I live right in between two Costco Stores. However, I don't go to the one in SODO very often, only when I am in the area. Sometimes, it's really difficult to shop in a different store if you get used to the one you normally go to. However, it wasn't too bad. My friends and I were able to get in and out within 30 mins and got all the things we wanted. read more

Costco - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Long line today after holiday! It's best to get here afterwork during regular day. Weekend doesn't make sense as people usually go to Costco on weekend. There are like 7-8 lanes here so it's big enough to squeeze in right away on, let say, Monday @ 6pm. Costco gas is the same everywhere. It's just a little cheaper than Shell. I would say it's same price as Arco though. But it's just my feeling they have better gas than Arco..lol read more

I love when my grandparents come here shopping . Even though I am 20 I still feel like a big kid whenever I come here, especially when it comes to the samples. My favorite is the food though . Whenever I come I must get a pizza plus churro and my grams usually like the ice read more

Maybe I'll take Alex G's advice and go at 10am on a weekday. Take a day/morning off from work though? Are the bargains that good? Does the crap they sell warrant that, missing work to purchase stuff? Methinks not. As stupendous as the prices are, the throng of people in the parking lot, weaving up and down aisles with shopping carts, or in lines waiting to check out are horrendous. This is all in opposition the feelings I have for Costco's C.E.O. Jim Sinegal and the way he treats his employees (the reason for 3 stars and not 1.5). Sinegal pays himeself $350k/year-or 12 times more than those typically working on the floor. Eat your heart out, other CEO's! According to an ABC news report, workers are paid an average of $17, 40% higher than Sam's Club workers. And if that's not enough, 90% of workers have health-care coverage (not bad for a place that hires a lot of people who attend college) Ahem, I suppose I'll have to keep admiring Costco from a distance to avoid the infestation of popularity that has long since been Costco. UNLESS, that is, I can coral someone into buying what I want.....now THAT'S a novel idea!!!!! read more

Costco - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The employees are so rude. Would not recommend this location to anyone, i used to love coscto till interacting with these people

Love our Costco. Great prices, great selection, fresh food, wonderful pharmacy, clean bathrooms, friendly staff members. Only reason I can't give the fifth star - parking is typically a nightmare. We visit this Costco regularly, and weekdays around 4pm seem to be the best time for us to go after work. Fridays and weekends are generally packed. read more

Costco is doing an excellent job with covid19. The are only allowing a few shoppers in the store at a time. They are wiping the carts They are wiping everything. Love Costco! read more

Reviewing for car wash alone. Car wash sucks. Just ran through and the car is still dirty with scraggly lines where the brushes barely touched the surface of the vehicle. Was there any soap? Who knows, but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say no. No bueno. Don't waste your time with this budget bullshit read more

I love Costco gas! I especially love 'this' Costco because it is open way early (as they all are) and about 3 mins from my work in Georgetown. So I can swing in before the madness sets in and get in and out within 5 minutes. For the most part, people do try to move along quickly but you'll always have those jerks who take forever to fill up their cars and big rigs. The prices are fair and probably the cheapest in the city but the pain is always the debit card only rule. I know it keeps prices down but I hate having to dig around for the one card they'll take. read more

We love this Costco even though we live on the east side. This Costco always having a different selections than the east side ones. We can find some great deals and products only at this location. Also, this is actually a super convenient location close to downtown Seattle where has a huge parking lot. The food court is always our favorite! Costco's food court always providing quality food with super good price. I love their chicken bake, and all the yogurt ice cream. My bad loves their pizza and hotdogs. read more

Costco - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This Costco is pretty much the same as all other Costco's in America. They have your typical everyday essentials in bulk and large gasoline station. Plus side of this particular location is that they have a drive through automated car wash which the line for it can get pretty long during days of warmer weather in Seattle. So be aware of that. It's nice to see that they carry certain types of products catered to the demographic of that area such as Asian food products (bags of rice). Which is great for me since I'm Asian living with a large family. During weekends is almost impossible to find any parking there since the next closest store is in Tukwila and Edmonds, and pretty much everyone in Seattlle funnels to this location. I would highly advise to come during the weekday. At times the food court at this location offer new food items to test the waters, which is cool such as the burger a couple of years ago. The only down side is that all the soda and drinks are sugar free. I'm assuming because of the Seattle sugar tax is why they stopped offering normal soda and drinks. read more

Ideally one of the best Costco locations in the area. Isles are easily placed, staff is extremely friendly and I was easily helped to reactivate my account today so I could shop. Thanks for the safe and clean shopping experience. read more

I love Costco! You can get great passport photos for only $5, pizza slice for $2, gift certificates to places like Starbucks, fancy restaurants, 24-Hour Fitness, for much cheaper than anywhere else. So many great deals! And on the weekends, they always give out free samples, and I fill up on them & then don't have to eat lunch anymore. Am not into the huge crowds though or the long lines at the check out. But everything else is great! read more

As far as the Costco itself goes, it is just like any other Costco. Similar selections, a food court, tire center, and gas. One pro of this Costco is that it has an automated car wash for about $8. Also, at the time of my visit , the price of gas was about 10 cents lower than other nearby Costcos (Kirkland, Redmond, Renton). The biggest downside of this particular Costco is that the parking lot is incredible busy on a weekend. While all Costcos get fairly busy on weekends, this one in particular was tough to drive through compared to other nearby Costcos and had an awkward layout. Gas lines and car wash lines were quite a bit backed up. To leave, you may have to wait in a long line of cars to get onto 4th Ave. read more

Hector in the Tire Center is the man. I was helped by Hector in the tire center - he was the lone man at the desk with some help trickling in here and there. There was an outrageous line, but he didn't rush his customers. If I didn't have more time, that'd normally be an irritation as a line waiter, but Hector took the time to advise his customers and was mindful of his phone queue as well. He made sure that his coworkers answered phones while he helped the queue. Hector was an exceedingly good communicator, and took the time to actually make sure there were no mistakes made by his clients. He gave me several heads up on shortcuts and best practices to have the best experience. Really good guy. read more

I made the mistake of going to Costco on the day before Christmas Eve. The parking lot was jam-packed, it was INSANE!!! I questioned whether or not I really wanted to go in. But I needed to buy some pizza for my crew. Everyone I met was SO friendly and happy, despite the craziness. Especially in the food court. It was a great, crazy experience. Thanks for the great service! read more

Excellent customer service from the food tastings. :) yummy. One thing I do miss from this location is the gelato that they once offered. Three scoops for 1.50$?! Deal. Everything else in the menu is basic. The açaí is no good unless it really suits your tastes. The strawberry sundae is not even offered here anymore. Sad to see that go. Last but not least, perfect place to buy in bulk. It's not a wide selection but cosco does go through strict testing. I've heard from a former friend that when she was making deals with cosco in terms of clothing that there's a huge binder full of regulation for just clothing alone. read more

Not as big as the ones in California. The staff here are nice. Well the ones I've come in contact with. It's clean. No complaints.

Pretty much my second home. I am here at least twice a week and know where almost every item is located by heart. Costco keeps the cost-low and when items i buy go on sale, return policy allows me to get refunded for the difference. Food court is my favorite. Cheap eats that taste great. For $10 you can get a bowl of chili, chicken bake, and hotdog. No other place comes close to this HANDS DOWN!! Costco for the win read more

I always love Costco, this place is evil in that you go for one thing, you come out with a dozen several other stuff you never meant to buy. But then again the deals are so great you can't let it pass you by, and also the quality too! This location is what started it all, its pretty busy, I don't know which times is less hustled and bustled but I would say early morning is always your best bet to come here. Staff is very friendly, as always Costcos are well organized and you'll have to walk a while to find what you need since they sell things in bulk. But its interesting to see all the cool things, and also the little taste stands dont hurt either! read more

Costco - Very easy to fill up a cart when you come in for one thing - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had the worst customer service tgese people are racially profiling me and my family made us leave grab my father to come back and get the card wait the membership line to make sure it his card miss counted our groceries so we had to get stopped at the front door go back ring it back up charges an extra 60 bucks I will never come back here again!!!!! read more

This review is for the tire shop. The only employee helping people helping customers noticeably hated his job. After he told me it would take 3 hours for a tire repair I decided against waiting. He threw the paperwork away. I went to go into the store and realized he didn't give me my card back. He said he didn't have it, wouldn't look in the garbage, and just told me to go get a new one. Worst experience I've ever had at a Costco. Super rude. Save yourself the frustration, go somewhere else. read more

Fantastic Costco with all ancillary services -- tire, carwash, pharmacy, and more. Prepared food selection is expansive, and the chili lime shrimp cocktail has received nothing but praise whenever I serve it. I have to dock one star for the generally long waiting times at checkout and the hot mess of a parking lot with lanes criss-crossing every which way, which makes navigating it a waking nightmare. Moreover, there are times when the entire lot is full. I would avoid Saturday afternoons if possible. read more

Wow, I was shocked by the employees this time around. At the door near returns, the employees checking receipts were yelling across so many customers to our line. Telling us to move up so the line wouldn't go to outside. I understand why they wanted us to keep moving up, but why are you yelling at us? Then as we were leaving we found a line to checkout in, and there was a man with a clipboard yelling at us to find lines that were shorter. When some people didn't budge he just said "Fine wait longer then!". I was in complete shock. THEN we were in the receipt checkout line, and there was a man who yelled out "move the line!!! You're getting backed up!!!" to the employees at the door. I thought they were doing a good job and efficiently checking the receipts. It was so rude to yell at them like that while there were customers present. read more

I just called regarding my account and had the rudest service ever. I had signed up with a groupon after not being a customer for a couple years. I called prior to paying for the groupon (as well as verifying the dates an the groupon that I would be eligible for the coupons and gift card and they said I was eligible and would be sent in the mail. Ivd always had great customer service with Costco, but today NIcci was the rude and unprofessional during my conversation this evening. Poor service! read more

I typically don't like shopping in person and very much prefer doing things online, but Costco is one of the few exceptions that garners my love for in-person shopping experiences. I love that whenever I went shopping Costco, I could feel my eyes widening and my heart beating from my excitement walking though big, long aisles and aisles of quality items at ridiculous prices. What I don't like though is that the place requires membership to shop and that it's quite difficult for single person to shop due to large bulk items (afterall, who needs 1 whole year of mayo tub?); selection is a bit limited..but, hey, if they as long as they have excellent prices, I can't complain much. read more

Everytime I go to this Costco, it's always a zoo. I sometimes go during lunch and I'm always amazed at how full Costco is during regular people's working hours. The food court has the usual food and its cheap prices. $1.50 hotdog with a drink, etc. The parking lot is kind of a mess, and I also don't really like the SODO area in general - railroads, industrial, etc. But there isn't a closer Costco nearby so I guess this will do. read more

the food court there is awesome and the pizza and ice cream is yummy and I like shopping there with my dad

I love this Costco! Always very friendly staff at the door, super helpful throughout the store, and always efficient at the register! The food court has their Kirkland brand gelato too! I recommend the strawberry one. Yum! read more

Rock solid warehouse store. Keep your expectations reasonable. Great for basics and there are often items to discover in the outer aisles.

Absolutely one of the best Costco experiences I have ever had. I found a table I had to have. Anthony was so helpful and patient while helping me load the table. read more

I stopped by here on a Saturday evening around 5 pm. Although it was an hour before closing, the store was very busy. We had come in to buy a few things to make dinner that night, mainly brussels sprouts and ribeye caps. My friend also wanted to buy carrot juice, although this turned out to not be in stock that day. This Costco is laid out pretty much the same way as the other Costcos I've been to in the past. It is smaller in size compared to my hometown Costco, but has a gas station and a car wash, which my Costco does not. We decided to go through the car wash after shopping, as it was really cheap (around $8). My friend had worried that he'd needed to buy the car wash when checking out in the store, but it turned out you could pay for it right before you pull into the wash. The Costco was pretty conveniently located; with Saturday evening traffic, we drove about 18 minutes from the city center to get here. A good Costco with some nice extras. read more

This Costco is good. A lil small and parking is hectic but we're in downtown Seattle so wtf you want? The glasses department is awesome. Good people there. Although, the lack of sandwich meat lately is a bit frustrating but manufactured shortages and all.. read more

This is for their delivery service. It was scheduled to arrive from 3-7. They showed up at ten am. Then I tried to schedule the installer to come in earlier, but then they pushed it out till tomorrow. With no respect for scheduling, I may as well have bought and installed it myself. Less time wasted. read more

It is so much fun shopping at the original Seattle Costco! Technically, the very first location was built across the street, but they tore it down to build this one forever ago. They kept a part of the original store front in tact and put it inside this locations by the registers as an ode to their humble beginnings. The thing I don't like about this location is that the layout is horrible. They stuck a freezer area in the middle of the store plus they have freezers in several other freezer sections around the food. The dairy area is tucked in a back corner. The produce fridge is really obscure too. If you're coming in for a specific item, you will be looking for a long time to find it. The location for this Costco is wonderful, close to downtown but far enough away that you avoid traffic. The parking lot for this store is the biggest I have ever seen at a Costco so you never have to worry about finding a parking spot here. They have Costco gas at this location, in addition to a Costco car wash that costs $8. read more

It's a standard Costco... not much to say. Acres of bulk goods. Along with this is the question that always pops in my head when I go to a Costco -- why no express line? I most often go there to buy one or two items, but have to stand in line behind people with pallets of stuff. I "get" that this place is for large bulk purchases, but there are a heck of a lot of people with one or two items in their hands, too. read more

I have been a frequent Costco customer for nearly 20 years, but I am seriously rethinking about whether to continue to shop there. The issue prompting this reconsideration is the nonresponse of Costco management to my protest message written last Sunday, February 7th, in response to my revulsion after reading Nicholas Kristof's New York Times op-ed column describing Costco's cruelty toward chickens that end up in its rotisserie. I promptly wrote a firm but respectful email message to Craig Jelinek, Costco's president and CEO, protesting the reported inhumane conditions in which Costco's chickens are raised. Now, a full week later, I have heard nothing back. No response disputing Kristof's allegations, no apology with a commitment to improve conditions, not even acknowledgement of my message. I have become an activist in recent years, protesting to a number of executives at different companies about unfair business practices or experiences, and this is the first time I have not gotten a response. As I scanned some of the other reviews before posting mine, it is clear to me that Costco, which used to be a great company, has clearly lost its way. The theme that ran through the other reviews I saw was corporate arrogance. Companies that are highly successful for extended periods, like Costco, often do become arrogant, and that eventually leads to ruin. read more

This is for the blinds. This has been the worst experience! We had them measured 10 days ago and the woman still hasn't put my order in! She keeps saying the system is down. She's now saying the error is insufficient funds which as a banker is impossible with a credit card, it would say declined. Also there is plenty of room on the card......They also have to do everything in person and write down your credit card number on a paper invoice!??! Hello 2001..... read more

I came once and there was a line out the dirt just to get in, I didn't need Costco that bad to wait in that line. I wish they'd hire more long lines, not enough people working. The people working I've dealt with have been pretty nice. The aisles seem smaller and way more cramp then other Costco's. Well the whole warehouse feels much smaller then other Costco's I've been to. Weekend hours close at 6 kinda sucks. What I dislike the most is the parking lot is a zoo. They could use more top signs. You think it's cramp inside mid day the lot is terrible. The one by Southcenter isn't as bad. Using this Costco is ok in a pinch or close but if you can go to Tukwila. read more

My husband made an appointment to repair the flat on his car, since he works during the day I took his car in . Since we don't have a reliable spare car he ran downtown took three buses to get to the east side. I should've waited in line for my 3 o'clock appointment 10 minutes early they help the guy ahead of me who was a walk -in. And told him 3:00. We only had a flat with a spare on with an appointment and it was going to take an hour and a half? Are you serious? This place is the Supercuts of tires. My story isn't rare, this happens all the time. My husband was outraged and I told him "you get what you pay for. Support a small local tire store", I could of literally had this service done in 15 minutes down the street from our house. read more
