I am glad the 'ol Rainbow Market is here in Echo Lake, so I am a fan. I dont shop here alot, but its nice to have when you need it, rather than making the long, long, long trek into town. Cigarettes, drinks, ice cream, snacks and some common grocery items, even bait for fishing at nearby lakes. The owners have always been super friendly and pleasant to me. Never a line for powerball/megamillions, let the rabble stand in line at other places! I got a big kick when i bought my $1.6B MegaMillions ticket, he said "one point six PILLION!!! gonna be sick!" Of COURSE its expensive, its a convenience store!! The owners gotta make a living too, with all these hoidy-toidy $1M homes driving up real estate taxes. Free Community bulletin board out front. Always sad to see the Coyote Victim Pictures, hopeful owners grasping at straws. I've had my share. read more

$5.99 for a 64oz Cambell's tomato juice!? Really!?? The beer prices there seem to be standard, but that tomato juice price... that was ridiculous. I got a six-pack for $6.99 and had a moment of serious confusion when I looked at my super high total. (Then I saw the sticker price on the juice.) I never thought the same tomato juice that I buy all the time for less than $4 (it's $3.89 on Amazon Fresh!) could cost that much somewhere! It's a convenient market because there's not much else around there and apparently it's a decent spot to grab some beers, but... dang... that juice price is killin' me. fyi: There's a $5 minimum for paying with a card. I love tomato juice, so I'm glad that I was only in the area because of Bob's Corn Maze and that this ISN'T my neighborhood mini-mart. read more

Rainbow Market - the front of the store - Grocery Near Me - Snohomish, Washington

This little place has almost everything you might need. Any time I have forgotten something at the store, the Rainbow Market has it. The owners and staff are friendly. Everything is always clean. I have it 4 out of 5 stars simply because they are a bit over priced even for convenience store. read more

I try to support locally owned markets, but the indifference of the owner when I try to make friendly small talk made me want to take my business elsewhere. And so I did right down the street to the convenience store by the freeway. read more

We have been in the area for 22 years. We like it for what it is - a convenience store close to home. They carry the basics and many times have surprised us by having just the thing we need. We have never had a problem with the quality of what they sell. They are not Safeway or Fred Meyer - based on the value they provide, the prices are reasonable and fair. We have come to know the family that currently owns the store and we have been treated with respect. As a small local business they are part of the economic safety net of our community. read more

Very grateful that I have this local family business to always count on to have what I need in a pinch! Always kind & courteous! read more

Owner was very rude. Charged me a dollar to use my debit card. Told me he liked cash. From the continued empty parking lot I would think any form of money would be good. Im done trying to support them. read more

The owner doesn't like to make money. Apparently he also doesn't understand that people tell 10 others about a bad experience vs 5 others about a good one. I went in here looking to get some coffee and he follows me over to the coffee and tells me "we not sell, sorry thank you good bye now"..... in broken English. Whatever. I won't be back. Really strange for this area also. read more

I love the Rainbow Market. We are so lucky to have this fantastic family run business within walking/biking distance. They have literally every item that you need. If you are cooking....baking...snacking... scratch ticketing.... they got you covered. Super super friendly, clean, safe, kind. I highly recommend. read more

The owner is very very rude. Probably one of the rudest proprietors I've ever met. I'm so happy to know that a convenient store is going in down the street. I would never shop here again. read more

I've had the misfortune of needing to stop here a few times. The owner is hostile and has some neuroses that make owning a store a very, very bad choice for him. My experiences have been so bad here that it's actually kind of funny... like, am I being punked? The first time I stopped to shop here I was hauling my horse trailer. The parking lot is large and, even though it was completely empty, I parked at the far end of it where I wouldn't keep anyone from using the convenient spaces or from driving through. The owner came out and yelled at me, telling me the parking lot was only for customers. I said I wanted to buy something and he told me I could not until I moved my rig. I asked where he would like me to move it and he told me to park it on the street. I asked why and pointed out that I wasn't blocking any parking spaces or either driveway entrance, and he just yelled NO TRUCKS at me. Stupidly I came back a second time. I didn't get yelled at BEFORE entering the store, thankfully, as I was driving my sedan. He followed me around the store to ensure that I didn't shoplift. Then when I tried to pay for my ice cream bar, he refused to take my money because one of the bills had a tear in it. It was still intact, just partly torn. When I pointed this out, he yelled at me, NO TAKE! I left without my snack... that's a horrible tragedy! :) The third time I came here I bought 4 items and asked for a bag. He told me I didn't need one. I said I did, actually. He said I didn't, that I could put the items in my pockets (including a beverage). I asked if he was out of bags and he said no, then raised his voice, I HAVE BAG. YOU NO BAG. Once again I left without purchasing anything. NO TRUCKS NO TAKE YOU NO BAG! Priceless. read more

I would give it a 5 star but I live out here and my kids always want candy from Rainbow Mart...and with 3 kids that aint cheap. I just appreciate that they are out here bx there is nothing close. They are kind and always very happy to help you!!! If you're dumb enough to need tomato juice and have to go to Rainbow Mart, you're gonna pay. Drive 5 more miles and go to Woodinville!! If you need a random bag of ice or some beers...you can't beat the location if this is your one and only local mart. Because it' my local mart and I love it!! Don't mess with the Rainbow! read more

Lets just start by stating that I have lived in the neighborhood for about ten years, so I am biased. This place is amazing when I forget to grab something from the store or need something last minute and don't want to drive back in to town. It's convenient but you do pay for that in the prices. For that reason I try not to make it a normal place to purchase things but I find myself there at least a couple times a month. It's a life saver for those of us that live in the neighborhood. read more

Great mom and pop grocery store! Everyone is always extremely nice. The location is very convenient and I'm not too bothered by the prices. Would definitely come back! read more

I had a horrible experience tonight at this store and not for the first time. I went in to cash in a scratcher lottery ticket bought at that store that I had been given for Christmas. I am not a lottery player so did not know how to turn it in. I asked the man behind the counter ( I believe he is the store owner) and he was extremely rude and began to yell at me that it was not his job to check my ticket and he waved me to the back of the store and told me I had to check it myself. I asked him to show me how to do it and he kept on yelling at me about how it is not his job to do that. He actually asked me why I bought the ticket if I didn't know how to cash it in?!! Finally I figured out how to do the reader and I told him that the reader said I won $25. He did not believe me until he ran it through the reader at the front of the store and grudgingly gave me the $25 while once again telling me it is not his job to read the scratcher tickets. This is the second time this man has been extremely rude in my presence and I told him I will never go back to his store... actual star rating is a minus 5 from me! read more
