Neighborhood News
Grocers
Marie just called (March18 noon) and the following is current information:
Safeway (360)293-5393 hours are 6 am until 1 am. I was told effective tomorrow every Tuesday and Thursday from 7 am until 9am Seniors will have priority for in-store shopping. (SW cannot, obviously, bar non-Seniors from shopping but hoping people will allow Seniors to shop without large crowd during stated time on these two days of the week. Let's hope. For those of us who are early risers that sounds fine.)
Safeway has delivery orders also. Go to it's website for Anacortes WA Safeway. I have never used home delivery service. Anyone have information about this service?
P.S. It is nice to tip home delivery person $3-5.
The Market 360 588 8181 was called and told hours are 6 am until 10 pm. Was informed about The Markets web site but given wrong site. Just go to www.themarketswa.com or
the marketswa.com>anacortes. I did find site and saw their "Curbside" ordering service. I was told they take orders (over phone) between 7 am and noon but web site gives different information. Then you pick up later. You will need to call and go through the actual process and then let us know, please, so we can inform others of correct procedure since misinformation given to Marie.
The Store is at south end of Anacortes--beyond the round -bout--919 37th St. 360 293 2851. Hours are 7 am -7 pm. It has delii open from 7 am until 2 pm. Known for bakery goods too.
Old Salts in Skyline open also. 1900 Skyline Way across from clubhouse. 360 293 0618 Hours are 6:30 am - 9 pm.
