Shell

This place continues to be price gouging their customers. Gas price is consistently 50 to 60 cents higher than others. Employees don’t seem to care, «I just work here». This area needs another station for completion.

Don’t buy gas here unless you’re on fumes and can’t get anywhere else. Generally a minimum of 50 cents more per gallon than the Issaquah Costco or Trucktown in North Bend. The extra price doesn’t get better service either… frequently pumps are not working or receipts not printing. Best to just avoid.

The shell has new owners in the last 6 month or so — maybe longer,
the new owners are rude and slow.
When we moved here the employees inside were so kind and knowledgable about the area. I rarely if ever see those folks anymore. The new employees don’t know the area at all although they are kind.
On more than one occasion I would witness the female owner yelling at an employee — she had one in tears over boxes.
I would also be able to watch the news or sports event on the TV while waiting in line. Now the TV is either off or shows multiple security camera images as if we live in some high crime area.
Waited in line for about 10 minutes to get a Snapple while the female owner struggled with hot food and another employee stood behind her with no clue.
The gas prices are also generally about $ 0.30 to $ 0.50 more than any other gas station within 20 miles.
Sadly it is the only gas station within 10 miles. I sure hope another gas station will move in so there can be some competition.
I used to run inside to grab a drink or snack and despite the higher prices would fill up at the Shell. now I avoid it like the plague if I can.

Come here for the fried chicken. Yes, you heard me. Come to shell gas station for the fried chicken. We came at the suggestion of the Comcast technician. Although the chicken could have been seasoned better, the portion was a decent size and the batter is pretty good. We got two thighs, wings, and a Corndog for $ 8. The Corndog was also good.
This will satisfy your fried chicken fix if you’re close by. We will surely return.

I’m on I-​90 W with half an hour left in my trip. The gas light had been on for 5 minutes. That silly part of my brain that I shouldn’t listen to has said… several times… You can totally make it home on the gas left in the tank.
And then — thank god — the smart side woke up and said, DUMBASS, GET GAS!
Oh ya — huh.
So I took the next exit, which was Snoqualmie Pkwy.
At this point Ms Smarty Pants was in complete control; and painfully worried about running out of gas. And that fabulous 30 miles an hour speed limit was not only difficult, it was practically impossible. Thank goodness for cruise control!
I’ve taken this exit before to go to Snoqualmie Falls and I knew there was a gas station… *somewhere*!
Yes indeed somewhere! (insert crazy cackle) 1.3 miles down the road! Which is an ETERNITY when you’re freaking out, have your car set at 32 on cruise control and every single light is programmed to turn red when you approach it.
But I did make it. :)
And it’s brand new and very pretty. The machines are also all new and pretty, with the fancy Shell gas pumps. AND the price was AWESOME! 30 cents less than in Renton. Woop Woop! :D
I did take off a star because I couldn’t get any paper towels out of the dispenser. They were jammed, completely. And I’m also not a fan of the 5 minute drive down the road. Strangely enough though, going back up to the highway is 40 mph.
I’m still taking another exit for gas though.
Just for fun: 21.5 gallons into a 23 gallon tank. OUCH — I would not have made it too much farther and certainly NOT home. ;-)
