“This place is glorious. I am eternally grateful that this store is here, it is very personal and friendly, they have breakfast pastries that are fresh everyday, good coffee, a little pricey on most things, but your supporting the most local store in town!! They're open 7 days a week, and even until 7:00 on Sunday.”
“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. ❤️ ?”
“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.”
“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 !”
“Starbucks denied me because I had cash and wasn't white enough to use cash. So I took my money to this wonderful gas station and got me a can of coffee wayyyyy better then that dribble they call Starbucks.
Nicholas and Andrew are the chillest guys around here. Great service ?.”
“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.”
“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!”
“This store ROCKS!!! NEW MANAGER CORY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO ASSIST ME TODAY!!! Just when I gave up on having a good birthday......cory saved the day!!! Thank you so much!!”
“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..”

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.”
“It's a Safeway. Not the biggest Safeway, but they still have a decent selection of most things. Worth noting at this Safeway is that the deli food tends to be very fresh. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I have noticed that on a regular basis mini items will be out of stock. In particular, I'm a huge fan/addict of extra toasty cheese it's, and 3 out of 4 times that I'm in the store, they are out of them. Meat counter is great, bakery goods are fresh and tasty, this is my go to market.”
“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.”
“A good spot for picking up supplies for the next couple of days, this is a decent Safeway with a nice deli. I found the store to be tidy and reasonably stocked this afternoon with no problem finding drinks, cheese and such so that I have what I need. The men's room was in good shape and my self-checkout worked just fine. I'm not a member of their customer pricing club but if you try Jesse's number with some distant area code, it worked for me. [Review 20857 overall - 114 in Washington - 1841 of 2023.]”
“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”

460 E North Bend Way, North Bend“We stopped here for fuel. It's easy access of the interstate. Never been through the area except at 70mph. Such a nice little town and the market was great. So many options inside for snacks, drinks and food. Large area for alcohol is available too. Love one dat to come back and visit the casino and stay there. If you need to use the toilet the door code is posted at the front counter.”
“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.”
“I worked here for about 5 years. It's a good store that has most everything you'd need. Granted it may be a little pricey for some items, but hey it beats driving into town. They have a great selection of craft beers, and more variety of candy than most places you'll stop at. The deli food is always a good option if your hungry and in a hurry. Stop in and try a pizza boat, you'll be glad you did.Overall it's a good store that helps give the area a small community vibe. You won't find a better store within 5 miles of any direction that's a guarantee!”
“these are some of the nicest hard working people I know. I'm the neighbor across the street , and they always have fresh food(except Sunday) and fresh coffee. along with a positive friendly attitude , i go multiple times a day and have been for some time.”
“I do the majority of my shopping here and I have never had a problem. Worst case scenario, you have to wait a minute or two to use the self-checkout. Every employee I have interacted with through my years of shopping here has been friendly and more than willing to help with anything. The staff really does make the store that much better.”
“QFC in Klahanie is my go-to grocery store! The staff is always so friendly and polite, making each visit enjoyable. The store is clean, well-stocked, and has a great selection of fresh produce and quality products. Their prices are fair, and I love how helpful the employees are whenever I have a question or need assistance. It’s a convenient and pleasant shopping experience every time. Highly recommend!”
“Nice and small family owned business by the look of things. Been stopping by here almost every other day since the start of the pandemic. Friendly staff and they remember regulars, even ask how I'm doing which in my experience is rare. Quick and easy in n out spot for sure. Only thing I don't like is the shared bathroom for the entire complex, being in a commercial cleaning company I'd recommend finding a better cleaner. Other than that I'm gonna keep coming here”
