I'm ok with making my own, decent bread and supermarkets there? Publix here has good bread and lunch meat but not sure the equivalent in Washington. Maybe Krogers?

For great bread you'll want to check out Metropolitan Market. They also have an incredible cheese selection and a pretty good grocery store deli that serves pasta to order in addition to more traditional grocery store deli staples.

Marlene's is pretty great, especially if you need gluten free, vegan, or vegetarian alternatives to common items. They also have a killer selection of seasonal mushrooms.

I do like Tacoma Boys/H&L (they're the same thing OP!) especially for produce, cheese, seafood, and red meat as well as odd specialty items like dips and condiments but I find their bakery selection to be inferior to Met's.

No, there's no large chain equivalent to Publix in terms of quality. Plenty of individual stores and smaller chains though.
