Shell

I’ve been to this Shell 5 times, and every time I come 5 out of the 6 pumps have a car in front of them. I’d normally say this is a sign of a good and busy gas station, but *none of the cars are ever actually pumping gas.* I always thought they might be pre-​paying, so I went inside and there was not a single customer inside! What the hell!
The worst part though is their intentional price gouging, especially for premium gas. When I went in on ¹⁰⁄₁₂ their regular was $ 2.99, but their premium was $ 3.69. Not only is the regular almost a dollar more than the current average in Seattle, but the premium is a full 20% higher than the regular. This is not at all suggested on their big sign, which only gives the price for regular gas. This sort of misleading pricing should be illegal.
Luckily, the Safeway on Rainier is working on opening a gas station soon. When that’s done I will never have to shop at this dump again. I hope they go out of business.

This has station is to expensive and after spending $ 85 in gas wouldn’t let me use the restroom. Will never come back here again.

Clean and polite, but gas is too expensive, and they do not accept coupons of any sort. A challenging proposition I’m sure.

This little off-​the-​beaten-​path Shell station is owned and operated by a local family. Or, at least, I assume so.
Often, when I head inside, I’m greeted by the chatter of a couple generations of folks who pause to greet me, and then go right back gossiping with each other. There’s something kind of quaint about it.
They’re building something huge on top of their station too, not sure what that’s going to become, as I’ve never heard of a double-​decker convenience mart-​that would be a LOT of twinkies.
