Everyone knows and loves Girl Scout cookies, but not everyone knows that sale dates, prices and cookie varieties vary from state to state.
Girl Scouts in Western Washington will sell cookies to the public from March 1-17.
As if anyone needs to be reminded, the cookies are Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos and Trefoils.
If you can’t find a place to grab a box or two — just grab your phone. New this year is an online ‘Cookie Locator and Mobile App.’
Girl Scouts sell cookies at locations like Albertsons and QFC on Mercer Island.

Cookie boxes are $4 each. Girl Scouts accept cash, checks and, in some areas, they now accept credit cards.
