BonnieParticipantThe Roxbury Auto Parts rave made me think about this and I thought it would be nice if we could post about great businesses in West Seattle (and surrounding areas) with awesome service.
I’ll repost that Roxbury Auto Parts is the only place I’d go for my auto parts. Please add on other businesses. (or post the link if this was already discussed)

ZenguyParticipantThis is more about places I like, not just about great customer service
Buddha Ruksa (crack chicken…ahhhhh)
Blue Willow (everything)
McClendon Hardware (knowlegable people)
JaK’s (best steaks at an affordable price and Five Star Sidecars)
Spud (first real food I put in my mouth as a baby)
Bird on a Wire Coffee (Roller Derby Girls)
Capers
Marshall’s (not so much for the service as the deals)
Metropolitan Market
Pepperdock
Husky
Full Tilt
Please notice that this list is a bit food heavy.

MeeganMemberCurious Kidstuff! While I might be able to find things for a little less money online, the people who work there are great, and if you’ve ever had anything wrapped, you know what a special present they put together. It’s worth it to spend a couple more bucks for the service that they provide. And it’s a fun place for the little ones to play while you shop.

HelperMonkeyParticipantI would like to rave about Mailbox West in Morgan Junction. Super friendly, knowledgeable and a great alternative to waiting in line at the post office or having to deal with the Jefferson Sq parking lot to visit the UPS store.
March 22, 2011 at 7:21 pm #717843
flowerpetalMemberAnother plus for Mailbox West is that they will take my huge bags of packing peanuts and bubble wrap as long as it’s clean.
