Most of the other aisles looked understocked as well, giving the store an overall sparse vibe. Only one employee was visible, working the cashier, and they didn't seem very enthused.

I've been to a lot of pharmacies over the years, and unfortunately it's not uncommon to feel like…read moreyou're just another number. That's why my recent experience at this Walgreens stood out, but also why I feel this review needs to be balanced. We actually transferred our prescriptions here from Safeway a couple of months ago, hoping that a larger pharmacy would be more reliable when it comes to keeping medications in stock. At Safeway, we often found ourselves scrambling to locate another pharmacy because they simply didn't have our medications in stock. Unfortunately, even though we've only been at Walgreens a short time, it has still been a stressful experience. It's very difficult to get through by phone, and there have been multiple times where I've been on hold for 20 minutes only to have the call disconnected. Prescriptions are not always ready when expected, which adds to the stress. We've had moments where we're close to running out of a medication and it's still "in progress," leaving us rushing to the store at the last minute. There also seems to be some kind of disconnect between their fulfillment system and the pharmacy itself. To be fair, this doesn't seem unique to this location. Many pharmacies these days appear to be short staffed and dealing with medication shortages, and it's clear the people working there are doing their best under difficult circumstances. I truly don't believe these issues are the fault of the staff, but rather a reflection of how these companies are being run. That said, the reason I'm giving three stars instead of a lower rating is because of Grant, the pharmacist. He truly went above and beyond to help us with several prescriptions. He was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly kind and genuinely sympathetic. Instead of rushing through things, he took the time to really understand what we needed and jumped right in to help. It was such a refreshing experience and made a stressful situation so much easier. Grant is absolutely the shining light at this location and honestly the reason we're willing to stick around and hope things improve. His level of care and willingness to help is something you don't come across every day, and we're very grateful for him.

WALGREENS @ KIRKLAND…read more Parking is available and had their own parking lot, spacious and has accessible parking on the side of the store. It is also shared with Safeway across. Ordered a bunch of print outs online, realized it was way too big for my liking and the guy at the register happily printed me out a new size that was smaller. Normal aisles, has a lot of items at a normal store. Most of the time it's packed where the pharmacy is, and only one cashier is at the front so it might take time if you're there during a rush. Also came here for an exchange/purchase a new propane tank, the guy came out and helped us, very kind.

However, I usually don't need to wait for a long time when I come here around 2-3pm when it's slow.

I don't understand why that happened when they emailed you about it's ready to be picked up... definitely not READY for sure.. oh well, it's ok when you compare to the other places.

FRED MEYER @ KIRKLAND…read more Parking is available in a huge lot, with handicap spots right out front. It's super accessible, and there's always plenty of space for customers. I've been to this Fred Meyer multiple times, and I always enjoy coming here. The store itself is gigantic, you can find everything from clothing to fresh fruits, veggies, snacks, and so much more. A lot of items are usually on sale, which I love. They always have great deals like "buy two, get one free," and their fruit selection is especially my favorite. They even have a Starbucks inside! The staff is really friendly, and I like that they offer multiple checkout stations. There are two different entrances, and both sides have checkout lanes, plus self-checkout options. It's always a smooth and easy process. Overall, I really enjoy my experience here at Fred Meyer.

I have finally found my forever pharmacy!…read more I had been a customer of Bartell's for many, many years, and was bummed when Rite Aid bought them and more-or-less put them out of business. It took a long while to find a replacement pharmacy, especially one that would honor my insurance. (The latter bit ended up being surprisingly difficult!). Anyway, no problems transferring my prescription to their shop. Their staff walked me through the process and were very helpful. They honored my insurance, so my regular prescription cost me nothing (as it had at Bartell's). Staff was helpful on the phone and in person. I think a lot of people are transferring prescriptions to Katterman's since the pharmacy staff seemed slammed when I went in. But no problems, they took the time to help me. Only confusing bit: you pick up the prescription at a counter at the back of the store, where the pharmacists work. You then take it up to the front counter to "pay" for it, even if you have no co-pay. I think I understand the process now, but the two-step process seemed a little odd (since, again, I owed nothing). But everyone was helpful, so no worries! My new pharmacy! What a relief to have one, and for it to be a nice little local shop.
