Dearest Costco. We're so glad to make your acquaintance again! I can't believe that Costco isn't getting more love from the Yelp crowd! After living in the midwest and not having a Costco nearby for a few years, we realized what we were missing and vowed to never be without Costco again!
The Yakima Costco is standard in size and excellent in quality - as most are! The $110 per year for an executive membership gets you 2% back on all purchases and some major street cred.
Unlike our Iowa City stop, they don't have indoor parking, but unlike Iowa City, the temp isn't -30 in the winter! The parking situation here is quality, with tons of space for any and all enthusiasts. Inside, they've got everything you expect from Costco - plenty of delightful samples, helpful folks, prime grade meat and a good selection of beer and wine.
At present, about 80% of my clothes, accessories, electronics are from Costco, and a good portion of our food each week is from there as well. While they certainly sell in bulk, the quality of what they offer is so much higher than other big box stores. We've always found that you buy something here and you end up getting a couple levels up from what you'd pay for at other stores. Combine that with a $1.50 hot dog and drink, and you've got a recipe for awesomeness!
Fact: If we ever become homeless, our first $55 is going to be for a Costco membership so we've always got a place to hang and get samples!
