Yesterday, Alberstons made an official announcement that its new Signature brands are being rolled out to all of its 2,286 stores. Store signage featuring the new brands has been going into Acme stores for the past couple of weeks. The Signature brands, which are Safeway's rebranded private label products, have been arriving on shelves for months now. Supervalu's Essential Everyday products have been fading away, at a painfully slow pace, for just as long. The day I don't see any Essential Everyday products on Acme's shelves can't come soon enough!
Regular service is estimated to take 4-5 weeks. You can get a passport in up to 3 weeks if you request expedited service and pay the additional fee. You will need to schedule an appointment at either the Chicago or Minneapolis passport agency to apply for an emergency passport.
These services require the applicant to appear in person and submit evidence of U.S. citizenship and proof of identity along with a passport photo. Applying through a passport office in Issaquah can take up to 5 weeks to process. This can be reduced to 3 weeks if you request and pay for expedited service. Passports can be issued in less time if you schedule an appointment at the Seattle Passport Agency.
