Looking through their photos, I see a poster for "Wine Country" next to the bakery. Washington's wine country is around the Walla Walla area, a 4.5 hour drive from Seattle. This might be the Walla Walla store.

Looking at Historic Aerials, the Walla Walla Albertsons was rebuilt around 2003 or so. Haggen bought this store and Albertsons bought it back. Might be an original Albertsons.
Definitely the same store. Looking at a bakery photo in the current Walla Walla on Google maps you can see the bakery with all of the prep area exposed even electrical cords hanging out the ceiling into the middle of the department. It is amazing to me how they cheaped out on some of these builds. When you look at the grocery palace type stores they built around the same time, then you look at these...

Also the exterior of these looks like a Grocery Palace.

This was clearly their "value build" store model. Cheap to build and they spared no expense on decor, didn't even attempt to make them look classy. What is ironic is these stores follow the floorplan of the stores they are building new today.
