are delightful. The prices are amazing. They sell local items such as Skagit Valley wheat berries and flour.”
“Very friendly, helpful employees and great prices on produce and many other things, especially for being organic. Keep prices low, quality high and staff amazing and I will be a loyal customer! Thanks for the work you put in to your great service.”
“I wish they would let me move in. I love Trader Joe's! Everything is delicious. The Turkey burgers my wine, cheese puffs, the garlic fries, seafood stew... I can go on...they are all so good. Quality of food is amazing! ”

3925 236th Ave NE, Redmond“Big boxy grocery store on the outskirts of town between Redmond and Fall City, down yon from Sammamish. Like Safeway (same parent), but much less busy on any given day. As slow as they are, you could check out in a jiff with a clerk or by yourself. Store has most everything you would want in groceries and supplies, plus a pharmacy, RedBox (2 kiosks), lottery machine, Starbucks counter, tables near the Starbucks counter, floral, bakery, etc., all arranged rectangularly so you can easily find your way around and eventually out.
Gone are the days when Albertsons used to give you a discount if you wore a Seahawks jersey on gameday. Those were the days! Still they have a good heart for doing business in a friendly easy-going tumbleweeds-rolling along the parking lot howdy-ho sort of way. I'm glad they've finally settled back to being Albertsons after having briefly changed their name to Haggen. That's like Hoover Dam being renamed Boulder Dam, then back to Hoover Dam. Nomenclature can be rough, like trying to keep up with CenturyLink Field or whatever it's called now.
If there is a cactus prick in this rustic picture, it's their fresh meat which sometimes looks green, as if spoiled, particularly those packages that are marked down in price like -30%. I would even hesitate to buy them at -50% because I do not like green eggs and ham, saith Sam I Am and me. They might need to check on their refrigeration. Happy trails to the frozen section instead...”
“A special thank you to the Floral Department for being so friendly and helpful on Valentines Day!! They we're slammed (of course) but took the time to make a brand new arrangement to replace one I was given that had some issues. Not only did they replace it, they made me one of the most beautiful arrangements I've ever seen. Thank you so much! Customer service is extra hard during busy times. ❤️ ?”

33521 Redmond-Fall City Rd SE, Fall City“I visit everyday with my granddaughter and we make the best smoothies with their produce! great sandwiches too! I love their service they have amazing employees and they are very personal and caring!”
“Great great great staff! Good selection of music always playing. They let their younger employees express their individuality (mo-hawks, tattoos). People are always happy to help.”
“Usually there's no line quick and easy to get in and out however the price is a lot more than other stations in the area but then again it is close to the east side/ Redmond”
“My first time visiting a Metropolitan Market and it was great. Every store employee I came across was friendly and super helpful. Their product selection was great. Honestly, I could've spent a couple of hours perusing the products down every aisle.”
“Connie at the guest services went above and beyond !! The floral department was closed and even though it’s not her department she took time out of her busy day to put a beautiful arrangement together for me.. my sister just had neck surgery and I didn’t want to go empty handed! She definitely deserves a raise! Super friendly and so kind. She made my day. Thanks, Connie !”
“Still one of my favorite places to shop; the variety and comprehensive selection makes this an easy one-stop grocery and necessities store. As usual with these kinds of natural-focused groceries the prices are a bit high. The solace is in the peace of mind that the products come from more environmentally and socially responsible sources than the big chains. I do wish there were more wheat-free/gluten-free fresh baked goods. Fancy confections can be purchased anywhere, a store like this would do well to cater more towards the areas big box ignores.”

385 NW Gilman Blvd, Issaquah“I live the food here. I am not big fan of this grocery. I love chicken 65 biryani here. Also samosas are too good. I would recommend to buy non-veg main course the veg.”
“Always has what I need when I run out of ingredients, want a six pack, or just am in the mood for ice cream! Not the biggest store in the Valley but super handy to have in downtown. The cashier/owner is so kind and nice, too!”
“Just visiting family in the area, but shopped at this Albertsons this morning and found it to be neat, clean, with a helpful and efficient staff, and a reasonably good product selection. Prices a little high, but overall a very good experience.”

8250 Railroad Ave, Snoqualmie“Two words: poke bar! I used to frequent this location often a couple-few years back as a dear friend works nearby and it was a handy spot to meat for a quick lunch. Bonus that they have a Subway-style poke bar where you follow the line of poke/toppings goodness in a build-your-own-bowl format. The poke was and is super fresh and delish. Definitely wish this was an option at more Safeways! In general, Safeways are one of my fave chain groceries, as they are almost always clean, well-stocked, and with gorgeous produce sections. The flip side is they are usually more highly priced than other stores, and this location was no exception. Still, for a quick stop for snacks (and poke) while zooming through Snoqualmie on my way up to the Cascades, this one is a winner.”
“THE BEST HOT FOOD Chicken tenders are JUICY The employees are very helpful and friendly, engaged in communicating, NOT like some other places that just treat you like just another number..”
“I usually love Safeway and we do go to this location a lot but this place really needs to hire more people to help with physically checking people out. My largest all time pet peeve is checking myself out at the grocery store. They almost NEVER have anyone working one of their checkout lines. And on the off chance they do one day, the person is never there and you need to call them over. Another pet peeve is that far too often, sale items do not ring up as such. I feel i need to take a picture of ever sale item so I can show it to someone when i check out, then coupled with the fact no one works the checkout line, i often give up and just pay full price because it is too much of a hassle to call them over. That being said the few people that do work the checkout lines are AMAZING and beyond nice. Especially, the older gentleman that always wears a Canada mask. He is always willing to strike up a conversation and help customers.”

4570 Klahanie Dr. SE, Sammamish“I was having a ton of issues with Walgreens which made me move to QFC. Since then I've had the best pharmacy experience probably in my life. The pharmacists kind, efficient, and informative.A huge positive for me was that they are consistent and reliable. Walgreens used to send me on a wild goose chase to not only process my prescription but to have them use the appropriate code to apply insurance. I switched over s little over a year ago to QFC and I haven't had a single issue. Also, although they have a small staff that have been there for a while and they are consistent in their quality of work.Some things that might impact your decision though are their hours. Personally, I'm able to pick up my prescriptions within their hours but not everyone might. Another is that is might be difficult to get them on the phone because they are working so hard but I just give it a few minutes and call back and ao can usually get them then which totally beats the wait time on a call with a larger pharmacy.Tips: be sure to sign up for text notifications as I've found that those are the best way to know the status of your prescription. Also, don't be afraid to call and check in. I've had to call a few times to ask if they could expedite a prescription and thankfully it has never taken longer than 30 minutes for them to fill it.Overall, I give this pharmacy a solid A.”

2902 228th Ave SE, Sammamish“Such a pleasant grocery store that is conveniently located, near other stores you might frequent on your outing (Starbucks, Mail Post, Rite-Aid, Wells Fargo, etc.). Workers here are usually friendly and helpful, and apparently happy with their jobs as you'll recognize the same familiar faces year-round. Items are arranged nice and neat for the most part; prices are competitive. Lightly damaged goods are often reduced in price and can be found throughout the aisles and in unmarked bins near toiletries and kitchen goods. Store contains its own Starbucks kiosk which does allow mobile ordering, so yay. Also available in-store are a Redbox, ATM, lottery, Coinstar, bins to recycle your plastic bags, liquor counter that doubles as Customer Service, and more. Outside are offerings of flowers, plants, and seasonal goods. If there is one thing lacking it's a pharmacy, so sadly minus 1 star for that omission. However there is a Rite-Aid nearby and another QFC with a pharmacy 3.3 miles away in Klahanie. Still happy to shop here and environs on any given day.”

630 228th Ave NE, Sammamish“The manager here is very nice. Very helpful employees. Deli is clean!!! Safeway doesn't sell enough dairy free stuff for me, other than that, this one's great! I shop here often.”
“This is my local convenient store. They have "convenient store prices", but they don't mistreat or try to rip off their customers. No incorrect change. No "hairy eyeball" like you're shoplifting. Good people”
“Very convenient to have a supermarket in walking distance in the community. QFC provides all the typical necessities for living. Fruit, veges and household items and pharmacy”

735 NW Gilman Blvd, Issaquah“Love this Safeway! The shelves are always well stocked and produce is fresh. My husband and I are big fans of the ready meals up at the front. The flower selection is lovely, and I've had good luck with flowers from here lasting a long time”
“Nearest grocery to the densely populated, family-oriented Redmond Ridge -- making it very convenient for folks on Novelty Hill.Has Pharmacy, great grocery selection, Orca Cards, Organic and local produce. Quality of produce is one of the best around here.This is our go to store!”
“This place has the best staff of any grocery store I have been to. The are amazing. The only thing I would say, is the meat department is always lacking. I work for a large restaurant cooperation and I understand the "supply" issue. There is no issue anymore. I must say, go to any other grocery store and the selection is way better and more consistent. We would shop there more if the had more or better selection. I don't want to go to duvall Safeway or the fall city market because this would be way more convenient but I do when your out which is often. Thanks for taking the time to read this email.”
