I am an unabashed fan of trader joes since 1986. That being said I wondered why we were bereft for so long. We had the demographics they like, geographic isolation, higher than typical incomes…but no TJs. First Kirkland/Totem lake (yeah, right…) then Queen Anne (natch), U-District (ok), Burien (what up? Easy access, good parking, wide aisles — still an anomaly). Cap hill (classic), Fre-lard (weird). Sliverdale was like a twilight zone…easy parking, very wide aisles, no jostling, a store 2x bigger than…any TJs I have ever seen.. No, I didn’t go there on purpose, I was in the hood,

I suspect ours will be like Cap Hill: crappy parking, semi-narrow but a larger size store than QA or the U-district.
