Great neighborhood market. The people are very friendly, and I think they 'try' harder then anyone…read moreelse to get the best meat and produce. No need to slam this store. If you want fresh halibut... they'll get it for you. I've had them cut special cuts of meat and never a problem. The groceries are higher then Walmart, but the 40 miles drive you save one way is worth it....

I have been going here for years. Although I don't do my big shopping at the store just because the…read moreprices are rather high on a lot of things. I'll drive the extra few miles to Walmart for that. The good: close by for grabbing some milk and things you need just a couple items at a time to save the gas rather than going to Walmart, so it is a convenience having it close by. The bad: a lot of the things I normally buy at a grocery store are almost doubled in store. I have bought fresh seafood and it was bad. For instance, I bought 2 pounds of fresh shrimp the other day and it had a sell by sticker for the 11 July and I bought it on 3 July.. took it home put it in the refrigerator and on 5 July. My refrigerator stunk so bad it almost made us sick. I took the shrimp out and they were completely gone. 100% bad. I took them back up to the store right away, and I won't go into detail, but the manager and one of the checkers treated me almost like this was my fault. The checker smelled the shrimp that were in the paper bag, and in a plastic bag and almost threw up. And then got upset with me cause I had him smell them. And also commented this is the third time people have brought shrimp back this weekend.. the manager seemed awful upset with me and never even once apologized and made it seem like it was a hassle. I had to change them out. I will never buy seafood in that store again cause I've heard this multiple times from other people. I figure I spent my money up there, they could have at least respected me and not treated me so bad. So from now on I'll drive the extra few miles and go to Walmart for anything I need So bottom line: unless you don't give a crap about prices, this s store isn't the place to stop maybe just to get cigarettes maybe milk and they do have a subway in there if you need a sandwich but other than that, expect very high prices and this isn't just my opinion this is the talk of the town.

As a famous Earth psychoanalyst once said, "sometimes an IGA is just an IGA". (At least I think…read morethat's what he said; there are some dead pixels on my reading pad, so it's possible I missed some letters.) At any rate, this statement is completely incorrect. (Yet another reason to be skeptical about the human approach to psychotherapy. For heaven's sake, their therapists aren't even telepathic!) Or at least, inaccurate -- at least in this instance. For the Winthrop Evergreen IGA is NOT just an IGA. For those Starfleet personnel who have yet to experience an IGA, let me explain that in general, an IGA is a functional but unexceptional retail environment in which humans acquire routine foodstuffs. And certainly, that is possible here. But this IGA improves on the usual model by offering a solid selection of locally produced goods. That includes a shelf full of soaps, coffees and other local delicacies. It also includes a produce section that clearly flags seasonal items from local farms. For those of us here on research missions, that is a huge time-saver. The Evergreen IGA is an excellent place for Starfleet personnel to satisfy their nutritional requirements. It is also a surprisingly useful place to satisfy their curiosity about the products of the Methow Valley.

It's the only grocery option in town which may be why they don't strive for the highest quality,…read morethe best service, lower prices, nor the most interesting selection. One frustrating aspect is that they close at 7 or 8 pm, depending on the time of the year. aak! Even more frustrating is when you show up at 6:45 and they have already shut down the produce section and then turn off the store-wide lights on you. hint-hint, yeah. I get it. This is the worst! Nothing says "I come first, the customer comes second" than having the establishment run people out BEFORE the stated closure time. The first question that comes to mind here is, "don't you want my money??" but then I realize there is zero competition so you end up with some of it anyway... The staff are largely, individually, friendly, I'll give them one extra star for that.
