Safeway is throughout Oregon and Washington (Western, at least). The
quality is pretty consistent, and store layouts are similar, whether I'm
in Eugene or Ashland or Puyallup, I know where to go for milk or Mystic
Mints (a kind of cookie introduced to me by an evil ex-boyfriend).

I don't know about Von's, but Albertson's is also all over the Pacific
Northwest. They're based in Idaho,  and one or the sidebenefit's to that
is that they frequently have good quality lamb- not just around Easter.

And all this remind's me that I'm about out of milk...
