Fred Meyer

I love this Fred Meyer. They have such a great selection of… well, everything, it seems!
I especially love the natural foods section (comprised of three or four aisles behind the produce section) and the deli, which has much more variety in Boar’s Head brand meats than the Covington Fred Meyer store. My husband loves the Boar’s Head garlic bologna, head cheese, and liverwurst (ugh!)…and this store carries all three. Deli service can be a little slow or confusing at times, but they do their best.
The meat and seafood section always looks clean and well organized. I love that they’ve started stocking fresh meatballs on a regular basis — those are amazingly good.
Staff at this store are always really friendly and it’s usually pretty easy to find someone when you need help. Prices have been good lately — I’ve found that there are lots of items with lowered prices, or items on sale.
On a couple of occasions, I’ve found that they are randomly out of certain items (lemons, for almost a week last Summer or Fall, and my foundation makeup for a few days last Spring), but even still, this is a great store.

Shop here all of the time as the store has more to offer than the safeway across the street that is grossly over priced and there are no employees to help find items.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND DO NOT USE «Self Service» checkout at this location!!! My credit card was compromised and used hours later for over $ 300 at another Fred Meyers location. Reported incident to Management did not seem to even care!!!

This review is for the Floral Dept. I sat down with the head florist and planned everything out weeks in advance for my wedding flowers and paid everything in full beforehand. The morning I showed up to pick up flowers, they were not even out and ready-​a lady had to pull them from the back, then she tried to charge me for them and didn’t believe me when I told her I’d already paid! Luckily I kept all of my receipts and had them with me for proof. It was just not a great experience for the morning of my wedding.

Love this location. The staff at their pharmacy is always helpful. Glenna recently really helped us out with an issue getting my husband’s insulin. Sign up for the rewards card. Points add up fast and you get discounts on fuel. Service at the deli counter here is way better than the Covington location. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there is this one checker lady who is so rude and I have got her 3 times now. I tried going to a longer line to avoid her but a manager directed me to her shorter line. I didn’t know how to refuse without sounding really rude. If it happens again I’m just going to have to be honest with them why I don’t want her line.

The only «everything» store in Maple Valley. Food, clothes, hardware, electronics, home and garden, all under one roof.

I like the clothing selections from latest, young to older styles. Great purse selections. I love the organic section and wish it was even larger. They don’t carry Guittard chocolate for cooking which I’m bummed. I’ve asked them to carry it so that I’m not going to Safeway for them. That request was months ago. It is a higher quality chocolate… why would that matter. Decent selection of cosmetics. I’m always getting something in cosmetics so the more you carry the better. I love Maybelline, Milani, Rimmell, and Wet & Wild. Overall, the staff is nice, with the exception of the cheese gal by the wine isle. I asked where I could find a certain cheese that I’m not familiar with, and she spoke to me very uncourteous. So I couldn’t help but walk away saying, excuse me for bothering you.

The deli counter is great. Boars Head quality products and fast service — which is why I come here for most of my groceries.
Even found a shirt the other day. I had a meeting and wanted a new shirt; something more summery, I walked by and found a lovely mint top that was great for my meeting.
Almost always a great experience here.

This is seriously the nicest Freddy’s I have ever been to! I don’t live out by it but every time I’m in the area I find a reason to go there. Great selection, good staff, fantastic experience every single time.

This store aggravates me more times than I can recall because it was fantastic when it first opened, so I know it can be better. Then it seemed that once the training staff left, the newbie management and staff dropped their game. I’ll explain why.
Most of the problems I have are with the deli and produce. The seafood, cheese, wine, and packaged meats counter in the back are great and helpful though.
Both Fred Meyer and Safeway have hot case whole chicken roasters with a guarantee that if none are in stock between 11am — 7pm, you get a raincheck for a free roaster. It’s getting to the point where the case is guaranteed to be empty when I visit between 5−7pm. I have been hassled for approximately 5 rainchecks to date.
The kicker is, the store should be fully aware of their own promotion, especially by now since I’ve had to make multiple rain check requests. Fred Meyer policy is supposed to provide printed raincheck coupons that you obtain from the customer service counter. The problem is, both deli and service counter ping-​pong you between each other and have no clue how to handle it despite the signage. Eventually, just have to hold firm and ask for a mgr to manually write one out.
The quality of the oven roasters also has gone down hill. At first, they used to be consistently cooked and deliciously seasoned. More often, they are found scorched on one side and rubbery raw skin on the other, which is gross. This has been an ongoing problem.
Deli staff — they are either rude, indifferent, or turn their back to you hoping that you will walk off in the hopes they are busy scrubbing the dirty slicer. On prior visits, they seemed agitated and were yelling at each other something to do with alarms in the back. Also, if I politely ask for 1 pound of shredded wafer meats, don’t throw attitude because it takes longer to slice. These are some of the reasons I stopped going to Safeway, so now here too?
Vegetables have to watch out for. Cherry tomatoes had mold — people were setting them aside. Same goes for packages of basil leaves full of rotten mold. Came back a few days later, same packages sitting there on top of the end cap.
They also had a fantastic red/​white/​blue potato salad that you had to request from the deli case. Apparently it was too popular so the staff relocated it to the open air graveyard where it turns brown and dry, so I stopped buying it. Same goes for other items in that self service bar. Definitely not the same freshness during the grand opening months.

I love Fred Meyers! I love the free babysitting! This store is always clean, a nice selection of products and I’m really impressed with their generic brand.

New nice. Got everything in one store and close to home.

I love my new Fred Meyer!!! Great beer selection!!!
PS Peter Takacs was first!!!
