Recently moved into the area and changed jobs so I had a 90 day period where I was without health insurance and needed to get my perscription filled. This pharmacy was the closest to where I lived so I had my doctors office fax my perscription to this Safeway. I got a call within minuites of my doctor sending my perscription from the Pharmicist letting me know when my perscription would be ready. I let her know that I was between healthcare coverage so I would be paying out of pocket and asked what the total cost of my perscription would be. She let me know it would be around $280 but since I was paying out of pocket, she would be able to give me 10% off which certainly helps a bit. When I went in today to pickup my perscription she let me know that she did some research for me and was able to find a coupon for a free 30 day supply of my perscription! I didnt have to pay a single penny for my $280 perscription! I was so excited and thanked her a bunch. I really appreciated her going the extra mile for me so that I would not have to pay out of pocket this time. I am definately going back to this pharmacy once my health insurance kicks back in! read more

I like Safeway on 125th and 15th Ave Ne ok right now but it need some construction job and which it will be going under construction on March 1st 2010 because it too small and needs somework. So it should done by December 2010. Heidi read more

Very sad store now, all newer employees don't care about wages or working conditions and the garbage outside from thieves stealing food and just leaving the empty boxes in carts for customers to put in garbage. To many cleaner better grocery stores near by. Don't waste your money unless it's n emergency! Safeway is not the same company any more, and I can't even talk about that Albertsons now! read more

In the context of "all the Safeways I've been to in Seattle" it may deserve 3 stars. However, they tore down a perfectly fine Safeway and replaced it with an uber-mondo brand-new Safeway, so I guess I was expecting more. The good: It's got everything that a high-end Safeway usually does - O Brand cheap organic stuff, plenty of alcohol options, a lot of quick-grab lunch stuff . . . The bad: Their parking lot is insufficient and poorly designed; the organic produce is minimal, over-priced, and poor quality; limited and super expensive natural foods (other than O Brand); missing basic things like vegetable bullion Bottom line: Works for grabbing a couple forgotten things, but I'll keep driving elsewhere when I want a proper grocery store. read more

This is my spot. I like the new lay out and cheap prices. Its safeway. I mean its filled with ballons, and cakes and all sorts of treats. WAY BETTER THAN Olsen's grocery store from 1991 read more

Yea..The new Safeway is done! It is very nice...The only thing is the parking..I don't know if it because it is new that the parking lot is so full or if there just isn't enough parking. Otherwise, the store is nice and clean and well lit. It will be good to have some competition for QFC. Also, they have a trailer in the parking lot serving up samples of beef for the next week or so...It is tasty! read more

This review is for their pharmacy. There are 2 Asian women there who have the worst manners (by the way I am an immigrant member of an ethnic minority myself). When I complained to the pharmacy manager, he said "there is nothing wrong with my employees" and then hung up on me. If you have to deal with anyone at this pharmacy, ask for Austin who has great customer service. Better yet, go to a different pharmacy like Fred Meyer on Lake City Way NE. They have really good customer service there. read more

Came here to shop with an e gift card from amazon. Apparently you have to have a it printed out to use it. Absolutely stupid. Who tf owns a printer anymore? I asked to speak with a manager and she was a bitch and told me that their computer system is to old to scan the barcode. But why can't they just type the gift card number in? What's the point of an e gift card if I have to print that shit out. Fuk dat yo. read more

This Safeway is the absolute best. The staff is friendly and they really make you feel welcomed to this neighborhood grocery chain. I recommend this location to everyone! read more

Open 24/7 if you are ever in a pinch. They have a great selection. I always come in the right set of doors. Grab my lunch meat and bread, then hit up everything else. Staff is nice. Prices are comparable. read more

I've been going to this Safeway since the 90's before they remodeled. I still enjoy coming here as employees are always friendly and quick to start up an enjoyable conversation. I usually don't go for deli food, so I have no comment on that. But I'm happy to continue coming here to grocery shop on a frequent basis. read more

We like this Safeway just fine. The makeover looks great, and the store is looking brighter, cleaner and awesomer. The staff are friendly and great. Love that it doesn't get overly crowded here too. Those self check out registers sure come in handy! Prices of course are on par just like any other Safeway. I am not a huge fan of their parking lot. It's just poorly designed, I know they "re-did" it, but still...I will say I am glad I drive a compact car. The Mr says their fried chicken is good, but I think he prefers the one at their competition store that we usually go to. Their produce is nice, and there is always someone stocking it. I will say boo the fact that they didn't have Steel Cut oats when I went there last. read more

I visited this Safeway to pick up some late night groceries and was fallowed around the store for half of my visit by store personnel and security pretending to be shoppers (more than usual ,I'm a black man so sadly this kind of happens to me a lot) when I was able to ignore them and get my shopping done I went to the front counter to pay for my groceries and was rung up by some young college student looking girl who messed up my night Not only did she overcharge me and ring me up twice on my popcorn she accidentally gave me the wrong change and gave me too much money back Upon this discovery she became very confrontational and unprofessional Trying to sick security on me and treat me like a thief for a mistake that she made I was almost shaken down before I showed my receipt and had to have a heated argument just to leave the store with my groceries to make some breakfast in the morning. I was a weekly shopper at the Safeway on 125th but after this rude experience im boycotting this store or a while I was really offended so offended in fact I'm going to do my shopping at QFC for a few months Sincerely , A Former Customer read more

This is a super nice Safeway, modern, and clean. The problem is that the people that go here are from another, slow moving, bad driving, self centered world. My car was hit and scraped up in the parking lot (bad drivers) a few months back, and often times store patrons in front of you in line will try to pay one way, then when that fails, try to pay another way, then find their coupons, then get a call (slow moving/self centered)...all while you're probably running late for something. Frustrating. I guess if you go during off hours, you're likely to do better. As I said, the store is one of the nicer ones in the area, and was great in the beginning. The produce is of good quality. It's the people that make all of the (bad) difference at this Safeway. read more

Very clean, great customer service! The only thing missing is a larger international food section with a variety of products.It's mostly Asian. read more

I don't like the location because of some of the idiots they've got working behind the counters. 1. Cashiers: I get tired of waiting behind people who pay with checks or WIC--I had ONE THING and had to wait TWENTY MINUTES behind a woman who was paying with her food stamp money and they couldn't figure out how to scan things! grrrrr. 2. Meat Counter: One morning I got bacon for breakfast. When I got home I opened up the small paper wrapper to find it was so small because the guy had balled up all of the bacon, threw it in a plastic sack, then wrapped it in paper. Who does that? 3. Deli Counter: Before Thanksgiving I went to get some ham from the deli and the woman had no idea which ham I was pointing at, despite me repeatedly reading the full label, her coming around the counter to check, and then going through the meat bin several times. I like this Safeway because of how large and nice it is, and because of the self-checkouts [at times I will drive down from Shoreline just because of this]. Also, there was once a really helpful meat counter guy who convinced me that the pepper bacon was way better than the packaged kind, and he was totally right and everyone loved me for the tasty bacon. Thanks, guy. Also the coffee shop/man cave in here is awesome and generally filled with men who gave up helping with grocery shopping. read more

I have shopped at this Safeway a couple times and it seems fine with me, better selection than the Wedgwood location for sure and Safeway has better prices than QFC which we live closer to. Still prefer Albertsons over them all though. Store was clean, people were polite, short line when we went. The only bad thing, which was pretty yucky actually, was that their marked down meat looked DISGUSTING. I'm talking it was the wrong color, just looked nasty. When we lived in Wedgwood that Safeway had a good marked down meat section..I saved many a dollar on their marekd down meat but the stuff I saw today at this location I wouldn't feed my dog if I had one! read more

There are two Safeway locations on 15th Avenue NE. This one is far better in my opinions. Better sized store with seemingly more selection.

The location is great, the facilities are new, clean, and well organized. But the staff can be rude (depends on the person) and they insist on playing loud rock music making it difficult to have any conversation or even ask someone a question. It seems they use it as a way to not have to interact with the customers. I asked a Manager about it and he said they don't have control of the volume. I find that hard to believe. read more

I went to grab a last minute cake for my sons first birthday. The lady that wrote on it and got it for me was super super friendly and attentive and helped me pick out a cake. I would be inclined to come back just because of her! However, the cake tasted like cardboard with a crap load of powdered sugar frosting all over it. It was gorgeous but tasted absolutely horrible and I was embarrassed when everyone ate it.. It had the consistency of a mr clean magic eraser and was tough to cut through :( That was my first and last time buying a store bought cake not only from Safeway, but from anywhere. Next time I will make my own. read more

This safeway sucks. I love safeway in general because it's cheap and that's about it. But I have never been able to check out without waiting atleast 15 minutes. Many times I am in a line with 5 people while there are only two checkers at like 6pm. Come on, let's get real about when you may need more than two checkers! They never seem to notice or care that the line is long either. After moving close to a QFC I go there because I can self check out and hardley ever have to wait. Safeway's still cheaper though. read more

The renovation was sorely needed for this Safeway; it was pretty old and run down before. The little seating area and TV next to the Starbucks is a nice setup, I always see people hanging out there. This store has an excellent bakery and a pretty good meat and seafood selection, compared to other Safeway stores. read more

This is the worst Safeway I have ever been to. Every time I come there is zero urgency on behalf of the cashiers. The lines are always ridiculous, and I have never seen more than 2 cashiers working at a time. Self check out would be great if it were ever open. For some reason when I come there's a 50/50 chance they will be working and up and running. Don't waste your time here, go to the QFC down the street for better prices and quicker lines, where they open another register as soon as more than 3 people are in line. read more

I wanted to go to that Safeway on my way home from work. When I went inside. Very small. Hoping to find what I wanted and no. It's smaller and looks so 30 years ago. The look is not the problem. Only wished there was more stuff but it makes sense that the store is so small. I would rather go to the one I go to often. read more

Well, it's been a few years and they remodeled. It's nicer, but the layout kinda sucks. Their deli isn't all that appealing, and their roast chicken wasn't good at all. QFC down the street is much better for that, and also for knowing if your produce is local or not. But it's an improvement. And it's near my house. read more

So If you are into fried chicken and loooove fried chicken DO NOT BUY HERE. I don't know what it is but I always get RAW chicken it's still bloody red pink whatever you want to call it. The staff doesn't seem to care because all they say is "ok we are sorry here is your money back" I would love to see some more inspectors on how they cook the chicken here... This Safeway is ridiculous. I would just knock the deli down if the management staff or whoever actually cares about what happened. I guess $15 an hour is starting to get to their heads. DO NOT BUY DELI HERE. oh and their Starbucks staff is the most rudest I have ever come across. read more

The level of familiarity and community is very evident in these locations practices. I must say that I very impressed that they are so personable and genuine. Keshawn is an amazing asset to your location and should be acknowledged as a very competent and efficient operator. Thank you for challenging the status quo guys!! Excellent work!! read more

Safeway doesn't always have everything I'm looking for, but it's got a pretty good produce selection that includes rarer fruits and vegetables. It's generally very fresh, and you can find some good deals here when items are on sale. One thing I wish they had was free range meats, but they do have some organic produce, dairy products, cereal, frozen dinners, etc.... (at higher prices than Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, so beware). One thing I really like here is the Verdi Safeway brand frozen pasta--portabella or artichoke ravioli, spinach filled pasta, manicotti--it's good. They also have good brand-name soups. read more

Nice workers.always friendly.after a while of visiting this store, they already know me.and they helpin me out when im forgetin my safeway club card read more

It's close but the constant lines make it a longer trip than going further away.The produce section needs help.The prices are fair though.

This is one of the nicer Safeway stores. It's large and clean and carries more choices than some of the smaller stores. I use Safeway to buy the basics. Their Just4U website program can really save you money. I use it before I go shopping and load the specials they offer onto my card. The program offers me substantial savings. The produce at Safeway is always marginal and I don't buy meat there. Due to health concerns, I buy most of my produce and meat at Whole Foods or Central Market which offer a large selection of organic choices. Safeway is offering more organic items all the time and what they have is often much cheaper than Whole Foods. You just have to comparison shop. read more

I really, really, really like this Safeway location. This last visit was a another great one! The line was pretty long and there was only one line open. Both the customers and the cashier could have gotten very upset, but everyone remained calm. Then the cashier named William said, " I just want to thank everyone for your patience!" I thought to myself,"That was so considerate". He did a great job under the pressure, was very kind and respectful to everyone, helping everyone remain patient, and he had the line moving quickly. More businesses like this location should have employees like William on their team setting a great example of how to give good customer service! It keeps customers coming back! Keep up the AWESOME work! Safeway Customers really appreciate it! Thanks! read more

I'm not happy with Safeway anymore they have gone down hill considerably since Albertsons took over. Most of the people that knew me from back when are still there and are still very nice. but they no longer carry a lot of the things that I once got there. a few examples being any form of bulk unsliced Kraft American cheese. Pagoda eggrolls, Barber's stuffed cordon bleu chicken breasts, the X-large sized cup of noodles, Yami yogurt in the single portion size, acidophilus milk, etc. I am also not happy with the new tax on pop. the stores down the street ( but still in Seattle) still make coupon prices the same for pop and diet pop. but at Safeway they do not. they don't have a choice but charge the taxes but could at least honor the coupon prices. I should also mention that someone has been monkeying with my safeway club card taking all the discounts away. all in all I am not happy and go there very rarely read more

A 24 hour Safeway! So my buddy and I were doing last minute valentines shopping and this was part 2 on our adventure. First off this location valentines wise was very very convenient. Literally everything you could buy was displayed right up front except for the chocolates. Since we had purchased everything already from qfc we were hunting for the last piece of the puzzle.... Bottled Dr Pepper! I know it sounds insane but the girl loves dr pepper so I figured it would be a sweet twist to "pop" open some bottled dr pepper. We were pretty skeptical but doing some research apparently Safeway sells them. Were hunting and they have everything but dr pepper in bottled form, as we turn to leave the aisle I took a quick peak and BAM there is one last case sitting in the back behind the sprites. Emotional moment... I can now confirm that safeways indeed carry bottled dr pepper. We also bought a few goodies and the layout of the Safeway feels fairly new. The parking lot is great and pretty big which I can appreciate as well. All in all a great experience at a big Safeway, I will return when I'm in the area. read more

If this location were properly staffed it would be the best Safeway in the city. It's a fantastic grocery, great selection and products and the staff that are there are wonderful. But they rarely have more than 2 checkers available and it means loooooong waits to check out. It's completely unacceptable and I don't know how they get away with it. I really hope they improve the situation!! read more

Dirty store, never have carts or enough staff, and twice I've caught them selling expired food well over a week past expiration. Assistant manager was rude and manager assured me things are changing. They aren't. Dirty store, expired food when there is a QFC within a mile. Shame. read more

This is the cleanest, friendliest Safeway i've ever been in. I drive way out of my way to go here! The cashiers and floral people are the most helpful, friendliest bunch of people i've come across in any grocery store and i really appreciate all of you. Also, the food is fresh and well presented, a great variety of produce and fish! It seems like you all like your job and if you don't you hide it well! Thanks so much read more

I've been coming here to this exact store after a long night at work to buy groceries for nearly a year now. While I've never introduced myself by name to the workers, I figured that they would suspect me as just a regular customer. However, things started to change a few months ago. A lady working in the meat department would get on the intercom and ask for the security to rotate the camera to my specific aisle in the store. The first time this happened I didn't think much of it and laughed it off jokingly. I didn't expect that considering my "regular customer status" that I could be suspected of stealing. However, by the second and third time, it became very apparent to me that I was, in fact, being suspected of shoplifting. This worker stopped what she was doing and made a point to stare me down and alert other workers in the area. What was more is that as she would see me through the store and she would continue to stare me down. Also, every time she saw me from this point forward, she would give my exact location in the store over the intercom. This was humiliating to me as several customers would walk by the aisle that I was in to see what I was doing. It was a real eye-opener to see how others saw me. By the second, third, and now fourth time, it wasn't funny anymore. I couldn't laugh it off any longer. Instead, like I said, it felt awful to be seen as a second-class citizen shoplifting. I was being profiled for probably being some bum when actually I had worked a long night and just wanted to get home so I could catch some sleep before another shift. By the fourth time, I had gotten a store manager. Tall, white guy. He was in the least sympathetic and didn't seem to care at all. After telling him I wouldn't be shopping there anymore, he kindly walked me out of the store. What really gets me is that she denied the whole thing. This serves as a warning to those of you who are blue collar workers and would like to stop by and grab some groceries on the way home. Don't. You'll be treated like a thief and they will ask for the cameras to be rotated over your exact aisle. read more

This Safeway is always well stocked and clean. Go thru Quentin's check-out line because he bags groceries with CARE...my eggs, bread and chips do NOT crushed! read more

I went to use the restroom today at Safeway and it was disgusting. It smelled strongly of urine and like it had not been clean in weeks. The faucet handles were dirty as well as the floor. I told the guy manning the u scan and he made no effort to call someone to clean it. I don't think I will ever use there bathrooms again because it made me nauseous. read more
