Another Seattle user: When housebound with an injury, Amazon Fresh was great.
The UI wasn't as good as a supermarket shelf, and Amazon didn't always give unit prices ($/lb) in consistent units across the board. I don't think they let me sort cereal by unit cost either.
At budget pricing, it didn't seem to compete with Safeway. The minimum orders needed for free delivery also tended to price out a single grad student. Re-checking prices recently when ordering for two, it seemed like it was kind of a wash.
It's worth checking out. If it works for you, it can be great.
The real win for Amazon is the upsell. If you're ordering groceries, you can also order electronics with nigh instantaneous delivery for free. It's powerfully addictive (so powerful, in fact, that I noticed and quit).
