OK, so your 5 year old needs a humidifier because he's got a new cough, your 3 year old has a runny nose, and your 1 year old needs to have have her antibiotic refilled and you just happen to run out of diapers at the wrong time. You're in Kirkland and it's 2:30 in the morning, what do you do?
Walgreens to the rescue!
Yup, this is a one stop, 24-hour stop for all of the those things and if you didn't like to wait in the store for all those medications, you can go across the parking lot for groceries at the local Safeway (yes the map is a little off). Here, you can pick up cheap electronics, and some not-bad door crasher type sales. The cheap electronics are generally cheap in quality, not necessarily price.
Of course, the fine people at Safeway could tell you to go use their drug store, but as of this point I know that nationwide, I'm covered at Walgreens. At Safeway, I'm not sure if that's set up yet.
It wouldn't be fair if I was all upbeat about this place and give it only 3 stars. This place loses it's star at about one time of week. About 12pm - 9 pm Friday nights. It appears most of Kirkland gets sick about this time and requires presecription medicine. They do staff as best they can, but sometimes the drive up counter can get 4-5 cars deep at this time with 4-5 people at the check out stand in the pharmacy. Updating records when you get new insurance can be a pain as well when you have a family. Other than that? The wait times are pretty good ranging from 30mins-1 hour.
If you work nights like I do and are up at odd hours anyway, these two stores on each side of the parking lot, Safeway and Walgreens, are your fairly all-inclusive 24 hour Food & Drug stops in Kirkland.

Dr. Mary Tsuang delivered my little girl 3 years ago and I had a very high risk pregnancy. I was on bedrest at Evergreen for 2 months and I saw her just about everyday. She was absolutely amazing and now that I'm pregnant again I will travel all the way from Kent so she can be my doctor again.

Dr. Suhr is an asset to the medical community. He seems to go the extra mile for his patients and is genuinely concerned for their well being. He is a proactive doctor and willing to spend the time with you during appointments. Knowledgeable and well liked, he is an internal medicine doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Sturgell since I was a kid (20+ years now--yikes!) and I credit the fact that I have only have one cavity to him. The one mini-cavity I have had came when I went away to college and didn't get my regular cleanings. I was terrified after all of the dentist/drill horror stories and let Dr. Sturgell know. He was kind enough to give me a bit of nitrous oxide to make me less anxious and then was quite gentle. With headphones on I hardly knew anything was happening in my mouth. Finding a dentist is hard but one that is gentle and is personable is and accomplishment.

I've been to the Sanctuary Spa for facials and pedicures. They offer many other services including massages and the typical offerings of spas, along with a yoga studio next door.
When you drive up and see it's in a strip mall, across from a movie theater, you may be concerned about the atmosphere. Wait til you get inside. You'll forget you're anywhere near civilization. I've never heard traffic or anything else going on in the rooms outside of mine.
You'll be ushered down a hallway along side a stream built into the floor. Accept the cucumber water, even if you're not thirsty. It's delicious. A room will be prepared for you with two fluffy white bathrobes so you can have the size you desire. There will be massage slippers and a basket to place your clothes and belongings into.
Next, you spend some time in one of the steam showers. There are two in each changing room, one with lights and painted brightly and one dark and painted black for that dark, steamy experience.
After you've steamed yourself, put on your robe and slippers and wait for your technician to come and get you.
Back out to the hall area for you foot bath/massage that is included with your facial.
Last year they offered the pumpkin facial which makes your skin amazingly soft and makes you look forward to thanksgiving. I went earlier this year and it wasn't available but it might be back as we get into November.
The technicians are discreet, leaving the room while you climb into the warm, soft bed. After the skin analysis, it's very quiet and relaxing.
After the facial, you proceed to your next service or out to the hallway where you get a warm plum drink. Again, take it. It's good.
Prices are comparable or slightly higher than some other spas but well worth it for some pampering.

I have no idea why the store management would let Rob M. work the 15 items or less line during the busiest time of the day. This individual really needs to work on his people-to-people skills. I understand that the weather conditions outside are not the best, but that does not give him a reason to be rude and nasty to the people that are the reason for his paycheck. I doubt that I will go back to this particular store. If I do I will make certain that I go to a different line. One he is not the cashier of.

Pros: Newly remodeled Safeway. Beside an experienced Great Clips and Liquor store. Good Deli, Bakery and China Express, Organic Foods store.
Cons: stockers aren't that experienced and sometimes can appear a little lost. 9am - 1 am is just silly for a Safeway.
Overview: Nearby Woodinville, Bothell and Kirkland, this Juanita Safeway does have quite a few things that are next to it. Other than the things mentioned above it is near a 7-11, Dairy Queen, Blockbusters, McDonald's (with play area... though it's awfully cold in the winter).
Inside, the Starbucks closes way too early at about 7 or 8 pm but the staff are about average in speed. Pastries offered primarily come from the in-store bakery as the ones offered from the main office tend to be a little... stale.
Carts are stored outside in a covered area, so those with children who are sensitive to such things, will probably appreciate a coat placed under them once they are in the store.
Overall? This Safeway seems to be like many newly remodeled ones in the area, nice amenities, with a staff that still needs seasoning. Only the hours and staff are drawbacks.
