another alternative to skykomish would be to continue  west on 2 to the town
of gold bar. it has a new supermarket and a outdoor store. you can also
catch a bus from there(weekdays only)to monroe(with conections to everett
and seattle).monroe has everything from supermarkets to thrift stores. try
the fred meyers food/department store. low prices and they have bulk bins of
food (candy,pasta,spices etc.)and a organic section. hitching a ride to and
from gold bar is suprisingly easy,in the last few years ive probally hitched
it 100plus times ;day, night ,rain and snow i can`t remember waiting more
than a half hour. 
for more bus info ,snohomish countys bus page is under community transit.
