Silverdale Costco

I know, I know, another blog post!

Silverdale Costco
By far the biggest blessing in my parents moving this last summer is that I have no friends in Olympia. This may sound a little odd, however; this Christmas break we have gotten to spend so much more time together doing adventurous things as a family! Today, we decided to take the scenic route to Silverdale to check off this Costco. I have to say I don't think I had ever been to this section of the state. It was quite fun!

We really only got samples at Costco, because we saw Olive Garden on the way in, and that looked much better! But, this Costco was quite large and we tried the best Korean pears! Probably, going to have to get some when I get back to school. On the drive home we got to hear stories of Dad being a young troop as we drove through his old stompin grounds.

This brings the tally of 5 Costcos I checked off this break! Until next time west side!

Fife, Tukwila, Seattle & Puyallup

Fife Costco
I am now over half way done with my mission. Last week as a family we road tripped up I-5 hitting Costcos, and stopping to shop along the way. The first one we stopped at was the Fife Costco. This one was fun because it was a business center. There were many things we had never seen at Costco before, like the print shop and refurbished electronics.






Tukwila Costco
We then went to the Tukwila Costco. There was nothing too exciting about this Costco, except that it looked like it probably originally had only been half the size it was now, because there was a random wall in the middle of the store. We ate lunch here.







Seattle Costco-Notice Julie's Face!
After, a nice shopping trip at South Center we went to the Seattle Costco. This store was funny to me because it was not to far from Safeco Field. You don't picture Costco in the middle of big city! The coolest part of this Costco was in the parking lot was a Car Wash!






Puyallup Costco
Then on the way home we decided to go a little bit out of the way to hit the Puyallup Costco. By this time we were getting a little Costcoed out so we only got Frozen Yogurt in the food court. However, Andrea brought in a cup from the Tukwila Costco, when we had lunch, in her purse and filled it up.  I thought it was weird, but she seemed not too.

Austin!




Also, in this post we have to give a special shout out to Andrea's boyfriend, Austin. He was inspired by our trip, and sent us a picture of himself in front of the Tumwater Costco. Which leads me to remind everyone, if you find yourself at a new Costco, see something at Costco, our just want to make it on my blog send me pic! You never know if you'll end up here!





17 down, 11 in Western Washington and 1 in Eastern Washington to go!
