Wine Cellar

One distinct oddity of this store's layout is the placement of the liquor department partially in front of the pharmacy. Most similarly-arranged stores I've seen have the liquor department pushed a little bit further over, placing it next to the pharmacy box instead of in front of it. Anyways, as you can see here, this store has the typical Grocery Palace liquor decor, with separate signage for the wine and beer parts of the department (though this is the only one I got a picture of for some reason). Like most older Albertsons, it also has a PF&Hv3 "beer, wine, & spirits" sign that would have been added after Washington allowed grocery stores to sell hard liquor -- that's probably also why the vodka line on the aisle marker doesn't match the others, as the aisle markers look to date back to PF&Hv1 or 2 instead.
