Fuel is readily available, and at mostly reasonable prices. You should not expect late hours or expect boat services at fuel docks. Remember 1/3 out 1/3 to get back and 1/3 for reserve just in case. We fill our tanks when we can, not when we need it.
Anacortes: (Cap Sante)
Fuel dock is in front of main office and Safeway is across the street, but you will be asked to move away from fuel dock while you run for provisions.
La Conner on Swinomish Channel:
The fuel dock is at the north end of town and they have a very small selection in the store, but if you move south after fueling about a 1/4 mile and tie up at one of the three public floats, you can walk one block to Pioneer market where they have everything you could want, including ice and wine.
Cornet Bay Marina at Deception Pass:
For groceries only tie up at the State Park floats and walk 1/4 mile to a small convenience store or take boat right to fuel dock at next facility over and save the walk.

Fuel dock, but groceries are a healthy walk, they run a shuttle during the day time.

Easy and convenient fuel and small grocery store with deli counter and ice cream cones.

seems like I missed somewhere,
Oak Harbor, Port Townsend, hmmm!
Tip Several times at fuel stops I have been told by the operator that they will wait a little after closing if I call and tell them I'm on my way. Just a thought for you to remember.
