I work right by the Woodinville Costco and it's been a shit show there for the last few days.
I haven't seen any empty spots driving by, tried to go in Friday at lunch and gave up after circling the building without finding a spot. |

Humans are generally stupid creatures that frighten easily.
I'm in North Kitsap county and most of the grocery stores near me are fine, though I heard Costco in Silverdale got ratfucked over the weekend. |

Grocery stores weren't that bad, but tp and cleaners were pretty bare.
I was at shoreline Costco briefly last Friday and it was busy as fuck middle of the day. Otherwise haven't left the house much :-/ maybe I should try to get out to the range. Should be quiet during the week with this weather at Kenmore on the member range |

Bellingham Costco was packed on Sunday. More than usual. People with multiple carts packed full. Haven’t checked out the grocery stores.

 Attached FileThe Tumwater Costco was nuts Sunday am. Normally, if I get there before 1100 hours (when the sample carts deploy) it is pretty chill. Not so 01 March. Jeebus. As I posted to my Book of Face: "You know it's serious when nobody stops for the free samples." No joke - people were blowing right past the free Bagel Bites to score TP and bottled water. All I wanted was some cheap booze and salmon. Both were delicious, btw. |

Smokey Point at 0945 this morning. No paper until Thursday. I wouldn’t say people were panicked but they were for sure there with a purpose, everyone straight back to the water and cleaning supplies.
Gas pumps were empty

We’ve needed to go to Costco but kinda avoided it due to panic etc.
Mostly just needed tp which the wife found at Fred Meyer. We’re good to go here in our household minus a few little things. So far, you can find a lot on Amazon minus N95 type masks. But for how long, I don’t know? This might be “just a flu, or just a cold” buuuuuut, people have died from it and I think there’s more to it than just the average virus. I’m more worried about a disruption of the supply chain and quarantines than anything else. Be safe, be prepared and be smart. |

COSTCO N.SPOKO, was out of Kirkland brand TP, but had charmin. Cases of water was moving swiftly, seemed to be plenty of staple items.
The N95s I bought 3 Jan have been selling like wildfire, I also bought alot of 3m half respirators for $9.95 on amazon, those have quadrupled in price as well. I'm considering raising the price again. Daddy needs a new fishing boat. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I guess you have zero friends and family over 60 or with health issues? Not to mention that the hospitals are going to be full of people with this, good luck if you need any other kind of medical help. https://i.insider.com/5e5fc740fee23d14eb3dd212?width=700&format=jpeg&auto=webp I'll keep my trust in my direct family members that are hospital workers, one of whom is a respiratory therapist here in WA. if folks feel better pretending they will need to hunker indoors for months on end then more power to them. To folks making $$ selling masks that wont do shit because others wont do research I can only smile and wish I had thought to do the same. |

Went to the Business Costco in Fife yesterday. It opens at 7am. About 50 people in line waiting for the doors to open. Usually it's a ghost town. When the door rolled half way up the woman that checks the membership cards made an announcement that everybody was going to be orderly and calm and they would point to you when you were allowed to come in single file. One Korean guy tried to cut the line and was shut down. No TP, paper towel, hand sanitizer or anti bacteria wipes. Lots of bottled water, liquid hand soap and they just got a shipment of rice in. I saw a guy that I hope he buying for a Chinese restaurant but he was loading 24 50lb bags of rice into his van.

Why do people keep comparing the number of illnesses and dead to the flu without any notion to exposure likelihood? It's annoying. No shit the Flu has killed more, so did the bubonic plague...

It’s a dumpster fire around woodinville. Apparently the School District is shutting down for 2 wks too.
Once Costco restocks, we’re gonna have to stock up to counter the idiots cuz we shop for supplies for 11 people, so normally we are at Costco every week/couple weeks for stuff. And it’s so stupid that the first corona death happened last Wednesday, and the “oh so great” Public Health didn’t even know. I potentially was exposed since I chatted with a person from the place where the “unknown actual first death” in WA happened before the public officials came out with the tally

I went to Winco in Lacey today and they had plenty of TP. Only thing they really seemed low on was bottled water, bleach and some cleaning wipes.
Last Friday I went to Costco in Lacey and there were no issues there. Quite a difference in a week, from all reports. My food storage inventory spreadsheet shows I have about 300 "person days" of food stored, plus the normal crap in the pantry and fridge (probably at least another 30 person days there). We have 2.5 mouths to feed. Rob |

Smokey Point Costco wiped out of TP, KS paper towels, bottled water and canned tuna. Maybe other things, but that was I noticed.
Also, the hot dogs were served in brown paper bags and they had no straws for the drinks. I don’t know if they had run out of those items or these were just changes that had already been planned. |

There was literally 6 weeks of warning before things got nutty; you either got your shit together or you did not. For most, the real issue in terms of stocking up will be the effects of companies deciding to do mandatory work from home and schools closing.
People will, ironically, burn a lot more TP when the household isn't crapping at work and school, in addition to going through more food. The schools just closing for a couple of days to "clean" is a feel-good measure for soccer moms. If you had cases in the school, all you're doing is bringing a bunch of students in the incubation period right back into the building to spread it around more. I'm not advocating panic buying. I sure as hell am not advocating going out and jostling with a bunch of people and fighting over TP. But some of you are not quite getting what is going on. Others will look at this and get it: 
This is repeating itself at several other places. That ^ is what Boatswain's chart is talking about. |

It's extraordinarily quiet out there this weekend. I noticed a number of restaurants have closed downtown and eastside.
Inslee is talking about mandatory measures so I'm guessing pretty much all public events are going to be cancelled going forward. This scientist at Fred Hutch has been on the money so far, he's predicted 2000 infected here in WA by 3/15 (next weekend) https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1236097553520660483?s=21 |
