We usually do a Costco run about once a month.

Bradley Carothers

I work at Costco

Raquel Meyers

Will be sad when it moves. Why can't we have anything good on the east side of Bend. It is so convenient for me right now. Hopefully the new corridor is there before it opens.

Bob Petow

Once or twice a month, but that will drop if it relocates to north Bend...now it's just blocks away!

Janice Mahder

I live close now. I will have change my pharmacy. It's too far to drive to get medications and thats when I shop.

Shelly Blakley

Probably shop less when they move... way out of my way at the north emd

Because I don't live closer to it anymore but if it moves north of Bend I will definitely renew my card and shop Costco more.

Household is 2 senior citizens. We would never use giant size anything. Membership is not cost effective for us and Costco is 20 miles away. Also, hate the crowds & parking.

Lynne Wilson

I live too far away and the traffic is so bad in Bend now

I dropped my Costco membership in 2020. Until then I had been a member since they opened in 1994. I thought I would miss the membership but honestly since Winco came in I do not miss it a bit.

Pat Glandon

Don't like membership fee.

Just when I run out of TP... every couple of months.

Rick Allen

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
