I've found the clerks at Costco to be very anti-Mac.
I was looking at an iMac G5 there, and the clerk walked up to be and began to relate horror stories of Macs being so difficult to use. I let him go on for a few minutes, laughed at him, and walked off, knowing better. Had I not been a Mac user though, his speech most certainly would have turned me off to the platform.
The clerks at Costco can't even color calibrate their LCD panels, so I wouldn't worry too much about their knowledge.
The point of Costco is to have them there to buy, period.
I would totally go for that! Costco here did have some non-Intel macs for a short while. I was hopefully they would keep carrying them, sadly once they were gone that was all.
Or even better, a small Apple store in Downtown Spokane, WA could satisfy most Eastern WA residents.

Why? There's a local shop known as Mac Odyssey just across the border in Coeur d'Alene. IMO, they're better than the corporate Apple Store in many ways. Local shops dedicated to Apple usually are.
