Costco has plans on the table to add a gas station to its flagship warehouse in Kirkland. Needless to say, many in the North Rose Hill neighborhood are less than pleased at the thought of a gas station intruding further into their neighborhood. The as yet unnamed site will definitely get well vetted by the city under the watchful eyes of the neighbors. Potential issues already identified by the city include:
- concerns regarding impacts on air quality
- wetlands
- pedestrian safety
- cut-through traffic
What are your views? Would the addition of a gas station at Costco be something you would support?

Why is this even an issue. Does any out there think that cheap gas will come back? Any one who buys gas at Costco saves real dollars. People buy gas somewhere anyway, so the traffic that comes to Costco won’t go someplace else.
You’d think that competition would keep prices a bit lower, but buyers still go to the 76 station diagonally across from the ARCO on Rose Hill–it’s always considerably more expensive there.

eenvironmental concerns must be addressed, but wouldn’t we all like to get cheaper gas in Kirkland?
When the Costco stores in Bellevue and Redmond open, traffic to this store will drop off, so any additional traffic for gas will be mitigated.

When the Issaquah and Woodinville stores opened, there was only a slight softening of traffic at the Kirkland store and then it resumed to a higher level.

As a fellow Kirkland resident can I say ‘Waaah’. I’m considerably more concerned with the 60,000+ commuters per month that will be coming through with the Google-plex.
And I wouldn’t mind it being down near the Costco, except that the light at 85th & 120th is one of the worst ever.
