My Favorite Things

Heather Shavey, Assistant Vice President - General Merchandise Manager, Costco Wholesale


With a career spanning more than 30 years with Costco,
nearly 15 of which have been served working in fresh produce, we wanted to know what keeps this vibrant powerhouse balanced in and out of work. From fun times to down
time, here are a few of her favorite things...


  • Loved Ones
  • Skiing
  • Martinis
  • Work as Passion
  • Boating
  • A Clean Crisp White Shirt
  • Cooking
  • Traveling
  • Celebrating

"My loved ones, including our puppy—my boy Bleu—make my life so full of joy."
"Hitting the slopes with my family in one of my favorite places: Whistler, BC."
"Ohhh, the sound of the shaker and the drink. My fave—shaken cold, clean, with Blue cheese olives on the side."
"I love what I do. I love the company I work for. I love the people that I have met through this incredibly industry."
"Seattle is a boating town, and it’s fun to be outside on Lake Washington."
"Perfect for almost any occasion."
"Nothing like my kitchen on a rainy Seattle, Washington, day to cook up a storm."
"I love adventure and the places where my work has taken me."
"Bringing people together for parties, birthdays, and holidays. I love creating moments."
