  starbucks? youngstown?    thx wsb for putting together

  • WSB March 16, 2020 (1:45 pm)

    I’m hitting all the indies before worrying about the chains. Starbucks had an announcement yesterday that they were closing some stores and shifting others to pickup only – we were driving around looking for notes on doors last night when the governor’s new edict arrived at 7:30 pm so we had to shift gears. The first two stores we had checked by then (Westwood, Morgan) didn’t have notes on doors.

    • Julie March 16, 2020 (2:51 pm)

      I drove by the Morgan Starbucks today and it was all closed up after 12-noon. I saw a sign in the door but couldn’t read it. 

    • ET March 16, 2020 (4:38 pm)

      a friend of mine who works for starbucks downtown said her crew is moving to the location on fauntleroy way starting tomorrow – so they should remain open. 

  • Youngstown! March 16, 2020 (4:48 pm)

    Younsgtown Coffee is open for coffee and pastries from 7-5! Thank you for thinking of us and supporting the community. Every little bit helps! ❤️

• Kalo March 16, 2020 (1:12 pm)

  Have  the current hours for our local grocery stores been listed on the WSBlog? We’ve been gone for 3 weeks and will need some essentials., but understand store hours have been adjusted.
  Thank you for all your great reporting!

  • WSB March 16, 2020 (1:21 pm)

    None have changed to my knowledge. (If anyone has seen signs to the contrary, please advise!)

    • newnative March 16, 2020 (1:31 pm)

      Metropolitan Market has new temporary hours; 6am-10pm.

      • WSB March 16, 2020 (1:43 pm)

        Thank you! We haven’t been there in several days.

        • Judy March 16, 2020 (4:25 pm)

          Starting Tuesday 3/17 Metropolitan Markets hours will be 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. 

    • Questions March 16, 2020 (1:37 pm)

      Question: Are local grocery stores catching up or are we still seeing bare shelves and a run on basic necessities? Amazon fresh has no deliveries available this week and says “check back later”, and Safeway delivery is two weeks+ out with notes about possible out of stock items. I have a two week emergency supply and got weekly groceries last week, but it’s hard not to panic with all the pics of long lines and empty shelves. Hoping our local stores can catch up soon and folks will calm down a bit so we can go back to our regular old weekly shopping :)

      • WSB March 16, 2020 (1:42 pm)

        We haven’t seen any problems at the independent locally owned groceries (PCC, Thriftway) which we visited again yesterday. That much I can speak to.

        • savoirfaire March 16, 2020 (1:45 pm)

          What time were you at Thriftway? We were there at about 4:30 and there was no tp, also no flour and very little sugar – I guess there’s a lot of stress baking going on right now!

        • newnative March 16, 2020 (2:00 pm)

          Since I only buy what I can carry on my back, I have been to the Admiral stores frequently.  it seems to me, that certain brands are being sold out but other brands are still available. I’m not seeing full-scale gutted /shelves/stores, but your favorite brands might be gone. trying to be helpful by buying smaller amounts. I think the optics of empty shelves and people rushing the big-box stores are self-perpetuating. 

      • WS local March 16, 2020 (1:49 pm)

        I was at the Safeway in Roxbury yesterday afternoon and it was just fine. Not overly busy for a weekend, had all the essential staples. Produce was abundant. The shelves were low for pasta, rice. Soups, yogurt, chili, etc. Same with the bread and they had no chicken in the meat department. Didn’t see the supply of toilet paper. You should be fine to get what you need. 

        • JB March 16, 2020 (4:43 pm)

          Was just at the Roxbury Safeway earlier today and they have LOTS of food. May not be everything you want but there is PLENTY to live on. And atmosphere? People were very kind, civil, pleasant. So were cashiers. Pretty much business as usual. No panic or hysteria thankfully. Several people I talked to said there were there not because they *needed* anything but because they were bored, tired of being couped up at home, and wanted to connect with other people. Imagine that!  :-) 

      • BetsyE March 16, 2020 (1:53 pm)

        We even found toilet paper at Safeway yesterday morning. Seems pretty normal other than that. 

      • AMD March 16, 2020 (5:25 pm)

        The Asian food markets (at least Hung Long and C & T) in White Center are out of TP like everyone, but otherwise have fully-stocked shelves.  I got an e-mail from Fred Meyer saying they were changing some store hours, with a link to check if mine was affected.  As of today their website says QFC is changing to 7am-11pm and Fred Meyer will maintain regular hours.  

    • Ocean March 16, 2020 (2:15 pm)

      The Roxbury Safeway is now closing at 1 am and opening at 6 am.

    • MercyMoi March 16, 2020 (2:37 pm)

      Trader Joe’s announced on their website that ALL stores are on reduced hours as of Monday (today). 9am – 7pm

    • Jason Meucci March 16, 2020 (2:41 pm)

      I was QFC at the Junction this morning and saw them putting up signs for new hours: 7a-11p. 

      • DAFFY March 16, 2020 (3:05 pm)

        Ditto for QFC in Westwood Village. Signs went up around 1:30 this afternoon. 

• Jf March 16, 2020 (1:16 pm)

  Pho aroma does a lot of takeout. I stopped there Saturday evening and they were open doing takeout. 

  • WSB March 16, 2020 (1:18 pm)

    Thanks, adding. Last time I counted food/beverage places in WS there were 100+ so we definitely have dozens more to check.

• Chris March 16, 2020 (1:25 pm)

  Safeway Admiral and Metropolitan Market have adjusted hours as they close during part of the night to restock.   I do not know the hours.   Need to call.  

• ANW March 16, 2020 (1:31 pm)

  This is great! Thanks, WSB! Be well!

• Alex March 16, 2020 (1:41 pm)

  Another shout out for the WSB.   First source of news everyday for me.

• BetsyE March 16, 2020 (1:54 pm)

  Thanks for doing this WSB… totally want to support our locals businesses!!

  • WSB March 16, 2020 (2:00 pm)

    We’ll get into other industries after this one. Some retailers are doing delivery, for example. And then there are other lines of business that need other kinds of support like gift cards … salons, for example.

• Cindi Barker March 16, 2020 (1:57 pm)

  Phenomenal!!! Thank you for spoiling this up for all of West Seattle Tracy!

• TM March 16, 2020 (2:15 pm)

  Was at Thriftway 1230, they were doing great on most items and with a supply in general. TP was the exception.Thankful for the Thriftway and other local store employees, handling a busy and nervous time with grace. Kudos to you all!

• Millie March 16, 2020 (2:15 pm)

  Thanks WSB for your hard work in keeping us all informed!   Well done!!!I am all for supporting our local businesses and neighbors during this unusual period of time.

• Joshua's Mom March 16, 2020 (2:16 pm)

  Thanks Tracy & Patrick and WS Blog “stringers”!!!  You are the best! I always check the blog first thing in the morning and throughout each day for updates; always spot-on.Now, WS let’s get out there and support our local businesses 💞

• alison guinn March 16, 2020 (2:19 pm)

  Fred Meyer in Burien is out of tp, eggs, most pasta, meat and seafood counters are closed. Lots of empty shelves, especially if you buy store brands. Was shocked to see the shuttle buses from the old folks homes dropping off residents to do their shopping.

• Wolfgang March 16, 2020 (2:29 pm)

  Trader Joes now opens at 9 am instead of 8 am, we were there at 8:55ish am and the frozen section was wiped out. Went to Safeway and the dried goods were wiped out (rice, pasta, flour) as well as their canned and bagged instant varieties. 

• Marcee Stone-Vekich March 16, 2020 (2:33 pm)

  I’m extremely grateful for your information. Thank you!!!

• EH March 16, 2020 (2:38 pm)

  This is such a great resource! I will be using this! Thank you for putting it all together and giving our locals a chance to support small businesses and keep everyone mildly sane in this unknown time! 

• LatteRose March 16, 2020 (2:48 pm)

  Thank you so much for doing this!!

• Justducky March 16, 2020 (2:50 pm)

  TJ’s open until 7pm-sorry, I cannot recall when they open. They get shipments every morning, they never know what they will/will not be getting. Canned food and most frozen foods are cleaned out for today. 

• C.A. March 16, 2020 (2:56 pm)

  Spud, on Alki, is open for take out orders though “running on a skeleton crew” until they gauge how much business they’ll be getting. So they ask for your patience and understanding, but also are eager as always to feed their loyal customers, and seemed genuinely appreciative for our patronage when we popped in earlier.

• HS March 16, 2020 (3:29 pm)

  I read that in Australia grocery stores were beginning to set aside the first hour of the day, when the store was at its cleanest, for customers more at risk to shop.

  • DH March 16, 2020 (4:36 pm)

    Some stores in Minneapolis are doing this too. It would be a great service for the elderly and at risk in our community.

• Josie March 16, 2020 (4:17 pm)

  Just ordered Jones Barbecue through DoorDash! 

• songstorm March 16, 2020 (4:35 pm)

  Huge thank you to WSB and all the contributors for this.  We’ll be checking back often.Also, if anyone happens to know of businesses, especially restaurants, that support online gift card purchases, I’d love to know!

  • WSB March 16, 2020 (5:04 pm)

    If you look at the websites, some mention that. Also, we’ll be working on lists of other business categories – like salons (and other categories of body care), which are totally shut down, and suggesting gift certificates is one way to at least get some cash flow going.

• MikeRussellFoto March 16, 2020 (4:37 pm)

  This list is fantastic!! Here’s another one to add…Swinery in Admiral, doing take out only. Call 206-932-4211 to place your orders.

  • WSB March 16, 2020 (5:02 pm)

    Just got a note from them. We went out for a walk around the block and six more came in to add …thank yoU!

• Lyndi March 16, 2020 (4:46 pm)

  Any info on Sunfish? 

• MS March 16, 2020 (4:52 pm)

  La Rustica is doing take out….or, they were last nite. 

  • WSB March 16, 2020 (7:20 pm)

    Just went past there, we took a drive to look at the doors of some places we hadn’t heard from/couldn’t find online. Great note on their door with a “(Heart) West Seattle.” Have added, adding more than half a dozen other places we went past. To the person who asked about Sunfish, no note on their door and they’re closed Mondays, so we don’t know.

• ACG March 16, 2020 (7:31 pm)

  Thank you for doing this, WSB. And thanks for starting another post for other businesses that are trying to stay open. Appreciate all that you do. 

• West Seattle Lurker March 16, 2020 (7:43 pm)
