Bellevue Whole Foods

Posted by seattlenewbie on March 3, 2008

Took the family to the Bellevue Whole Foods on Saturday, and I have to say I was impressed.  It was the first time I actually “shopped” at a Whole Foods.  The service was excellent and it seemed that everyone there wanted to work there.  Not the usual “I only work here becuase it’s a job” like at most supermarkets.  The wifey, son, and I went up and down all the isles just to have a look at what was available.  We ended up spending about $20 or so, on some bakery items and some udon.  The guy at the fresh fish section almost had us buying some Alaskan king crab legs but we had that the night before so nice try my friend.  I told him we would have to wait until next payday. 

Some of our friends shop there exclusivily but I am not sure if we will do that.  It’s a little out of the way and our local supermarket carries a lot of the same brands and other organic alternatives.  I think it will be more of a monthly trip, or if we have nothing else to do type thing. 

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention.  They have a mean deli section with all types of cooked foods!!  I had pulled pork, mashed potatoes, and califlower.  My wife had a salad and some sort of baked chicken.  We were both very satisfied with the meal!!
