Ashford Valley Grocery — Local services in Graham

A short stop just before mt Rainer park, this place has what you might expect from a small store near a national park.complete with park prices.while ridiculously expensive, who even cares when you consider the mountain you can climb before leaving town. The first bona fide UFO report was made near here by Kenneth Arnold back in 1946.i believe 9 crafts "skipping" like a saucer over water was his description.

The woman behind the counter was pretty condescending and rude to my friend and I and then double charged my credit card as "Ashford Valley Grocery" and then as "Ashford Grocery Store."

The owners need to wake up to how awful their staff...
