The Dollar Tree on Highway 99 in Edmonds by Safeway was a busy place when I visited yesterday evening, Friday 10 May 2024. The parking strip directly in front of the store was full, so I parked across the main drive past the front of the store. Depending on what one was looking for, some of the offerings were picked over and some were full. A worker was filling balloons (some Mother's Day related) later as I was waiting in line. I was looking for a few sweet treats for my mom as well as a Mother's Day card and a birthday card for her. The cards were varied in tone and style and I found one for each occasion that I decided to go with. For sweet treats, I found a couple of items rhyming with the tastes my mom likes. Check out had a longer line and one register was open. While waiting a second register opened up, then the first one started having problems. Even with the few registers and number of customers, the line moved quick and the wait was not too long. read more
