Fresh fruits and vegetables, along with organic selections of food items needed for healthy home eating are always on the menu at West Seattle. Especially when they're from a local food-supplier.
Stan Philip Richards, a Junction resident and marketing director at Apartments Northwest, feels that the upgraded PCC Natural Markets grocery store -- aimed at opening on California Ave. in a redeveloped property -- is a perfect fit.
Richards and his family currently do most of their grocery shopping at QFC and the Metropolitan Market, due to the stores' high food quality.
