FOLLOWUP: For those who asked how the new West Seattle PCC Community Markets space is going

When we reported last week on the new signage at the future Whole Foods Market space on the north and west sides of The Whittaker (4755 Fauntleroy Way SW), promising that it will be “open (in) fall 2019,” some WSB readers suggested an update on the new PCC Community Markets-West Seattle (WSB sponsor) space. The project at 2749 California SW, with PCC on the ground floor and three stories of apartments above, has been under construction now for a year, and as shown in our photo, is now the site of the only tower crane currently in use in West Seattle. We asked PCC for an update – here’s the reply from spokesperson Heather Snavely: “Regarding opening, we’re looking forward to returning to West Seattle in the fourth quarter of this year. We’re so grateful to the West Seattle PCC members and shoppers who’ve continued to shop our co-op at our Burien and Columbia City stores, and we’re excited to share more about the new West Seattle store in the coming months.” (You can also still get PCC groceries delivered.)

Can’t wait for PCC to reopen. Wondering if anyone has experience with PCC delivery through Instacart, any problems? I’ve ordered weekly PCC free delivery through Amazon Prime Now for a year and a half, but as of January 1, that relationship sadly seems to have ended.

My guess is Amazon’s agreement with PCC expired and they opted not to renew because PCC competes with their own Whole Foods. I have used both Instacart and Prime Now for PCC. Except for the delivery fee, I prefer Instacart because you can specify substitute items and make other notes for the shopper. The Instacart shoppers are also more communicative while they shop, although Prime Now has improved in this area. Also, items sold by weight are available in .25 lb increments, and some items Prime Now sells must be purchased in 1 lb increments.

Can’t wait til PCC is back in West Seattle! I went there often whether weekly shopping or to pick up a slice or coffee or meet a friend for lunch. We eagerly await the new store opening later this year :)

Sorry, comment time is over.
