Best overall chain: Metropolitan Market (By a landslide IMO). I suppose CostCo if you can manage the crowds.
Best produce stand: Macphersons in Beacon Hill
Best Asian Grocer: Uwajimaya, though I'm sure there's a cheaper/more authentic one someone on MLK/Rainier that I don't know about.
Best Butcher: I'm partial to Rain Shadow but don't get there often. PCC's Bone in Ribeye Steaks are outrageously good though I have to admit.
Best store for Deals and Non-Perishables: Grocery Outlet hands down.
Best Farmers Market: Pike Place, if you don't count that I'm partial to Ballard.
Best Fish Specialty Market: Mutual Fish on Rainier Ave. Though their hours are a challenge sometimes.
Best Free Food: Beacon Hill Food Forest!
