Our newest sponsor is celebrating a milestone — PCC Natural Markets opened its West Seattle location (2749 California SW) 20 years ago, and invites you to a big party September 13th with free food, fun, samples, even cooking demonstrations. The full celebration plan is on the PCC website. Here’s what else PCC wants you to know: When you crave all that’s fresh, local and organic, we hope you’ll visit all of us at PCC Natural Markets. We’ve served West Seattle since 1989 and are proud supporters of the West Seattle Food Bank, the Summer Concert Series at Hiawatha and numerous schools and community groups.

We began as a food-buying club of 15 families back in 1953. Today we’re the largest consumer-owned, natural food co-operative in the United States. Co-operative means our nine locations around the Sound are owned by our roughly 45,000 members. Not a member? You’re still plenty welcome to shop with us! But we hope you’ll consider joining the co-op to support sustainable agriculture and our long-running, environmentally friendly, community-based business.

You won’t find high-fructose corn syrup or plastic bags in our stores. Here’s just a sampling of what you will find in West Seattle: Produce, meats, dairy and more that meet our standards for quality, flavor and ethics; award-winning cooking classes through our PCC Cooks program; wine tastings; hundreds of kid-tested-and-approved foods labeled throughout the store via our Kid Picks program and a team that’s glad to answer your questions or give you a sample. Here’s to a lifetime of good eating!

Thanks to PCC Natural Markets – open 7 am-11 pm daily in West Seattle – for supporting neighborhood-based, community-collaborative news/information/discussion by sponsoring WSB. Our current sponsors are all here, with info on how to join them.

I love PCC. Always fresh yummy food, great selection, very friendly environment. PCC in West Seattle is my favorite branch! Thank you!

I am happy to see PCC join the WSB. While they are easily the most expensive of the 3 in Admiral they also offer some very unique and higher quality items. My main beef is Ben and Jerry’s Low Fat Phish Food Ice Cream. For reasons beyond me, Safeway carries every flavor under the sun BUT low fat Phish Food. PCC has 1/4 the flavor selection but does stock the low fat Phish Food, just at $1- $2 more. I spend the extra for the low fat (better to be poor and thin than rich and fat) always find a few other great things there. They also have great beef, the selection is limited but the beef is great quality

Love PCC. For their selection of organic and free-range foods, their prices beat Metro Market – from milk to eggs. I’m delighted that Safeway is starting to carry organic produce (cheaper if you have a club card) and can’t help but think it is from the “peer pressure” of stores such as PCC in the marketplace.

Honestly, I think Admiral has a wonderful selection of three stores with each offering a collective variety of prices and products.

Pcc is much more expensive than metro market. Way more.

Really Seven? I love Metro, but buy my protein and organic products at PCC.. especially fish, steaks and chicken. I’ve found great value and lower prices at PCC.

Sorry, comment time is over.
