10% Fred Meyer
10% Trader Joe's
10% Winco
7% Costco
4% Farmers' Market
4% Grocery Outlet
4% Madison Market
4% Rising Sun Farms
4% Walmart

7% AM/PM
7% Arco

Where else do you find yourself shopping at least once a week?

And a few bonus recommendations: a sister in the ward likes Elite Electrology for electrolosys and Angela at Maristella Spa Services for waxing!

For reference, there are two Costcos near our ward boundaries: one at 1175 North 205th Street in Shoreline (north of us) and one at 4401 4th Avenue South in SoDo (south of us). There are two Jo-Ann Fabrics, but the one in Ballard is tiny and not really worth the drive. We'd recommend going to 15236 Aurora Ave N (right on the way to Costco!)
