I have a love-hate relationship with Fred Meyer. I love that they have everything I need at cheap prices. I hate that I can't seem to get out of there without spending $200 on groceries. For my 2 person household. SERIOUSLY?? Stop having such great deals, Fred Meyer. It's not OK. read more

This store has a large parking lot but does not have enough handicapped parking! I take my 89 year old mother shopping there weekly and she has limited mobility and limited sight and we rarely can find an available handicapped parking space. read more

We shopped at this location for many years when we lived in Lake City, at one point we could see it from our front door, lol.I shopped here almost daily and I loved having everything my family needed in one place. Sure the customer service isn't always the best...but seriously how friendly would you be all the time if you had to deal with some of the shoppers they deal with? Yes, it's always super crowded, any time, any day of the week and that was one thing that drove me crazy sometimes but we could always find what we were looking for and they have reasonable prices...not Target or WalMart prices but decent just the same. I miss living so close. read more

I live right across the street and walk through this place everyday on my way back from work. So I visit this place a lot. I just wanted to point out it was funny how some of the out of area people didnt even know there was an upstairs! Ha. But most of the employes here are friendly, some seem depressed. The guys in the electronics department are the best! Very helpful; they will find what you need in a instant. Most of the stuff here is overpriced and I only buy stuff from here if I really need it or I have a coupon. But they have quality products. Also a great staff at the deli, great food there. read more

I shop here quite often and I must say I do love it! the only thing missing is a jewelry department. I think this is the first Fred Meyer I have ever been in that doesn't have one? read more

This place is a good place to get groceries and ice cream from the freezer isle they have a lot of ice cream in the frozen goods isle. They also have frozen pies. So come on down to Fred Meyer! read more

Ok i love Fred Meyers because of the location, great customer friendly service, Very close to home but i don't want to say anything on working there. Anyways for all those who are happy as i am shopping here, it's a great place to shop! :) everything you need and they also follow holidays (changes in store) like Christmas, Halloween etc. Rock on! read more

I love this store, always fresh produce and friendly staff at the cash register, fruit and fish departments. The only thing that turns me off is that I'm scared to buy their delicious cheese! The look on the lady's face tells you: F*ck off, and don't bother me. Is it only my experience? Maybe I should try one more time, or just find out when her days off are so I can get my cheese lol. read more

The Grocery Outlet is open, as of a year ago, so I don't have too many reasons to take the trek up to Fred Meyer. However, I still find myself coming here occasionally, which means they must be doing something right. Maybe it's because they are the only store in the Lake City area with a halfway decent bulk section. Still waiting for a Trader Joe's... I still recommend going on "off" hours to avoid the crowds. It's a jungle in there! read more

I go here pretty frequently to get groceries. It's pretty big which is nice. It's always SO BUSY though! It's pretty clean and organized which is good and sometimes they have pretty good clearance which is nice. I wouldn't go here at night though due to the part of town it's in and the parking lot can get to be pretty sketchy but other than that, no complaints read more

I've shopped at this Lake City FM as well as Greenwood, Ballard & Shoreline FMs, all nearby, for decades. Self check is the slowest of the group. Store is the least clean such as floors; price tags with plastic holding strips on the floor as well as fallen shelf items. Cart area is not clean & hand baskets tend to be hidden behind security devices at doors. Positive is FM prices are the lowest of any grocery store in greater Seattle area (with coupons or discounts you get Costco numbers). read more

This Fred Meyer is always crowded and obviously popular, because they have everything (grocery, clothing, hardware, electronics, household), it really is a one-stop shopping store, and the staff are always friendly. But I don't think this store has been remodeled in decades. The floors are a depressing brown and beige, the carpets in the entryway are old, dark brown, frayed, and always dirty and the walls and ceiling look yellow with age. The deli showcase windows are outdated and the food inside often looks questionable. The prices throughout the store are sometimes a bargain, but sometimes overpriced for the quality of the item. Why can't Fred Meyer spend a litte money to upgrade this store? read more

This is a decent store that's really no better or worse than other places like it, and the employees there don't deserve the negative review I'm about to give because this happened a few years ago and I don't even know if the suit I butted heads with even works there anymore. Have you ever had to deal with clueless middle management types who act like a big fish in a small pond despite not knowing much about anything? That happened to me when I brought in my receipt one day and tried to get a price match on something I had already purchased from the electronics department (never had a problem doing this at other Fred Meyers and in a moment I'll tell you why). The CSR at the return desk was clueless so she called up a middle management suit who was adamant that they couldn't do anything like that, that price matches are only good at the time of purchase and he could get fired if he allowed it. Never mind there's a big freaking sign in the electronics department that says they'll price match anything within 30 days of purchase if you find it cheaper elsewhere!!! So I left and got my price match at another Fred Meyer without any hassle from a return desk CSR who was actually competent at his job. read more

Screw this store and let this horrible retail chain be put to rest. It's 2014 and you still don't have a website that shows what your store stocks? I don't know what to say besides... wow. I called and asked if this store had plastic non-cushioned toilet seats and was told that they carry a wide variety after the person I was on the phone with personally checked out their selection, even giving me brand names. Upon arriving at this particular store however and checking their plumbing department I find out to my surprise that they don't carry a single toilet seat to the specifications I asked about. Frustrated, I asked to file a complaint with the store but instead the current manager "of 13 years" came down to check things out. Of course upon further inspection of the toilet seats he came to the same conclusion which was that they only carry wood. He also mentioned he would have told me over the phone that, "I probably would have told you we have plastic ones as well." Now confirming and admitting both the employee and managers ignorance, proceeds to do nothing about the situation. He, by word of mouth, offered me a "discount" on a purchase in the store at a later date and would "remember" who I was when the time came around to it... Hah, shove it up yourself. Fred Meyer is last on my "retail chain list" I will do business with, congratulations. read more

Whenever I'm grocery hopping i go to Freddy's. I always get great customer service! The employees always are very helpful and make sure I am able to find what I am lookng for. I rarely shop anywhere else. I love their positive attitude and just want to tell them thank you :) read more

I work here so my view might be biased but I am also a customer. The garden section is the reason you go to Lake City, between Ballard and Lake City, Seattle is covered. The reasons you don't go here is because the cashiers treat you like an assembly line NO EYE CONTACT. One of the best cashiers in the store/company is Colleen look for her and you will have fun checking out. The sales are good in grocery but in apparel its a rip off. If you look under the Fred Meyer tags in apparel a cheaper suggested retail price is underneath. The prices in garden center are competitive. Fred Meyer's worst grower is Home Depot best and if you need anything unique you can always ask and they try their best to get it. Big one to watch out for do not ask management for help they will roll their eyes and shirk you off to whoever is next to them. Also avoid using the main registers they will service exactly the load at the time you are there (they have it down to a science) always a line but the outlying registers seem to be faster excluding apparel's. read more

Wow! Super impressed by the amount of time an employee took with me over the phone to help me locate a toy for my daughter. Actually searching through a pile of ty toys to look for the specific ones she wanted. Very impressed! Thanks Fred Meyer. I LOVE great customer service! read more

I love it here. Today, I was just doing the usual shopping and I found everything I need really quick. The staff is friendly at the deli. Even my cashier was very nice not to mention cute... His name is something like slevin I think. He packed all my stuff correctly and he seemed really interested in what I was saying about my day. And when I asked where is accent is from he said Bulgaria like he was proud of it. He has nice charm. I will definitely go through his line again. read more

PHARMACY DEPARTMENT!! Get your shit together, I'm sorry. I've been going here for a couple years now, I have no idea why I've put up with it every time. I have to get my prescription every month, and every time something seems to go wrong. There are a few nice employees but I don't know if there is something wrong with the organization or there is just too many people or what! read more

I love my Freddy's!!! I have shopped here for last 20 years; no one can match the prices you can get here. I see a quite few reviews where people are stating that QFC prices are better - not true at all!!! Even though they are both owned by Kroger, for and average bag of groceries you pay at Freddy's (i.e. $35), you will have to spend at least $45 or more at QFC. I have shopped at several different Fred Meyers in Seattle/Shoreline area, but none comes close to the friendliness and helpfulness of employees at the Lake City Fred Meyer. Bravo!!! This location is a high traffic, so the store itself can sometimes be untidy, but understandably so. Other raters complain of carts in the lot, "ghetto" and homeless people... I think people should take some reality checks. Where do they think they live. Maybe they should move to Bellevue; Bellevue-ans say that they do not have homeless... What a shame that some people are so senseless and rude :(. THE ONLY COMPLAINT of this location: They need to make sure to actually stock ENOUGH of the items/groceries that are advertised in the weekly add, so customers can actually take advantage of the sale. Otherwise, their shelves are actually empty of the items in the add :( :( :(. Always!!! :( :( :( read more

when I used to live in Lake City, I used to go here everyday to shop. I like one of their bakeries, named Madeleines and I also love their wide variety of choices. Staffs are generally nice too. I live in Northgate, but I still go there for shopping read more

I absoulutly love fred meyers its amazing i have been there about 200 times since i was 7.Its like my 2nd home.I have bought tons after tons of supplies from there read more

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Try going there on a busy weekend, but practice, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me......... Aisles are way too small! Deli is way too small! Bakery is way too small! This place sucks. read more

The food department is good with competitive pricing but I'm only giving the store 3 stars since it seems like every last thing on the second floor is made in China. From clothes to toys to the garden shop. I know, it's cheaper, but if I'm going to pay for stuff made in China I'll just go to Dollar Tree, where everything really does cost a dollar. Or less. One last thing, the vast majority of the employees are very friendly and extremely helpful. read more

Very bad customer service all around. Always short staffed and unable to help. Went in to print a couple pictures and nobody was around so I went to do some shopping. When I came back 10 minutes later an associate was helping another person but asked if I had any questions. I said I just needed to pick up my photos and he told me he could be with me in a few minutes. After waiting a few minutes I said that I did have a question about the photo books (if I could make it 10 pages instead of 20) and he said he didn't know and that I had to wait for a manager. After waiting for a manager for a few more minutes the associate came around the counter and asked my name and started looking for my photos in the pick up drawer. I told him that I had just placed the order like 10-15 minutes ago and he said "oh well they are on the computer still then and I have to go to break now so someone will be with you in a few minutes." I then told them that I would get my photos somewhere else. I really don't have time for incompetent people and I really don't have time to shop in a place where the customer doesn't come first! read more

bad customer services they treat wick customer very bad. it was approximately 10 pm and there was only one cashier open. we were waiting for long time the manager gave few customer free items but not all customer i felt that was pure discrimination. i do not go there unless i have to. read more

I got superior customer service yesterday at Lake City Fred Meyer. In shopping for clothes I had forgotten my reading glasses and the woman on the floor dug through the packed racks to find my style and size. In the Home department an employee stopped on his way somewhere else to answer my question. I found a coupon inside the baskets and he told me they would honor it even though it was expired. In the natural food section I was looking for Stoneyfield plain whole yogurt, and the employee called the guy who handles the natural foods. Finally at checkout I mentioned I had forgotten to get garlic. The cashier immediately asked if I wanted her to ring up one. Of course I agreed and a produce person helped me find one. He never questioned at all when I said I had the cashier ring it up already. Oh, and the two stock employees that helped me try to find cherry juice. They didn't have it but mention that the manager would be happy to order it for me. What a great experience! read more

I ordered a turkey club panini from the hot food bar, and said yes when the man working the counter asked if I wanted it heated. He then took it to a back counter and started talking to another employee. Another woman asked if I was being helped, and I told her that the other guy was heating a sandwich for me. She checked the oven, and said that it had 2 minutes left. 3 minutes later, a third employee asked if I was being helped, and I asked her to find out from the man whether my sandwich was ready. She retrieved the sandwich, and gave it to me, while the man looked at me from across the far end of the bar, obviously not wanting more human interaction. Then, at the checkout, the checker had a 5 minute long conversation about car detailing with the customer in front of me, AFTER his checkout was completed. After finally escaping the store, I got home and bit into my sandwich, only to find it still fully refrigerated. I have lived in this area for over a decade, and have stopped in this store from time to time, but after this, I will never be going there for anything again. I will drive out of my way rather than stop there for anything I need. read more
