I'm in Seattle, and the grocery stores here are almost exactly in the same state. 90% back to normal. Just no one's posting on social media the full shelves now.

It wasn’t a panic. People were rationally stock piling so they would have to make fewer trips to the store later.

Now that they’ve stocked up, they’re not going to the store.

Someone compared it to preparing for a big snowstorm.
I just shopped at my local Trader Joe’s here in Utah and they had pretty much everything back in normal stock amounts. Costco though still was out of 5 or 6 staples
