The parking at Costco Clackamas is a nightmare, no matter what time of day you visit. It would be great if they could introduce a better system for managing the chaos. Something like an electronic reader board showing available spots or an AI-driven app that guides you to open spaces and provides estimated wait times. An app could even notify customers of the best times to visit when the parking lot is less crowded. A more efficient parking system, maybe something like a Carvana-style conveyor belt, could really help control traffic flow and make the shopping experience less frustrating. On a positive note, I did manage to pick up a delicious Pad Thai dish that was perfect... read full review

I did a search and there it was, right in SE 84th behind Clackamas Square, hiding in plain sight! On my way to get the chicken, I picked up a beautiful, modern pot shaped like a half moon. It came in black or white and inside are two bromeliads, I chose the yellow bromeliads in a black... read full review
