“Nice gas station. We were camping nearby and stopped in because gas was dirt cheap. Huge selection of hot food, sandwiches and prepared salads and such. Place is huge. Loaded up on snacks to take golfing.”
671 W Brokaw Rd, Camano WA 98282
“Fantastic people who go out of their way to help our community! Last year we had a big wind storm and we lost power for a week, Huntingtons included. They hooked up a generator to their pumps and were writing down people's credit card numbers to charge later when the power came back. They may not be the cheapest, but I happily support those that support us!”

“Best gas and tobacco prices in at least a 25 mile radius. Great product selection in the store. Staff goes above and beyond and is always super friendly and makes me feel like a valued customer. Highly recommend!”
6186 State Rte 20, Anacortes WA 98221
“Passing by on a work trip, so I stopped for a couple of things. Cute little store but what made it stand out was how nice the girl at the register was. Little everyday interactions and how we treat people matters so much more than we realize. ?”
1598 SE Catalina Dr #1474, Oak Harbor WA 98277
“You will need military ID to get access to the base. They have a car wash that offers a discount on gas if you purchase at the pump. Usually some of the cheaper gas in the area. There is a laundromat and coin vending machines inside.”
34933 State Rte 20, Oak Harbor WA 98277
“Nice staff, they have ethanol free gas as an option which is nice as well as a coffee shop in the parking lot. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because they don’t have a regular bathroom they have two porta potties set up in the parking lot.”
12515 Christianson Rd, Anacortes WA 98221
“The cheapest gas you can get, usually 50c or less than most places. It gets very busy, as a result, but it's worth the wait, if you have some time to fill up.”
1020 Commercial Avenue, Anacortes WA 98221
“Gas today, 9/29/2024, $3.64. Pumps worked well. Area was clean. Good location, easy in and out. Use your member number for a discount.”
2410 Commercial Ave, Anacortes WA 98221
“As far as gas stations go, this one checks all the right boxes: very well lit area, restrooms are usually clean, store itself and outside area are usually clean, fuel prices are fair, they have diesel, cigarettes aren't priced ridiculously (under $10 for a pack of Marlboro Black 100s - much better than down the street from my house, where they are almost $12!!! I'm not exaggerating)... anyways, all-in-all a good place for a pit-stop! What would make it 5 stars, however, would be for the store part to also be open 24 hours a day, like the pumps are (if you pay with a card). ?”
17768 WA-536, Mount Vernon WA 98273
“They hire folks with special needs. It's really heartwarming to see. The gas price is often the lowest in the area, too. I'll always come here on the way back home to Canada.”
12939 Casino Dr, Anacortes WA 98221
“Beautiful and clean establishment! Excellent service and lots of surveillance to ensure safety. There's also a great coffee shop across the street! Grateful to have stopped here to get gas and snacks.”
12515 Christianson Rd, Anacortes WA 98221
“It’s not much against a new gas station, but the gas prices are good, the ladies working there are nice and they have hot food that’s delicious. A favorite old school gas station.”
2410 Commercial Ave, Anacortes WA 98221
“The Circle K is now open 24 hours! I'm sure it has been for a while but I didn't know it. They are under construction so part of the store is closed off. It will be really nice when they are done with construction.”
1312 Commercial Avenue, Anacortes WA 98221
“Beth and Winston are two of the nicest people that I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing business with at a gas station in Anacortes! Pleasant with tons of smiles!”
13725 Laconner Whitney Road, Mount Vernon WA 98273
“On our drive back to Seattle, we always make a stop at the La Conner Road Shell station, and it’s a great place to refuel. Right in front, there’s a small coffee stand that’s perfect for a quick pick-me-up. The station itself is spacious and well-stocked, offering plenty of ice and a big variety of snacks, along with all the usual drinks. Inside, the store is roomy and offers a wide selection of goodies, including some hot deli food with an Indian flavor, which is a nice touch. They have a clean restroom that more than one person can use at a time—no need to lock it—so it’s really convenient for travelers. The best part is the staff—everyone is super friendly, and a lot of them seem to be older Indian gentlemen, who really take care of the customers. Whether it’s getting gas, grabbing snacks, or using the restroom, we always feel welcomed and well cared for.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
