Someday a Trader Joes will come to Lake City (or any grocery store other than Fred Meyer) but until then, Lesser Seattle[0] appreciates Amazon Fresh. I didn't see where the $299/$220 comes from. When I go to the link, it just takes me to the "buy things and sign in" page after I click Seattle. It looks like the Amazon Fresh Prime offering is only available in Los Angeles.
0 - It's a joke. North of 85th and south of SODO isn't considered "actual Seattle" by a lot of folks, mostly by the new arrivals who only go to SLU, Capitol Hill, and Ballard.
- swampthing 13y agoIsn't there a QFC on Lake City Way? There's also a nice new Safeway on 125th and 15th (though not technically Lake City, I think). On another note... never thought I'd see talk about Lake City on HN :)
- techsupporter 13y agoI saw an Amazon FTE badge in Lake City about two weeks ago, so I'd get ready for lots more Lake City talk on HN... :D The only grocery store on LCW is Fred Meyer (part of the Kroger family of stores, which also includes QFC) and it's the only walkable one--outside of Grocery Outlet which barely counts as a grocery store--in the neighborhood. Amazon Fresh is the only way to get Whole Foods/Trader Joe's-style offerings without two buses. The new Safeway is at least on route 41 which is nice for quick runs.
- mdturnerphys 13y agoYou can also get to the QFC on Northgate on the 75.
- swampthing 13y agoAh bummer, looks like the QFC on Lake City Way closed a couple years ago... it'd been there forever! Looks like the one on 145th and 15th is still there though (but obviously that's not easily walkable from Lake City Way). Good to see the neighborhood is perhaps up and coming?
