Here is a good word for a few businesses I frequent in the Bothell/Kenmore area...
Kenmore Safeway, 6850 NE Bothell Way, Kenmore
Never been so much as approached for OC in all the years I have been going there, even by the King County Sheriffs and Kenmore PD who frequent it. Had a few brief conversations with customers however, never negative.
Kenmore Barber, 6524 NE 181st St., Kenmore (425-481-4150)
(10$ haircuts for public servants, i.e. Military, Police, Fire, etc.)
Talked with the owner and the other woman who works there and they are both ok with "a law abiding citizen who packs a firearm with them."  Nice people 
Great Clips, 6850 NE Bothell Way, Kenmore (Right next to Safeway)
I OC there every time and have never had them bat so much as an eye or make a comment. Not sure what their official policy is, but they are a national chain so I imagine its the same as most chain service stores, APSL. Beware: Mothers with children frequent the store, so you MAY be confronted even though I have not. The seating area is small, so you WILL be noticed.
DJs Loan and Sport, 10412 Beardslee Blvd, Bothell (425-486-1919)
Its a family owned business and my FFL dealer of choice ($30) OC isn't common but the brothers that own it don't have any problem with it as long as it stays holstered, same rule as CC.
If anyone would like me to do test case for any of the other businesses in the area, let me know. Be happy to expand my horizons.

I don't know if I'm repeating something here, but check out this post:

It certainly wouldn't be a replacement for the DNP list, but is very cool.

As of this posting, there is no place to post gun friendly locations.
Change this and remember that we are concerned with both forms of carry, not just concealed.
Thanks!

Pro List add -
Needing a haircut badly I decided to stop in and give them a try. Wearing shorts and my 1911 I got a look as I went in but nothing said. Once I was in the chair Gilbert asked if I carried all the time at which point I said I did. He lifted his smock and showed me his pistol as said with a big grin "Me Too." We discussed OpenCarry, guns and laws. He's also a WAC member and collects pistols. I left 75 of the Gun Rights Pamphlets with him and he is now my new barber. For those of you who like the feel of a straight razor its still in use in his shop ($10 for a haircut).

Added the functionality to highlight those businesses that are supportive and the language has been modified to Carry (both open and concealed). So I'd like to invite all of you to come check it out. I've manually entered a bunch of the businesses listed on this site in order to get going. So Check it out! I look forward to seeing you there.
Additionally, each time a business is posted/modified. a related entry is posted to the forums there that have a direct link to the map (for direct discussions on a given business)

Just a correction, Albertson's is owned by parent company Supervalu Inc. not Kroger.

Add Burlington coat factory to the DNP list....
Shot them an email after being kicked out, apparently they changed their policy...
Only uniformed, on duty, police officers, are allowed to carry..
W T F....
Dear Mr. xxxxxxx,
Thank you for contacting us with your question.
We have contacted our legal department, and according to our current policy concerning firearms, unless you are uniformed police officer or member of law enforcement on official business in our stores, we do not allow firearms in our stores.
This policy applies to all the stores we operate in the United States and Puerto Rico.
Sincerely,
Burlington Coat Factory Customer Relations

By law, can't off duty police officers carry anywhere, regardless of what business restricts firearms?

| No, a private business can still make their own rules. SOme departments require their officers to carry off duty, when they encounter a business that prohibits their carry, they must respect that as you and I do.

Interesting. Well, that's understandable. I guess it would be the same circumstances as entering a private residence while off duty. If they're not on duty, and the home owner doesn't want them to bring their weapon inside, then they can't. Same logic that I obviously overlooked.

| Even if they are on duty, they cannot enter private property without permission unless they are investigating a crime.

Are you talking about *any* kind of private property? It seems that would be logical for residences, but a business? Saying if a certain store restricts firearms, and a police officer runs inside to grab some lunch, the store management can legally tell him to leave? If that's true, that sounds kind of funny.

It is true, doesn't happen very often, but it is true. Police do not have blanket authority to go wherever they want unless a crime has occured and the location is part of the investigation.
If I own a business and do not want the police inside it for any reason unless called or they are investigating a crime, I can restrict that.

Wow. I learned something new today. I wonder how many people would actually have the guts to tell an on duty police officer to leave their store while they were grabbing some food.
