New Pierce County grocery store opens soon in former Rite Aid building

A new grocery store in the works for over a year in Pierce County is set to open this month. In a social media post this week, Grocery Outlet announced the store at 22201 Meridian E. in Graham will have its grand opening at 7 a.m. Nov. 19. Monday was the first day of stocking and “setting the store,” according to the post. In early October, the store announced more than 300 people had applied to work at the store. The News Tribune first reported on plans for the store in October 2025 . The building, formerly a Rite Aid, was purchased in May 2025 by an LLC affiliated with Dickerhoof Properties of Corvallis, Oregon. Dickerhoof owns/manages retail property across multiple states. Plans for the Graham site were submitted near the end of July 2025. Another Dickerhoof Properties-affiliated property in Belfair (also a former Rite Aid) saw the opening of a Grocery Outlet last fall. A third new Grocery Outlet that’s been planned for the former Big Lots site at 5401 100th St. SW, Suite 102, is still in the works. Kelie Kahler, media representative for the City of Lakewood, told The News Tribune via email late Tuesday that: “The

The Crackly Fried Chicken Oprah Had Flown Across The Country Comes From A Tiny Washington Takeout Counter

Oprah Winfrey once had fried chicken from a modest Washington takeout counter flown across the country. Yes, the same Oprah. The chicken traveled farther than most of us do on vacation. The skin is the real headliner here. It comes out crackly enough to make noise when you bite in.

This Retro Washington Drive-In Pairs Hand-Cut Fries With Shakes Made From Snoqualmie Ice Cream

The ice cream in the shakes at this little burger stand is custom made by a beloved Washington creamery. That detail alone made me sit up, because shakes usually play backup to the burger and here they might steal the show. The fries get serious respect too, since they are...

This Washington Restaurant Has Fed The Same Hometown Families For Generations And Still Packs The House

One pot of chili has been feeding the same neighborhood since 1922. Even the secret recipe is famously guarded, with one person said to know all of it. That kind of loyalty is rare in Washington, or anywhere. The menu still hangs on an old-school board with plastic letters. You...

Korean Fried Chicken Comes Glossy At These 10 Washington Spots

Korean fried chicken often takes two trips through the fryer. That second dip builds a shell sturdy enough to hold a thick, shiny sauce without going soggy. I love that the sauces sound like a dessert menu crossed with a spice rack. Honey butter, soy garlic, sweet and spicy yangnyeom, even cheddar powder dusted on top like snow.

The Seattle Restaurant Anthony Bourdain Called 'A Holy Place'

Anthony Bourdain spent many years of his life highlighting underrated restaurants across the globe, but some of his favorites were closer to home in the United States. While his frequent visits to restaurants up and down the East Coast led Bourdain to discover that the best cheesesteak isn't from Philly, his visits to the Pacific Northwest caused him to find a restaurant that he considers to be a one-of-a-kind sandwich shop in the heart of Seattle: Salumi.

Best Burger Joint: Great State Burger

This article originally appeared in the November/December 2026 issue of Seattle magazine. Sometimes, the best thing s are the most straightforward. When it comes to a burger, most people don’t care about the bells and whistles—it’s attention to ingredients and quality preparation that truly stands out. At Great State Burger, that means using beef from Pure Country Farms, a farm in Ephrata that prides itself on grass-fed cows without antibiotics, hormones, or stimulants. It arrives fresh, is prepped and grilled in-house, then served in varying configurations, from a plain cheeseburger with ketchup to the Boss Burger: two beef patties, two slices of American cheese, organic lettuce, pickles, and the brand’s own State Sauce. Recently, Great State Burger opened a location in the newly renovated C Concourse at Sea-Tac Airport, so you can grab a burger and fries before you fly.
