With, unfortunately, a big gap between 1935 and 1971. Anyone want to fill it in for me?

1935 to 1971 is quite a gap...I'm surprised there are any common addresses between those years at all!
It's a little disappointing that a city with a long history of Safeway operations has so little in the way of good, visible Safeway artifacts. 1265 Center St NE is still the site of a Safeway today; unfortunately the building looks new and Historical Aerials suggests that a 1950s-era store was torn down and replaced in the 1990s. 1535 Edgewater is a gable store partially hidden under a newer facade. A few other buildings of that era survive; but they've been remuddled to nothingness.

"The pale pastels which have been featured in most food stores during the past 20 years are no longer in tune with the mood of the 1970s."
