Patch Mercer Island, WA --Where in Mercer Island can you find Girl Scout cookies this season? The Girl Scouts of Western Washington are making it easier than ever to lay your hands on those seasonal sweet treats, wherever you happen to be.
Through March 17, you can use the Online Cookie Locator to zero in on your neighborhood cookie booth. Just type in your ZIP code at http://cookielocator.littlebrownie.com/. According to the calendar on that site, locations (with various dates) include QFC, Menchie's, Yo Mercer and the Mercer Island Thrift Shop.
There's even a free app for your iPhone or Android smartphone, for when you get the hankering for a Thin Mint or Tagalong when you're out and about.
*You also can share your details with us:* if your troop is selling cookies, please post details in the comments below, or post your cookie sale dates and locations in our events calendar.
According to Girl Scouts of Western Washington, sales in front of local stores and businesses will be March 1 to 17 this year. Cookies in Western Washington are $4 per box.
The cookie sales help teach scouts entrepreneurship, goal setting, money management and other skills, according to the Girl Scouts.
