as of October 29, 2009 the official word is Costco will be taking food stamps. .msnbc.msn.com/id/33509601/ns/business-retail/

12/28/09: I've just checked the Sequim Washington Costco and the answer is "yes" they now accept EBT.

No, they do not. I googled "Costco accepts food stamps" and a Costco pdf popped up that says they do not.

As of June 2009, Costco in NY - Astoria, Queens and Sunset Park, Brooklyn has been taking food stamps.

The following link is a post from the NY Times, showing the pilot program and how NY is planning on changing because of the economics. According to state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, if Costco refuses to not accept food stamps in the East Harlem location he will seek legal actions. *note the 2nd link

I say as a community that we should be able to contact our state government and ask them to follow in NY's footsteps and help us during these serious times of economics.
