Warehouse hours and what’s inside
The Tacoma warehouse sits just off Interstate 5 at the South 37th Street exit, an easy pull-off whether you’re coming from the Tacoma Mall area, the North End, or down from the Highway 16 corridor. General warehouse hours run about Monday–Friday 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sunday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with Executive members often allowed in roughly an hour earlier than Gold Star and Business members. Costco also adjusts hours around holidays and occasionally for member-only events. Because those shifts aren’t always announced far in advance, treat the official Tacoma warehouse page as the source of truth and confirm before a late-evening or holiday run.
Inside, this location carries the full department set Pierce County shoppers expect: bakery, deli, fresh meat and produce, an optical department, a hearing aid center, a tire service center, the pharmacy, a photo and membership desk, and the food court. The membership counter handles new sign-ups, renewals, and Executive upgrades; you’ll find it near the entrance. If you’re comparing warehouses, note that the Tacoma store is a standard members’ warehouse — for restaurant-pack sizes and business goods, you’ll want the Fife Business Center covered below.
Gas hours and how to check today’s price
The Costco fuel station on South 37th is one of the lowest-priced pumps in Tacoma on most days, which is exactly why the lines form. The station keeps longer hours than the warehouse — typically opening around 6:00 AM and running into the evening, with shorter Sunday hours — so an early fill-up before the warehouse opens is a common move. Confirm the current gas hours on the official warehouse page, and remember you need a valid Costco membership card (or the Costco app’s digital card) to activate the pump.
Here’s the honest part about price: Costco’s pump price changes throughout the day and we won’t print a number that’s wrong by the time you read it. To see what regular, premium, and diesel actually cost right now at the Tacoma station, check the live Costco Tacoma fuel price on GasBuddy — it’s crowd-updated and reflects the current posted price far better than any static figure. Bookmark that link; it’s the single most useful page on this desk.
Pharmacy, optical, and tire service
The Costco Pharmacy keeps its own hours, narrower than the warehouse — generally weekday mornings through evening, a shorter Saturday, and closed Sunday — and it may pause briefly midday when a single pharmacist is on duty. You do not need a Costco membership to use the pharmacy or fill prescriptions, a point many Pierce County residents miss. Save the pharmacy direct line, (253) 475-5595, and check current hours and services on the official Costco Tacoma page before a refill run.
The optical department handles eye exams (by an independent optometrist), glasses, and contacts; the hearing aid center runs free hearing tests. The tire service center is its own operation with a separate phone line, (253) 671-6018, and Costco strongly recommends booking ahead rather than walking in — appointments go fast, especially on weekends. You can review hours and reviews on the Costco Tacoma tire center listing and schedule through Costco’s tire appointment system.
The Fife Business Center and food court
When people search for the “Tacoma Costco Business Center,” what they’re after is the Costco Business Center in Fife at 3900 20th St E, Fife, WA 98424, just up I-5 in Pierce County — phone (253) 719-1950. Business Centers are a different animal from a regular warehouse: they stock restaurant- and office-scale quantities, more commercial groceries and janitorial supplies, and far less of the apparel, electronics, and seasonal merchandise you’d browse in Tacoma. They also open early (commonly 7:00 AM) for contractors and food-service buyers, and any Costco member can shop there. Check current hours and the department list on the official Fife Business Center page.
Back at the Tacoma warehouse, the food court is the reliable finish to a trip — the hot dog and soda combo, pizza by the slice or whole, the chicken bake, and the rotating soft-serve and sundae options. Food court hours generally track the warehouse hours. For job seekers, Costco hires steadily across the Tacoma and Fife locations for stockers, cashiers, forklift operators, food court, tire, and membership roles; apply through Costco’s official careers site and filter by Tacoma or Fife.
