I love that this store carries all my "drugstore" needs. Like today I was searching for a hot water bottle (every 30-something woman needs one, right?) and every other place I went did not carry them. I go to Walgreens and of course, they stock them! Walgreens, keeping the old lady in all of us satisfied! The real reason this store gets 5 stars from me is because they always have Russell Stover Coconut Clusters. I love those chocolates in an unholy way. I don't even care that they charge $5 for a tiny box of them, they are just like little discs of ecstasy in my mouth. I like the location of this store because it's on Woodinville-Duvall road, so every time I go to Woodinville I pass it. Thus, every time I go to Woodinville I end up getting a box of coconut clusters. Thus, every time I go to Woodinville I gain a pound. The staff are all very friendly and the prices aren't terrible. The only weird thing about this store is occasional methheads ruining merchandise. Example: today I also bought some steel wool sponges for my cast iron pans. I didn't check the packaging that close in the store but when I came home I noticed it was torn open already in a not obvious way. A chunk of the steel wool was either ripped or cut off, a habit I know crack/meth addicts do because they need a filter to smoke their drugs. In NY, they keep steel wool often behind the cash register for this reason, to keep drug addicts from ruining/stealing it. Such a sad world we live in. It's not really Walgreens fault, I should have inspected the package before I bought it. It was mildly annoying. I still love Walgreens and their ability to keep me fat by always stocking those yummy coconut clusters.

But my favorite thing about this walgreens are the folks working the pharmacy. Very kind, friendly, and quick service. Pharmacy will call often to remind to pick up medication.

I imagine that these reminders are also helpful to those who may be suffering from dementia, or just those who are busy/forgetful in general. All in all, a great walgreens and a great pharmacy!

They were sold out on some of the more seasonal items such as caramels. So I decided to go with a small pack (3 pieces) of Almond Roca and a KitKat Duos strawberry and dark chocolate bar. When the cashier rang the items up, the Almond Roca came in at $0.74, it had been a while since I got this quantity of the product packaged this way for that price. The parking lot was moderately easy to maneuver in and the store front was easy to spot. Workers in the store were friendly, even greeting customers as we entered the store. The checkout line was easy to find and payment straightforward. I liked/appreciated the welcome sign inside the front door with the name of the shopping center the store was located in.

The main pharmacist has been very helpful when I've asked for help/suggestions when medications have run out at this Bartells location.

Also, the pharmacy staff in general seems much happier and helpful than a few years ago. If I knew names then I would give a shout out! Instead I'll say, "go say hello to Gary at QFC! He's a very nice guy!"

They genuinely care. You're treated like a person, not a number. Prescriptions are handled promptly and accurately, communication is clear, and the team consistently goes out of their way to be helpful and kind. It's the kind of service you don't realize you've been missing until you experience it. Being local makes a huge difference. The staff knows their customers, takes the time to answer questions, and creates an experience that feels personal and trustworthy--something that's become far too rare in healthcare. The team is fantastic, the service is reliable, and the overall experience restores your faith in what a pharmacy should be. I couldn't recommend Woodinville Pharmacy more highly.

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.

Rite Aid has never made an error with my prescriptions, never overcharged me, or flogged me off. It's heartbreaking to see so many jobs lost and the glut of vacant stores. All due as a result of corporate failures. I was shocked when Rite Aid moved to acquire Bartells. They were in no position to burden themselves with more debt and responsibilities. Rite Aid acquired Thrifty Payless after Thrifty tried to borrow their way out of trouble. Rite Aid knew better than to repeat that mistake. They literally witnessed and took advantage of Thrifty foolishly burdening the struggling company with more debt buying out virtually bankrupt Thrifty Payless/Pay-N-Save. It is impossible to borrow you way out of debt without a viable plan. Expanding the footprint of struggle stores only results in rapid collapse. I don't know how the acquisition of Bartells went through. Two struggling pharmacy chains - drowing in debt, with suppliers cutting them off, are supposed to magically merge into a debt free company? Nope. A 10 yo peeking at their books would have said this is insanity. Especially given the state and demands of their aging stores and seriously burdensome payroll demands exacerbated by pandemic induced record inflation. Add to this consumers shifting to free delivery of copay free meds via insurance company subsidiary pharmacies, cheaper meds with free delivery via Walmart, Amazon, and others, and the general shift away from brick and mortar. Without significant investment in home delivery, Rite Aid could never climb out of their debt hole. The financials and operations at CVS are unknown to me. What I do know is, If they do not have the infrastructure to provide free home delivery at competitive prices, I do not see their standalone drugs store surviving. Consumer loyalty has given way to convenient and cheapest. Which to most under 40 is Amazon, and to a lesser degree Walmart. Tragically, Amazon can afford to undercut everyone. Regulators need to break Amazon up. They're destroying local economies. I'll save that for later.. afterall this is a review of now defunct Rite Aid. Haha

They said I should call around to different pharmacies because the medication was not common. I spent around 2 hours calling 9 pharmacies, both regular and compounding. Most didn't know what it was, didn't have it and couldn't order it for me. One told me what I was asking was impossible. Another told me I needed to call the veterinarian and ask them to prescribe something else (which I did but was told there was no substitute). Finally I called Kirkland Compounding Pharmacy and Natalie was the first pharmacist who knew the medication without me having to spell it and said, "I can help you with that." When she heard the dosage, she immediately asked how big my dog was, and then recommended splitting the dosage between 2 capsules because one large capsule would create a choking hazard for a dog his size. She also had a lot of knowledge in general about the medication and its availability. I emailed her a photo of the prescription and she called me back shortly to finalize what I needed. She even stayed after hours to fill my order because she knew the medication was important for my dog's health and wanted me to have it first thing in the morning. I've used other compounding pharmacies in the past who were all fine, but without a doubt I will now go to Kirkland Compounding Pharmacy first. Natalie is so knowledgeable and caring!
