Big John's Pacific Food Importers
Big John's isn't a place you discover, it's a place someone tells you about. It's in a back alley by Safeco field. Shelves of olive oil and balsamic, big barrels of bulk herbs and spices, a huge counter of cheeses, nearly 20 different kinds of olives--all for amazingly low prices. Not to mention the shelves and shelves of imports you can't find anywhere else (marmite, guava paste, pomegrante molasses, halumi, akvar). I could spend hours in there. You do have to buy the cheese and olives by the pound, but their selection is so good you'll polish off whatever you buy in no time. The catch? So easy to spend money when it all looks so good.
