Costco Wholesale

One of my favorite stores by far. The amounts of good quality products that I find here is absolutely incomparable. This is one stop shop and go for me. I can get all my stuff in one store and that is absolutely satisfying. The story is very large and most of the time it’s busy, but if it’s not busy, then it is not a good sign meaning people don’t like this, but there is a reason why Costco is busy at all times, just because people that know, they know. most of the time I need help there’s always someone on the horizon ready to help.

Costco Issaquah – Great Value, If You Can Brave the Crowds ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4/5) Costco in Issaquah delivered a consistently great experience—with friendly service, solid alcohol selections, and excellent value across the board. We had stopped by another liquor store for comparison, and Costco’s pricing was noticeably more competitive. In fact, compared to online prices (which can fluctuate by over $100 for the same bottle), Costco consistently offers some of the best in-store deals around. That said, one thing to keep in mind is the Costco-sized packaging—you’re usually buying in bulk. So while the price per liter or gallon might be lower, the overall cost can be quite a bit higher. This is perfect if you’re hosting a large gathering, but less ideal for more casual or personal use. Beyond the liquor section, the rest of the store is pretty much what you’d expect from Costco. Our personal favorite is, of course, the $5 rotisserie chicken and the food court options—still unbeatable at $1–$2 for a quick bite. And we absolutely love the free samples on weekends, which remain unmatched by any other grocery competitor. As for this location specifically, be warned: it’s always packed. There’s heavy traffic both in and out of the parking lot almost any time of day, so timing your visit wisely can make a huge difference. But thanks to its high demand and popularity, the selection stays fresh and well-stocked, and the staff keeps things moving smoothly. All in all, it’s a strong choice if you’re prepared to navigate the crowds and make the most of the bulk-value model.

This is, without question, the busiest Costco I have ever visited. As my local Costco, we have a very real love/hate relationship. I’m a quiet-loving introvert, and this place has me feeling overstimulated and ready to escape almost immediately after scanning my card at the entrance. It’s not personal, Costco - it’s just… a lot. That said, the store itself is very well run. It’s consistently clean, the employees are friendly and helpful, and the rotating selection of products is excellent. For the sheer volume of people moving through at any given time, they do an impressive job keeping things efficient and organized inside. The parking lot, however, is where things become a genuine concern. I understand space is limited, but parking often means walking long distances without clearly marked pedestrian pathways while cars move quickly through the lot. It feels particularly unsafe after dark-and in the PNW, that’s a significant portion of the day for much of the year. This isn’t just inconvenient; it’s a safety issue. I’m not suggesting an extreme solution, but improved pedestrian visibility, clearer walkways, or better traffic calming would make a meaningful difference. Inside: chaotic but well-managed. Outside: stressful and potentially unsafe. I’ll keep shopping here, but the parking situation really deserves attention.

One of the few remaining American wholesalers who aren’t corrupt. This corporation is run the way a business should be run- honestly and fairly. They treat their employees well; and customer service is exemplary. There is a membership fee- but well worth it. ‘Honesty is the best policy’, is their motto!

Costco sets the benchmark for bulk retail excellence. The Issaquah location near its headquarters reflects the brand’s dedication to premium quality, generous sizing, and outstanding member value. With trusted Kirkland Signature products and a loyal customer base, Costco transforms shopping into a long-term value partnership.

The pizza workers were trying their hardest, but were swamped with orders of full pizzas. After waiting 50 minutes like they said it would be, we were told it would be another 30 minutes. The employers were trying so hard but their system is extremely flawed. Debated getting a refund after 50 minutes, but our time was already wasted. There were people who had only waited 30 minutes who were getting their pizzas before others who had was ited for over an hour. I recommend ordering pizza elsewhere or order several (3+) hours ahead of time. Overall pretty frustrating.

Good location, but It was extremely busy the day we visited. The parking lot here is one of the absolute worst layouts I've ever seen. If you are someone who is easily triggered by clueless drivers who block the aisles, park far away.

Staff is very helpful and, well, it's a textbook Costco. No surprises with any of that. But its parking lot is truly Hunger Games-level competition on all but the slowest Tuesdays in February. Pro Tip: park in the overflow lot across the street by the "Costco Wholesale" office park. It's allowed and it's way more chill.
