I swear people in Kirkland don't work. This place is constantly packed with awful drivers. I highly suggest getting gas first and then coming in through the back to park. People constantly crossing at inappropriate places. However, the Costco employees are always really nice. Long lines as usual but it's Costco. They definitely have the cheapest gas in town. read more

Oh man, this place is a nightmare. But you can get some really great deals and only have to shop every 2 weeks. The parking is terrible and the shopping experience is worse. They give you carts the size of a car which turns the whole place into a traffic jam. People can not navigate the store well and they will stop right in front of you and jam up the whole aisle. And with your fridge sized cart, you can't get around them. Same goes for the checkout. They are normally pretty speedy and efficient, but you'll find yourself in a swarm of carts and you just hope you're in a line. All in all, it's like any warehouse store. This place is popular and busy for a reason. If you can brave the congestion, you will make out. And maybe even get some tasty samples. Some things are definitely not good deals, but you will find some great ones if you shop smart. Downside is they do not take credit cards (except AE), but the upside is they have everything you might need. A good place to hide out if the zombies attack. read more

I came here after shopping at Costco. I expected a long line as there were many people at Costco,but there was no line for the gas station at all. It is relatively cheaper than other gas stations. It was 3.2 for 87, comparing with 3.7 at Chevron in Bellevue. This is another great reason to join Costco membership! read more

I spend way too much money here. Having the executive membership has actually benefited me. Last year I made $150 bucks and the year before... if I HAD the executive membership I would have made $600!!! When you have a whole family to feed, Costco can be a great place to shop. I prefer it over Walmart because they obviously DO take care of their employees because they're always closed on major holidays! Weekdays are the best times to go to avoid fighting for a parking spot and long lines inside. Love how I can purchase my gas and then get my car washed for $8... Tires come out shiny and looking new. Their food court is super cheap, but I need to be starving to be able to swallow it. read more

So today I came home to find a fedex package waiting for me, I do not ever order from places like Safeway or Costco websites and have food delivered so it was a complete mystery. Turns out because it's the holiday season and me not living in the same state, my mom had ordered a batch of specialty scones be delivered. Oh bless her sweet soul as she would know what would make my day. Sugary goodness. Did you know that Costco specialty wraps orders like this? Well I can safely tell you from personal experience that they do. A huge thank you to the corporate empire that is Costco for shipping these individually packaged carbolicious beauties overnight! read more

Called into this Costco and expected to be put on a long hold only to not reach a resolution but with Ryan's help, I got what I needed in a matter of minutes. The Woodinville Costco didn't have any more El Gaucho gift certificates, so when I called this one and Ryan delivered good news, and quickly, I was very pleased! He put them on hold for me, and I made the trip over to the store right away. While the parking lot situation is horrendous, the service made my day - thanks Ryan! read more

I don't frequent Costco because it is just too much for me and my fiance. And I don't have a card. Hah. If you're buying for a bigger family/group it might make sense. You buy three items and you're up to $100. Easily. It becomes overwhelming at times. Especially when you want to buy things you don't need. And if you lose the person you're with. TG for cell phones. Samples - cool. I actually buy some of the things they sample. Their prepared meals and snacks are awesome!!! And their clothes, gadgets, jewelry, books, etc etc. are fun to peruse. They never have my size, but I can window shop. I'm also rambling. Not to mention the cheap 'ole snacks outside. Hi cheap hotdogs with drink. Hi cheap pizzas. Hi. read more

Been a member for a long time. I got my girlfriend a $100 gift card to use as she is not a member. She went in and got quite a few items. When she got to the check out, she was met with resistance by the checker. 'So - you're not a member?' What is Costco ... The Seattle Golf Club? Ridiculous. 'Well - I guess we'll accept your gift card but it's more of a one time offer to try us out'. Thankfully, my girl has heart and fired back with 'so, do you want my ID so you can track me if I try to come back'? The cashier stopped in her tracks cuz she realized how ridiculous she sounded. Bottom line here - Costco provides a good service ... Neat. You sell bulk good for a good price ... But you don't need to be an ass about it ALL the time. Most employees routinely give attitude at the check stand. I mean, I even got sh*t for trying to buy the gift card in the first place. It's supposedly a great place to work. Funny no one acts like it. read more

Fairly pleasant staff but can be super duper busy. I went in a Monday afternoon and it wasn't too bad. Person who checked me out never really made eye contact and do did have a nice bedside manner so to speak. But in the same transaction the person packing my belongings into my cart was over welcoming and telling me a funny story. Polar opposites in the same line. I would definitely return to this Costco. There did just recently get gas there too!! Yea! read more

Try the new Turkey Sandwich! Yum. Costco is great. You can buy all your bulk items here and get some great deals on other things as well!

I LOVE COSTCO!! not so much this location as the one in vegas! This location needs to expand their parking as well as their check out counters. It takes forever to find parking at this location and no one seems to be courteous when they're walking back to their car - they always walk in the middle of the parking lot!! I will say tho I wish this costco had their food court indoors as i dont enjoy having birds fly around while i'm eating. Nothing beats the food court! yes, as unhealthy as all the items are and will increase your waist line by inches, they have the best thing your stomach craves!! read more

I heart inexpensive gas and fast food that is still affordable. The optometry department can result in a bit of a wait, but is also worth it. The tire services are also useful when I can't make it to my regular location in an emergency. I'm not your typical Costco shopper, as I have little need for bulk items, but the departments I do frequent are well-loved. read more

My car said that it had low tire pressure and I took it by Costco to see if it just needed air or what have you. Went inside the sales office and only one other couple was in front of me. Granted, it's a Saturday and I'm not dressed to the nine's as I normally would be during the week but I was wearing nice pants and a t-shirt but the couple in front of me clearly were well dressed. Apparently, I wasn't worth noting because the solitary gentleman working the desk didn't even bat an eyelid at me and I stood waiting quietly and patiently in front of him for over five minutes. No "I'll be right with you" no "good morning" nothing. He didn't acknowledge me at all. So I left and went to Firestone up the road where I was in and out in under 10 minutes and was treated far better. Won't waste time here again. read more

Big and clean! I love the deli area and all the premade meals. Not that I don't like to cook, but who has the time?? I didn't like being harassed by the demonstrator booth people, though. I like going up and down all the aisles and they would hit me up every single time I passed them. You would think one "no thanks" would be enough. read more

This is my back-up Costco (yeh - I know Federal Way and Redmond are just minutes apart). They have recently revamped the store and it now has the same layout as my store - so I really don't mind stopping here. Staff tends to be about 3 decades older than mine but they are all really nice and helpful. They tend to carry more clothes and cheese than mine so that's a plus! read more

Nice Costco. I know they're all supposed to be the same, but I've found that isn't close to the case. This location was the only store in the state to have the food item I was looking for (yes, I checked at another location and had them track it down for me.) I'd give it one of my coveted five star reviews, but it was so crowded and the parking lot was a disaster. If they get the parking issue resolved before I come back again, they've got a great shot at earning that last star. Well done Kirkland Costco!! See you in the future... read more

Yo! Its a Costco. What can I say? Except this: unlike my Costco in Hawaii, they have Craft beers! Wooden crates full of em! So if you visit Seattle, or any outlying area, be sure you hit up this location to get your beers! read more

Can't really say anything wrong about this place. It's costco, good prices, bulk items, and good selections. There's a lot across the street from the main lot that I always park out and it's a short walk to the front door. I always end up buying more than intended b/c they have so many random and great finds (usually food). Last time I went, I got Tom Douglas' rub with love seasoning ($10) and it's freaking awesome. I've already had it on salmon and chicken. I always stock up on salmon from here. Much cheaper than normal (sockeye was $8.99/lb) and portion it out into individual services. Pop the left over pieces in the freezer and I'll be having salmon for days. They carry major brands although I've found that I like pretty much anything "Kirkland" brand also. Their wine selection is always nice too :-) Costco rocks. Buying in bulk definitely saves $, it feels like a lot at the time, but household items (foil, saran wrap, trash bags) last forever and it's way cheaper than buying it from the store. read more

I love this costco, it's easy to get to right off the freeway, the hours are pretty good, the food court keeps me happy while wandering their aisles, the staff here is always friendly. The only reason I'm docking a star is because parking can be a giant pain and the layout makes it relatively easy to get into an accident or stuck waiting behind a giant line. Also, no gas station for those of you who care for that. They have the tire section though! Like all costcos, they take cash, debit or Amex. read more

Costco is reliable for great prices. Costco is not reliable for consistent inventory. It's so annoying to have a list and not find your "usual." I was hoping to find some different items here also, as it's Kirkland and all. Is it not a test store? Food Court is on the outside of the store. Same as any other, except I noticed they have a double-shot mocha or latte for like, $1. Haven't seen that one. No gas here, or car wash as the Seattle location offers. read more

I originally wrote this specifically for the gas station, but Yelp merged the pages..... Re: gas - You gotta be a member and you have to use your Costco American Express or a debit card. No cash. No credit cards. Prices are reasonable and the driving setup encourages fast turnover at the pumps. Octane ratings are 87 or 92 though, so they don't quite translate easy to what you might have in your tank or find at a regular gas station. Re: store - If you don't want to hate yourself and the rest of the human race, try to avoid this place on the weekend. Best times to shop are early morning or just before closing during the week. I used to love getting produce from here, but lately it's all been pretty old/rough looking by the time it makes it to the store. There's no way that large bag of spinach or that bucket of mushrooms is going to last the two weeks it will take to get through it. I find even if produce looks good, be sure to check the "packaged on" date and/or the "best by" date. Other than that, it's a Costco. Nothing inherently better or worse about it than other big box warehouses. read more

This was one the first Costco store I shopped at and I've been a Costco member for almost 20 years. I used to think this store was great, but after shopping at Shoreline, Tumwater and now the new Woodinville store, this Costco is not my favorite. Parking at this store is a challenge compared to these other locations. The store is more crowded than the others, even though the Woodinville store should have taken some of the load. One of the bright spots at this location is still the Optical department. The optometrist is one of the best I have been to. He was a former Group Health doctor who opted for his own practice. For those of you who were mislead about the Kirkland Signature brand, it was not named after the store. It was because the Costco corporate headquarters was in Kirkland between 1987 and 1996. The Kirkland Signature brand was introduced in 1995. Costco overall gets 5 stars from me, but this location only gets 3, due to the horrible parking, outdoor food court and crowded store. read more

Although finding parking can be a chore, this is't such a bad Costco. Their food court is outside the warehouse, so anyone can drop by and pick up a cheap snack. Good for: hot dogs, berry granitas, croissants, butter, eggs, heavy cream read more

LOVE COSTCO!!! They are all great (I have been to many in several states) - BUT I think Kirkland is the best. Nice friendly people; great merchandise; wonderful guarantees; fantastic food and incredible prices. Only one drawback - no gas - do NOT blame Costco. They would love to have one. The City of Kirkland is at it again................... I do not understand WHY anybody would refust to get an AM X card through Costco. The payback is fantastic. I just got a cheque for $250. after paying for my membership. read more

Parking is a nightmare but I'm in heaven when I'm reunited with the SAMPLES!!! Costco is local, treats their employees and vendors with respect, and has the most amazing return policy. read more

This cost has two 'issues'. 1. the parking design makes no sense to me.. i'm always seemingly stuck some where and cars don't move. Got a bit better after they renovated the whole place 2. No gas - again they did put this in during the past year, but for the longest time, no gas. Otherwise, great store. i'll miss it now that I moved.. read more

First Costco ever? Surprising just like any other Costco you find anywhere else. You might be able to get a few items there that you can't find anywhere else.. but I'd sure like to see this place be more touristy! Maybe they should have kept their first Costco signs and stuff like that (unless what they have now is what they've always had---I'm not sure) This place was super busy... like SUPER busy! So finding parking is horrible unless you park super far away.. but I guess this is expected at a Costco! It was nice to walk in here! read more

How do you make buying large amounts of things you may or may not need fun? I don't know, but Costco does it. I can always find what I need as well as plenty of things that I don't (that I end up buying anyway), and I love it all! Plus, the cafe right outside is great, and I've never had to stand in line for very long to get a hot dog or chicken bake. read more

I came here during their construction. I guess it's trying to make it better. Just take that into consideration. This has the largest parking lot I've never found close parking in. Some Costcos have shallow but long parking lots, this one is long and deep. no one parks close. They have angled parking in parts too. so it's easy to not go the right way. Inside everything is hunky-dory. Their food /hot dog stand is outside because most customers work up an appetite walking in from Bothell (I mean, where they parked). There's a tire center, glasses center, pharmacy, and the usual selection of goods. One bonus this Costco gets is that it's gas station is huge and rather efficient. read more

Really great people and it's pretty clean. When we had to return an over bought item, it was smooth sailing with a service with a smile. I'm a huge fan of Costco and I've even been to the ones in Japan and Taiwan. It's interesting on what they can and can not sell in their countries. read more

We go to Costco all the time, my husband and brother-in-law are in love with the store- so it's about every three weeks that we go. It's great because you're pretty much guarenteed to find the best prices around. The only reason it's not a four star? The food court is definitely the worst out of all the Costcos I've been to. read more

PROS: Good prices, great selection, friendly employees, efficient check-out even when the lines are extremely long!, great cafe that is very cheap (my husband and I get a piece of pizza and a hotdog with drink all for under $4) CONS: it is ALWAYS crowded :( Sometimes I dread going because I hate how crowded it is...but that's to be expected at a discount warehouse! read more

Wow! Compared to other Costco's this place sure is jam-packed! Each gas stall has a 5 car back-up waiting to fuel up. I will never stop here for gas again. Nevertheless, the chocolate factory inside makes it worth while! read more

My sis and I were there on Saturday, Feb 29th stocking up due to the growing concerns related to the coronavirus (Covid-19). The place was packed but manageable. The only BIG issue we had was that we were disrespected by an employee there. He was at the exit checking everyone's receipt between the hrs of 5p-7p. As we walked over to him, we handed our receipt to him. Seeing that he had gloves and probably touched hundreds of receipt, we kindly asked him to throw ours away (the trash can was next to him). He then said rudely, 'No, you throw it away!!' And then shoves it to my sis who had no gloves or sanitizer on hand! We were in shocked!! I called him an asshole and we walked out. Doesn't he realize the outbreak occurred in Kirkland?!?! He should be considerate!! This guy needs to be fired! He was a white male, gray/white hair, in his late 60s, and miserable. Note, we were 2 Asian women... read more

These guys are awesome. Once had to replace a delicious item no problem. Has a tire issue and twice they did excellent work with a great price.Blain Dave Bob Josh and Ben, thanks again. read more

Just like a normal Costco Gas Station. Usually there are lines at this location, but not at nighttime that much. Prefer not to go on a weekend, otherwise it will probably be busier.). read more

I think I'm just not meant to shop in large stores like costco. There are to many people, it's overwhelming, the carts are so big... I'm not that tall, they don't carry everything and sometimes even though I'm aware of the large portions I can't believe how much they want me to buy at once. There meat selection is wonderful and I like getting their steak packages. Customers tend to just stop in the middle of the aisles with those huge carts and the people giving out samples just cause back ups. The staff is friendly though. The food court is pretty good too. I just find the whole place overwhelming though. read more

This is your typical Costco. The gas stations they have are very nice and updated. The parking lot isn't very big, so it's probably best to park far and just walk it rather than fighting for a close parking spot. The food court here is oddly located on an outside room. I seem to be always buying either the hot dod/Polish dog for $1.99 or a slice of cheese pizza. They are the best deals and about as cheap eat as you can get for the quality! read more

Of course it has more advantage for big families ,but still you can find many items individually. When you purchase from Costco, you know they give you competitive price and good deals always. One thing I like about the company is that they are organized, their stores are always clean, employees are very nice. Keep going there and keep buying:) read more
