Star Ice & Fuel

We had been gone three weeks and came home to one of the worst heat waves I’ve seen in the NW, and I was born here almost 50 yrs ago. As the heat had been high for awhile already, cooling devices were all bought up so we decided on two DIY cooler. We purchased the bucket and pipes and headed to Star for ice. Our preference was block ice but their machine had been down for a few days so we got big bags. When we were getting ready to leave the woman stopped us to offer us the first two blocks off the repaired machine. With the heat we’ve seen, those blocks have lasted longer and we appreciate her help. We’ll be heading back to them today for more!

It takes a lot for me to write a poor review because I am a business owner myself but here goes. I have been a customer of theirs for years and I have had off and on trouble with timely deliveries of ice. This time it’s to the point I am ordering from a dif company. They are three weeks late on my delivery and still can not even give me an estimated day that I will get ice. To top it off, every time I politely call and ask I am treated poorly. The last girl said…“can’t you just go to the store and buy some ice!” I run an espresso stand and we go through 20 bags a day. So NO I can’t just go buy a bag of ice. So sad.

This is a hidden gem for cheap propane fuel.
I’ve been spending almost over $ 18 to switch out my 40lb tank for my grill twice a summer at Lowe’s…No More.
On this particular day, I called them to find out how much it cost to refill my tank.
Get this…$ 12.95 plus tax. Well well well… isn’t that just dandy.
This is my ‘go to’ place for my refills now.
You pay inside the office first, then they have someone come fill the tank for you. They won’t allow you to do it yourself which is fine by me. I don’t like messing with gas much anyway.
End cost was $ 13 dollars and change for a fill. Savings is just over $ 5 which is a no brainer.
Location is in Federal Way heading towards Tacoma down HWY 99 on the left before you get to the 70^th street signal. If you’ve reached the RV place, you’re way too far. You can’t miss the building up a little on a small hill but you could possibly miss the road you need to turn in. I did and had to turn around and I have passed this place hundreds of times.
Get your propane here if you live within a few miles. It’s worth the savings.
