"Who has the key to the liquor cabinet? I've got 25 people lined up over there!" yelled one worker at the store.
Shoppers were lined up down every aisle waiting to check out.
At Costco stores around the area, people stocked up in bulk, apparently specifically on liquor.
"Hat tip to the lady in front of me at Costco. 18 bottles of wine, 2 cases of Fremont IPA, & cherry tomatoes. Godspeed, ma'am," wrote MS Kalara on Twitter.
At Fred Meyer, shoppers described a "war zone" of "combat shopping."

I have to get hay and chicken feed!
When I visited Oregon I noticed you could tell locals from nonlocals by looking at their legs. Oregonians think gaiters are high fashion, nonlocals just haven’t experienced Oregon trench foot.
Yep, that’s what it looked like!
I remember that bus! That was the same year it dawned on the city that they shouldn’t run articulated buses in snow.
We get it canned from one of the prepper food places when we don’t have time to drive over to the Mormon Cannery (it’s a 2 hour drive). . .
Lasts 20 years unopened. We also use it for cooking, so a
#10 can of powdered milk or a #10 can of powdered whole eggs rarely lasts more than a few months until gone. . .
A pack of drain stoppers from Dollar General will fix that tub drain... there’s a big flat on that fits perfectly over the drain grid on tubs.
14 years in North Bend/Coos Bay......What’s an umbrella??
Nice. That sounds great.
I had a plumber come in a drill the lines out. Works like a champ now.
[Our roads are already starting to look like a moonscape]
If it was Mars you could look for the flag Neil Armstrong planted!! /Democrat Politician
SJL. Yeah. Homegirl is a real rocket scientist.
Yep! LOL!
Tip for you... go to the feed store and get equine pine pellet litter for horse stalls. MUCH cheaper than Feline Pine and it’s the exact same stuff.
That’s the sucky thing about hurricanes... the power goes out and everything you stored in the freezer has to be consumed before it all spoils. So... we stock up on charcoal and lighter fluid because all that seafood and venison needs grilling. The hurricane party isn’t frivolous, it is a survival tactic. If you don’t eat it, it will spoil and stink...
Yes.
We live in hurricane territory, as well :-)
Have survived SEVERAL!
May you wait forever!
Good for you!!
Do you have a wood stove? Just curious what your heat source is, for these days of 20º weather, without power.
TIA.
I hate what’s happened to Redmond! All those stupid looking condos/apartments or whatever they are. Everything feels so closed in. Nothing like it was back in the 80s/90s. I grew up in Snoqualmie and used to go to Redmond quite often!
only the essentials: beer and chips.
this report reminds me of what happened before every big snow storm for the 30 years I lived in DC.
Electric baseboard heat. I’m on second floor, rarely turn it on. Even on the coldest days, it’s never lower than 55 degrees. People in downstairs apartments have electric bills 2 - 3x higher.
