Aasten's Grocery on Queen Anne Hill - Fresh Eggs

A renewed vintage advertising sign for ‘FRESH Eggs!’ at Aasten’s Grocery on Queen Anne Hill. Long gone these days, the grocery was built on the corner of Queen Anne Avenue and West Thomas Street and opened in 1926. The store also sold blackberries and vegetables grown in the family’s garden and the two young daughters delivered goods to homes around the Queen Anne neighborhood. The grocery store my family shopped in during the early 1950s and 1960s would be considered small by today’s mega store standards. I miss the comfortable feeling of knowing the employees, being greeted by name, and not having to walk a football field several times to purchase a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs and a gallon of milk. I still do not like the mega-grocery stores, but unfortunately they offer the best prices…I still shop in my somewhat smaller neighborhood grocery store when it is a savings for my family. Where do you shop?

  1. I like the vintage sign. It is colorful and nostalgic. Sorry, our shopping is at big regional or national grocery stores. There are a few small grocers, but the selection is small and the prices are high.
