Worked at the island house most of this afternoon and then headed out to check out a Wal-Mart Superstore about 15 miles to my North in Mt. Vernon. It is interesting to note that all of the various box stores are much larger down here than their branches in Bellingham. Costco, Lowe's, Home Depot, Wal-Mart - all of them are substantially larger with way more SKUs.
I would have thought that Bellingham would attract the large stores but I guess that there are enough people living in Skagit, Snohomish and Island county to warrant the bigger stores. Very nice especially since these stores are only 15-20 minutes away from our house instead of 45-60 with the farm.
Enjoyed a late dinner at a local Mexican restaurant and home for the evening.
