I am half way between the large store in Bellingham and the one in Lynnwood and when JoAnn's have one of their fantastic sales, I will choose one of those to go to. I like both of them and the quality of the fabric isn't too bad--just check it out closely. The Bellingham area has a lot of LQS shops if you can get a map of the shops. I've brought a friend up there that was visiting from Ea. WA and we had a great time checking out as many of the stores as possible in one day.
We have a new JoAnn's in the Smokey Point area that is only 15 mins for me but it's not as large as the other 2 stores in Blghm. & Lynwd. This new store moved from the main area of Marysville and I'm happy for that as it was about 1/2 hour from me.
