I haven't spent a lot of time in Seattle so I can't comment there, but in my experience urban supermarkets are more likely to have a parking lot underneath the building or in general have less parking than a suburban supermarket.

Seattle has a mix of these. In my neighborhood, the closest supermarket has a gigantic parking lot. I never think of walking there.

But in contrast, the QFC on Broadway in Capital Hill for instance, has no above-ground parking lot. And is very walkable.

Yes, capital hill is great. Check out grocery stores in Columbia City, Rainier Beach, and lots of neighborhoods in north Seattle.

There's actually a parking lot above the QFC. There's also a solid ramen place and a drugstore up there.

I assume they are talking about the other QFC on Broadway (north of the Pike St one)

That one closed about a year back unfortunately.

That's what the supermarket in Lower Queen Anne looked like when I lived in Seattle.

Out of curiosity, which one: QFC or Safeway?

both
