Safeway

HOLY SKETCHY SAFEWAY BATMAN! Yeah don’t go here. Abort mission! Creepy people here who follow you out to your car and stand behind you at the ATM and watch you as you shop/​pay! Creep alert! OMG just don’t go here. Unless you’re a huge body builder because the creeps might not target you. But most of us aren’t; so go down the street to Fred Meyer.

Cleanest safeway I have ever been in. Prices are good, shiny floors, it felt classy, and boy was this place busy. People were shopping for their monthly stuff, being the first week of the month, carts were overloaded and stuff was getting smashed, has nothing to do with Safeway, other than presenting items you want in a way, you have to have it. I wanted 3 items, left with 8. That says, I needed more, because it looked too good to leave in the store for someone else type of shopping. Beware of credit cards, leave it at home, or you will shop here, and that’s a good thing for SafeWay! Good job guys! Keep this place neat and gorgeous.

My family and I have lived in this area from 1967 and have seen this store through some ups and downs. Right now they seem to be in a downward spiral.
On numerous occasions the meat, chicken and seafood ended up spoiled before the use/​freeze by dates. Also have had the same thing with the produce but not as frequent.
After this last return on chicken thigh meat I’m going to give Haggen’s in Burien a try.
Wish these reviews actually got to the upper management level in the corporation to made some positive changes.

I always found it clean and orderly. I’ve also found most food items there were good quality. I went in only after 9 – 5 work-​hours and never experienced any of the negatives other have described.

My 1^st four star for a Safeway simply because it’s 24 hours lol. Seriously, back home, none of them are. Accidentally dropped in because was looking for a ‘quick’ place to drop by to buy fruits from the I-​5 but from the GPS, it made it look like it was close but totally regretted it, so many twists and turns, easily a 10-​min detour but I digress.
Nice clean store, with the produce and washrooms on the right ;)
Also a Starbucks here too.

It’s pretty much on point with any other local location in a diverse area. With these locations, night and day can also be like flipping a coin; one side is heads and one side is tails.

My visit: Just stopping in for the usual munchies. This felt like a slightly bigger store and selection; a smidge, maybe. The sole cashier late post-​dinner was meh. And some self-​checkout stations were OOO… (Zzz).

It’s a Safeway like any else. Good selection of every day grocery staples as well as health and beauty, cleaning, and pharmaceutical products at fair prices. I choose Safeway over Albertsons, QFC and other grocery stores any day because of convienience, cost, cleansliness and customer service. Oh and the deli. Their deli is good!
A few warnings if you will about this particular location: if you come after ten the lines can be long (the workers get pretty busy) most product restocking and organizing happens overnight and cashiers tend to do double duty so you may need to look for an employee if there isn’t someone readily available at the checking stations (be patient and kind) and the probability of you getting run over by some delinquent running out the door with shoplifted alcohol increases in the moonlight hours. Yes the patrons can be a little on the sketchy side, but what do you expect from a 24 hr Safeway off Pac Hwy?
All in all, Safeway is great. If you can, go on a Friday because they have special deals. And download the Just for U app if you like even more deals. That’s right, you don’t have to be a part of the Extreme Couponing craze to save yourself some green.
P. S. Shoutout to my girl Olivey, my favorite cashier :)

This location is 150 ft. off of my property and I will no longer shop here for anything again. Over the last year my husband and I had started to shop here strictly for the convenience, but that isn’t happening anymore. Once again on Saturday morning we were served raw, undercooked and frozen food from the deli here. When I brought the issue up to the Manager on Duty Jason, he looked at me like well what would you like me to do about it. This is at least the 4^th or 5^th time we have had a major food safety issue with the store’s deli. Over the summer when we picked up some fried chicken and potato salad to take to friends house, 2 of the pieces of chicken were raw in the middle and the salad smelled like it had been left under a heat lamp and the salad rotted at some point a couple days before. It’s not just the deli that is an issue here. The produce department isn’t any better. More often than not I would find rotten, moldy, or produce that was so bad, my finger would go right through it. There was one day I went through at least 50 English cucumbers for my guinea pigs before I finally found one that was acceptable and when I took the bad ones to the produce manager, he said nothing and took them right back out to the display area to sell them. The store management is the hand down worst I have ever dealt with too. I love when I would call to ask to speak to the store manager about and issue, and I would get told she is on Vacation, only to see her when I when I walk through the door. Talk about avoiding the issue. Store Management doesn’t care nor does there corporate office who gave me the run around for 45 min this morning.
What concerns me is that there are a lot of patron’s to this location who don’t speak English and have no way to communicate there frustrations about things like this. As far as the employee mentality of, «well we are union», that needs to stop. Begin union doesn’t mean you can cut corners, serve raw food and be just another reason that the store is going down hill. I was glad I was able to notify someone at the health department about the food safety issues going on. Hopefully that gets the attention of someone at the corporate office that the current store management doesn’t care about the customers or if they serve the public raw, frozen or undercooked food.

I come here a lot late nights to go grocery shopping because we are lazy to do it during the busy day. Its a regular safeway nothing of the WOW factor, you can find all the basic needs for a kitchen. The staff is okay, could be more helpful but I mean I come at night so all the staff is working a graveyard shift, meaning they dont really want to work with a lot of people. Overall its just another safeway, its okay.

Located in Seatac area. I can always find what I’m looking for. The staff are friendly especially at the deli counter. I usually go grocery shopping during off hours so I never have to wait in a long line.
Huge hill going up 42^nd st and store is hard to access on snow days.

This safeway lacks in many ways. I only give it two stars because I’ve only encountered maybe two nice employees. Otherwise, only stop here if you have little choice.

This place is horrible and treated me horribly. I was in the neighborhood for an appt., and I stopped in to get a free birthday drink at their Starbucks with my Starbucks coupon. This was sent to me in the mail. The little birthday part says on the side that that is the coupoin part and I tore that part off and gave it to them, like one would a regular coupon.
When I went up to the girl in the coffe store, (Regrettably, I did not get their names in my upset state, whichi iwll not do again.) she was SO RUDE and SO OFF PUTTING as she said I needed the entire postcard. She DID NOT greet me, DID NOT say hello, and then found a manager before I had a chance to complain, b/​c she knew what I was about to do, and he sat there and sided with them. He was a complete jack… and has no concept of customer service and all and he told me while he looked me up and down in a degrading manner: «Ma’am, that is our policy.» Well, I do not care if it is their policy to treat people badly, but I still should have gotten my drink. I also told him that as someone who works as a Top Customer Service Rep for a VERY big company, that I did not understand the treatment and that I was simply trying to redeem my birthday coupon, which is no skin off their back. And I told them there are some times when you break policy. He was HORRIBLE to me and said if I did not like it to go somewhere else.
I am DISGUSTED that I was treated this way at a Starbucks of all places and I am angry and upset that I not only walked out of there angry, but I did not get what I came in there for and I as demeaned and degraded.

The lines are hell. It’s one of those places where people screw around and do favors for each other. «Uuh Maria I don’t know how to do XYZ, could you come to customer service?» «Uh, Stacy could you come to floral?»
And They leave the register eight carts deep. It’s really sucky here.

A good, solid Safeway store with a wide selection of produce and food items, flowers and more! Love the self checkout machines. ;) It has pretty much what you’d expect in your neighborhood grocery store with plenty of parking out front.

This Safeway was actually remodeled just a few years ago and is fine. They have a good selection of most things, but not the yuppie items that one might find in Bellevue or Seattle. This is a working class Safeway in a working class grocery store. They do have a lot of good, pre-​prepared items that are good, a Starbucks, a good bakery that makes great birthday cakes and breads, and a serviceable wine and beer selection. This neighborhood is very diverse and a trip on the weekend feels like a visit to the UN, so if you have some kind of hang-​up about that you might want to stay in your lily white suburb.
