Essentials
Fred Meyer is the closest full-service grocery store that we recommend. It has a nicely laid out grocery section with all organic and health foods consolidated into one area of the store, which is nice because it can really limit how much time and distance needs to be covered to get all the essentials.
It also has a great bulk foods section and the produce is much better than Safeway’s. The store is not crowded and the lines are a lot shorter, too, and the overall shopping experience is more pleasant. We basically recommend avoiding the Safeway on Rainier.
