Grocery Stores in Federal Way, WA

“It's always fun to shop here.. Great prices, the produce and garden section look wonderful and are all reasonably priced. They have very interesting and different selections of food and everything I've ever purchased there has been great. Anytime I'm in the area that they have a Trader Joe's my daughter and I make a point of going in and stocking up on things that we've enjoyed in the past from them.”

“First off I'll just start by saying I am American and not from the middle east. However I've been on a middle eastern food kick lately, trying all kinds of different things and making some new recipes. There are several shops along Pacific Hwy that sell various types of middle eastern foods. I tried this place tonight because they make pizza and kabobs. They are both excellent. The pizza is unlike any other flavors I've tried before, yet still familiar enough to most American style pizzas. It came with ketchup which I found interesting and wouldn't typically use this condiment on pizza, however on this particular pizza I just added a little and it was surprisingly good actually. Somehow the tanginess of the ketchup went with this pizza. Really amazing flavors all around. Perfectly cooked dough, nice and chewy on the crust with lots of crispy bits of cheese.

The kabobs are filling my whole car and house with good smells right now. These are not the same as typical kabobs you might find at a middle eastern style food truck. These are Chapli Kebabs and they are flat, burger shapped patties rather than chunks of meat that are cooked on a skewer. Comes with nice freshly baked bread, very soft and saw lots of people coming into the store just to buy this bread as well.

They have a pretty good selection of all kinds of other random stuff and lots of dried fruits and nuts as well as some Lebanese style cheeses, homemade yogurt, homemade pickles and other things. I don't think Americans typically shop here but they were very kind towards me. You will have to ask them about ordering the food as there really was no menu or anything that I saw. I think most people going here already know what they have/want type of situation, so I'm posting pics of what I ordered just for reference.

Seriously good food and kind people!”

“I like that each store adapts it's inventory to the community in which it's located. We shopped here for Thanksgiving and got almost everything we needed, including a 15-pound turkey for $4. This store is relatively new and really well maintained.”

“More than a convenience market. I Love the availability of genuine Mexican cooking, fresh tortillas, and orders to go.Birria !!! ? Need I say more. But that’s just the beginning of great portions of traditional Frontera cuisine. Today’s stop was for a pot luck for which we bought an 8” round of flan! Photo is what was left after the pot luck for 20!”

My wife and I decided to shop here again. We liked what we saw, and we picked up a few things. Everything was good, so I have upped a star from 3 to 4.

I'm starting to shop here more often now, I wish some cashiers paid attention to the ring-up. I dealt with Gabriella G. earlier today. She rang up my items and then was going to ring up a customer item right behind me at the same time. I told her that it was not mine. No greeting, sorry, or a thank you. I'm not sure if she got any training. Or she just needs to pay attention I guess if no greetings for the customers.

I usually shop at the Grocery Outlet in Federal Way because it’s convenient, and the store has a decent amount of fresh produce, meat, and baked goods.
It’s been a while since I shopped there. I've seen an employee sneaking and following a customer inside and following him out of the store. That was a bit odd despite having cameras all over the store already.

Anyhow, I like the variety of dried products, but I have not been shopping since there was an incident. I stopped by after work and had my Boeing laptop with me. The second I stepped inside the store, one of the employees told me to leave my backpack with them. I didn't think I heard it right, so I said, “Excuse me?" And the lady (manager) said, “You’re not allowed to take the backpack inside the store,” and I had to leave it with them. I immediately left the store. Before I left, I told the manager and her two employees that ‘I was not going to leave my work laptop with them.’ I don't even trust leaving it in my car, let alone with them.

So, for those fellow Boeing employees who shop at this bargain store, take your backpack or laptop home before you shop there. Otherwise, shop elsewhere.”

“Best price produce. Easy and cheap grocerry store. You can get almost every grocerry and house hold things including onshelf medicines. Weelchair accessible store.”

“Open to public. Commonly referred to old name "Cash N Carry" by many. Good, less crowded alternative to Costco for many bulk items. FYI, standard meat is cheaper by lb than even Winco if you're willing to buy in bulk. Sauce, oil, etc is also the cheapest per oz. Definitely a must for BBQ fans. Not everything is the cheapest, though.”

“Just had a drop off for return but staff was helpful. Didn't have time to check the rest of the store out. Will do that next time as long as Google maps figures out left turns with a traffic light are not a "make a slight left"”

“Patty in the bakery went above and beyond with my daughter's birthday cake. She had great communication and it turned out amazing, highly recommend this bakery for any special event.”

“I visited a Seattle fence store and it was a truly satisfying experience! The staff responded kindly, making shopping comfortable and pleasant. The price is reasonable and the quality is excellent, so I want to visit often. I am a member of the Fence VIP Club, so I often order online, but it is a bit disappointing that I cannot earn points at offline stores. Still, I have a pleasant experience every time I visit the store, so I think I will continue to use it!”

“Shout out to Kit. He assisted us with the liquor cabinet. I was indecisive but he was patient and understanding. It's service provided by people like Kit that will keep me coming back.”

“There are a lot of workers there constantly stocking the shelves to keep them full. Their produce section is HUGE. They also have a large fresh and frozen fish department as well as a restaurant area and hot foot to go.”

“The guy who runs this store is very nice my daughter and I shop here alot and even offered us a cold six pack soda instead of the warm ones. I highly recommend this place”

“Stopping by the WinCo Foods on Southwest Campus Drive in Federal Way in the morning on Friday 8 March 2024 (about 8:40 a.m.) and Saturday 9 March 2024 (about 9:50 a.m.), I found available parking not too far from the store entrance and exit both days as well as the aisles well stocked. Prices were clearly visible and the different sections of the store well marked and laid out. I was attending the 2024 Men's Pac-12 Conference Swimming Championships a short ways up the road and stopped by each day for something to eat before each morning session as well as snacks. One morning I went with a pre-spectating sweet of a maple frosted Bavarian cream donut as well as some strawberry filled crêpes for snacking. I enjoyed both items, eating the donut after purchase and snacking on the crêpes across both days. The second day, I went with a deli sandwich for my pre-spectating food, specifically a turkey and Swiss cheese croissant sandwich. The croissant was fluffy and flaky, turkey slightly sweet and cheese creamy. The buttery-ness of the croissant made additional condiments not really necessary (per my tastes). I also got a Cadbury creme egg for a snack, though I ended up eating it the next morning at home. Ilya Kharun had fun with gesturing bunny ears with his hands in relation to this Easter bunny egg. Both days I arrived at the self check out area to find an available station or two. I came a little later on Saturday morning and the parking lot was a little fuller, though I still made it in early enough each day that I did not encounter longer lines.”

“The employees "were" friendly and helpful but sadly they were replaced with self-checkout. The cat ‍ food department is now at a better location inside the store. The selection of cotton and rayon tops for big ladies is sparse. Only 4 stars because the sewing department is gone now. Very disappointing.”

“This is the Wal Mart to go to. It's not over crowded and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They are always going out of their way to help. We are older and they are always willing to take the time to find an item. Thank you.”

“I switched to this Safeway in Fed Way due to a better section of produce. Yet this is a smaller Safeway and doesn't always have the items I need, things are easy to find and quick to get in and out. However, lately the produce has been getting picked over so I must be coming after the big rushes. The big things is they generally only have one register open (if even). The staff however keep pushing customers to use the self check out even when it is a week's worth of groceries when it definitely isn't going to fit in the bag scale. Please, if I ask for a clerk to open a register, please save the customers time and open a register. Thank you.”

“I love Fred Meyers Jewelers and my husband and I get into real trouble in the clearance section pretty regularly! The staff behind the counter are exceptional whether you're buying something extremely economical or priced in the thousands. The quality of the pieces I've purchased have always been great! The lifetime warranty has always been a lifesaver especially if you lose a diamond. Even one of the small ones are expensive to replace. The up front cost is nominal as compared to the price of sizing and/or repair. Given that I am a size 10 and most rings come in a 7, everything I buy has to be sized. This service pays for itself with the first sizing The other fantastic service I use regularly is their layaway. Lifesaver! Especially around birthdays and holidays! Watch their ads as those have some amazing deals especially around the holidays. Keep your eye on the clearance. There are always great deals there as well. Happy hunting.??”

“Great Self-Checkout layout, very quick moving line. Selection is better than any of the other Safeway/Albertsons in range of my home. This location has a pharmacy and deli, with all the trimmings. It's reasonably old but kept in good condition, generally clean in all my visits. Good quality Safeway imo.”

“Hawaii never had a WinCo so it was nice to go for the first time. Love that they're open 24/7, and all the cheap finds! If you're looking for a very convenient, low price grocery store, this might be the place for you. The parking isn't too crazy. The employees all just kind their own business but is happy to help you if you need it. It could be a little crowded sometimes but there's a reason!”

“You can't beat Walmart for having the clothes you need at the discounted prices they charge. My wife found the perfect items for this colder than expected climate. All's good here! Enjoy the many items that they have available to meet your shopping needs!”

“This is the Wal Mart to go to. It's not over crowded and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They are always going out of their way to help. We are older and they are always willing to take the time to find an item. Thank you.”

“It’s Story is so big so nice so fantastic. What a good experience in America. It has a lot of parking that you can park near the entrance or the entrance and you can park a lot of time with no charges. The security is tight always on time. There is a car patrol a lot of people Inside the store there is a lot of commodities that you can get anything at a better price. The self payment is friendly and there is no big linem no Q the assistance shoppers are so nice you can ask them anything and they will tell you where the product you want these. It’s so nice to get served by those people who are so fast and so nice to and kind to the people I like it so much, the location of the store is very convenient for all the roads viable to the entrance. It was nice experience shopping at this Walmart. I really kinda like it and I would recommend anyone to do so however some days a lot of people so you have to wait until they do your payment because some of the self-service checkout are not available, but won’t stay so long in the line so far so good”

“My husband & I have been using this pharmacy for many years & are extremely pleased with the service we receive. The staff members are professional, courteous & friendly. The pharmacists (who seem to always be extremely busy) always take the time to speak with me (both in person & phone calls) about questions/concerns I have about various medicines, etc. I find it shocking that they don't receive 5 ☆'s from all. Perhaps only the disgruntled post reviews...”

“Greg is the best of best customer representatives I have ever experienced. He is as good as Julee whom I gave a top review to in the last time. I can imagine one day he would be promoted so this Fred Meyer store would be even better than now. I always want to thank him, Greg, very calm, kind and excellent guy.”

“This is a Walmart with an actual FABRIC DEPARTMENT and I am here for it! They sell garment fabrics too, not just craft fabrics. The staff are friendly. This is a smaller Walmart which is quite pleasant. They have CHECKERS too! What a nice surprise. Watch out for the bums stealing ice cream bars.”

“I wanted to updated my flu vaccine before going on vacation, but my doctor was unable to fit me in. However, the pharmacy here was able to. I was in and out quickly. Thank you.”

“I love the reasonable prices of the fresh vegetables and the great prices for canned goods, l got a fabulous price for a spiral ham for Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for the good prices when everything is going up! I also love the hummus!!!”

“I’ve been going to this Fred Meyer Jeweler for over 10 years. And my husband just recently upgraded my wedding band. OMG the jeweler Lee made my ring so perfect! ? He did such a great job fusing my old and new ring together. I get butterflies every time I look at it. And Mila was so sweet and helpful. I also love working with Chi and Mark. Thank you for being my “home” Fred Meyer”
