For me, Silver Beach epitomizes all that is sophisticated and urban…read more Why? Because, when my dad moved from the middle of nowhere, Washington, to the great big town of Bellingham, Silver Beach Grocery store was about a block and a half away from our house. A block and a half away! A store! That sells stuff! Not ten miles away, but a block and a half away! Oh, the wonders of city life! Every night I would hope that we ran out of some crucial dinner time ingredient, like milk, so that we could run down to the store and buy some more. (The hope was not as strong as my unfulfilled desire that one night my dad would *forget* about dinner entirely, and we'd be forced to order pizza and have it delivered right to our door!) Besides milk, shady magazines, and cigarettes, Silver Beach also had a reliable stock of Big Hunk candy bars, which besides being the best tasting candy bars (when microwaved for 18 seconds), also have the best name. I got one almost every day the summer I was 13, more because I was bored and that's the only activity I could afford than because of any merit of Big Hunks. I was so enamored with Silver Beach that I told everyone I lived in the Silver Beach neighborhood (which is so small as to be practically non-existent and certainly unheard of) and I gave directions to my new city house from the Silver Beach grocery store, despite the fact that everyone I talked to would all be coming from the opposite direction. Since then, I've grown less enamored of this neighborhood store, but it still holds a special place in my heart.

In my line of work, I end up drinking a lot of gas station coffee. Good, bad, right, or wrong…read more.. It's quick, affordable, and easy to find. And often, I specifically seek out AMPM locations because their coffee is fairly consistent and predictable. Not to mention cheap. However, many of their locations are also older, not always super clean, and it's hard to predict amenities between locations. Especially restrooms, which are available at many AMPMs, but not at all. But I digress. When this brand new location opened a few months ago on Meridian, I was excited to see it. I often find myself in this area of town, and looking for coffee of course. But what really sets this specific location of heart is just how bright, new, and amazing it is. It's laid out more like a small grocery store than a gas station convenience store. The lighting is bright, everything is clean and shiny, and they have food options I haven't seen at other locations. (Um, HELLO chili pump. Yes I said chili pump! As in, it pumps chili onto your hot dog!) The staff here are also super friendly, which is not common in my experience at other locations. The coffee is always hot and ready, and there is also a nice variety of grab-and-go food if you need it. And, yes, the bathrooms are readily available too!

It offers pretty much your typical convenience store fare: candy, cigs, chips, drinks, a small selection of groceries, and (of course) beer. It's a great place to pop in if you need something quick and don't want to make the trek to the supermarket. They also offer a great selection of local beer as well as the usual national brands. Would be great to see them expand to offer a growler bar or even a deli - both of which would surely be popular in this area!

The store is jam packed with good stuff, random candies, drinks, and booze. All the necessities and non-necessities like cleaning supplies and junk toys to occupy the kids. They have a grocery section, with decent selection of pantry items and frozen foods. But lets talk about the fresh food they make. OMG the best fried stuff in town so far. Giant potato wedges, chicken tenders, and THE BEST SAMOSAS in town! (so far, they're only the second place I've tried samosas, but they're really good) The samosas are lightly spiced but still very aromatic, crispy on the outside, fluffy potato inside. Nicest people too... I came in on a Sat and they didn't have any samosas on the hot tray, but the man said, if you want to wait 5 mins I will fry a fresh one for you! So good and not greasy. Really well prepared food for a random street side marketplace. I borrowed this picture from google / their FB. Check them out. Menu is on the FB page: https://www.facebook.com/FortBellingham/

The Lakeway 7-Eleven is one of those stores. It is owned by a kindly family man who has put a huge effort into make this as "local" as it can get. He serves our neighborhood proudly, and he and his staff always greet us with a smile. My kids have been regulars here for YEARS (hello, Slurpees anyone?) and they are treated like family. If one twin shows up without the other he's always asked, "Hey, where's your brother?" It's like the little mom-n-pop shop of years-gone-by, just with a 7-Eleven sign in front. Oh, and the coffee is cheap, too!
