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.

A few clicks above a convenience store, they have just about everything you need. you won't find vast aisles of fresh fruits, veggies or meat but you will find something that will tide you (or your pets) over until you can make the drive into town. Prices reflect the premium of the long drive to town but sometimes it's worth it.

Everyone loved their sandwiches - correct type of meat, great bread, perfect ratios. The fries were crispy and delicious. We ordered a side of poutine and they were tastier than ones we had in Toronto! The food was all priced reasonably (13.99/combo). There are picnic benches right outside so we just copped a squat there. Very convenient if you are hopping on/off the ferry, but definitely worth the drive for these eats.

The Acme General Store is a bit of civilization on the edge of the mountains in western Washington…read more A small, old-school style General Store from years of yore. Stopped in for some cold bottled water and to get my bearings (the GPS in my rental vehicle had selected a rather interesting route for me - which I had not previously ground-truthed). The folks here are very friendly and greeted me as I entered. They just entered the modern era at the Acme General Store - they had just added for the first time ever - an electronic credit card reader! They have this really cool detailed mural painted on the side of the building (see attached pix). Great place to stop in for a pit stop for folks passing through the region!

Living in Anacortes, we certainly have choices when it comes to where we stock our pantries. Sure,…read moreyou can head just a few blocks over to Safeway and save a bit of cash, as many of the prices at "The Market" tend to run noticeably higher. But for a long time, I thought supporting a local spot was worth the extra coin for the neighborhood vibe. Unfortunately, my last weekend trip completely soured that experience. They say that in the produce section, just one bad apple can spoil the entire bunch--and the exact same philosophy applies to customer service. If you happen to shop on a weekend, you might just run into their most disagreeable staff members, prime examples of whom seem to be holding down the registers. Take Lee F., for instance. I expected a pleasant checkout, but instead received an experience defined by sharp, deeply rude responses that left me wondering why she is stationed anywhere near the public. If management has any sense of self-preservation for their customer base, they might want to consider shifting her to the overnight crew where human interaction isn't a requirement. Until they figure out that a sour cashier can ruin an entire shopping experience just as fast as bruised fruit, I'll be taking my grocery budget elsewhere.

They had several kinds of indian food, a lush salad bar, and TONS of fresh-made deli items. I was tempted by a grilled salmon salad, gluten free mac and cheese, and the gluten free carrot cake. Ended up getting a vegan tofu burrito bowl and it was so good! I couldn't help but browse the snacks. They had every brand I love here, with flavors I had never even heard of. Ended up somehow resisting the desserts and huge fridge dedicated to olives and pickled goods and just got out with a few kinds of vegan jerky (which is hard to find for me). Again, heaven. I will have to come back on a cheat day when I am ready to sample all the gluten free dessert.
