Concentrated variety Usually half-empty parking. At one place you have got reputable car mechanic shop (Auto Clinique, across the road) and two somewhat unique shopping opportunities to experience while waiting for you car to be repaired. QFC shopping, while unassuming, has some unique products at interesting prices (as large sized bison meat, vegenaise, some organic stuff, and so on). They also have a rewards card of some kind, so you might consider this instead of Safeway [they also provide discounted already gas station with some rewards there, like Safeway]. If you are new to the area (or just haven't been to this kind of a store) - you must browse Coastal store near. Throw in a jar HomeDepot, refined extract out of a Walmart consisting of a dozen shoe rows, tourist/hunter/rugged attire outlet, add a WHOLE TWO ROWS of cowboy boots; section of military stuff, iron cast stoves and grills, smoker; dog, cat, horse feed; sturdy toys; sprinkle with a RELIABLE kayak or two, paintball equipment, all kind of generators, car stuff (select few things, you just do not SEE at an auto parts store); end it all with a selection of FINE saddles and 20+ types of Stanley thermoses - and you have yourselves a museum experience, even if you do not get anything. Although I do not see HOW you can leave without getting either a cowboy hat or cowGIRL outfit. Even if JUST for tonight's play... P.S. Do not forget to fill up at low...

They showed me the aisle and directed me to what I needed. I then placed the item in the cart and browsed. I was surprised at their inventory of items. I have other projects for my home, I definitely will return. Prices were comparable to other places and less then another store that had the same brand and model sump pump. I would recommend Coastal...

AND my #1 reason is they have good looking, fresh fruits and veggies. Safeway has gone a few steps back in that dept. They've let their grapes go rotten, bagged lettuce-wilted and brown, apples look ran over. But, QFC has a higher standard for quality. I'll pay a few more...
