Going to the Glitter Sale here last year was one of the craziest, yet most fun shopping experiences of my life. My friend and I got there at about 8am and waited in line. After rushing in we started slowly then ran to the back and staked the vintage area and racks. HOLY LORDDDDD, I got a faux retro pink tulle prom dress (with a jammed zipper sadly, but for 10 bucks, it was great), a blue & red flower print dress from the 60s, an all over silver sequined 80s sweater, a silver sequined belly dancer's halter top and a white sequined stretch belt (I like sequins, okay?).
I can't wait for this year. Bring a slip or bathing suit. And maybe a brick in your handbag if someone tries stealing your vintage fur coat. I know I will bust out my death stare if need be.
I've been to most of the thrift stores in Seattle, and this one is the best of them all. It's huge, and it's well-organized. Every section has a big selection!
Best sections: women's and men's clothes, women's shoes, books, dishes, holiday stuff, yard stuff (mowers, etc.)
Things you can't find elsewhere: wedding dresses, leather jackets, working lamps, bicycles, cheap vintage furniture, sports stuff
Take your time here; you'll need it! But don't expect to be able to go back to retail after you get used to this Goodwill.
If you end up here on the weekend, expect the parking lot to be a bit hectic. There is an easy donation set-up - you can drive right up (except with electronics) and there are helpful people which will unload the items from your car.
The retail shop is pretty decent. Up front you'll find all sorts of clothes, linens, and the like. However if you wander into the back room you'll find luggage, electronics, books, movies, and all sorts of other wonders. I really love the "knick-knack" aisle. It definitely has some interesting things.
On my most recent trip here, I got a nice rolly carry-on suitcase for $4.99! Woohoo for cheap luggage!
I always get lucky when I go to Goodwill.
cheep books, cheep dvds, sweet shirts. It's super fun just to look around. Also to just people watch. LOL
This place is huge, I always find something (usually many somethings) to buy.
Fond memories of this place. Especially when they used to sell popcorn here. I know you're thinking: Eww, why eat when you're at Goodwill? But it's popcorn and just don't touch anything while you enjoy your cone of salty salty goodness.
That said, the best selection here due to sheer size and its location. It gets pretty crazy here, especially on weekends and parking gets backed-up with donation drop-offs, but once you make it through you can spend hours here.
The antiques/"more expensive" stuff section is always fun to look at. I want to buy a cute vintage typewriter there some day. They had a pink one, but I didn't have time to paw through it and see if it still works.
Books are awesome! I found a few books on my mental 'to buy' list just by zoning out. I am definitely ONE with their book section. DVDs are a bit expensive, considering. Kitchenstuffs! browse, browse, browse. Love it. Wall art, I bought a canvas print of a sad bird who only had one leg, where else can you find this? And a handmade painting of a BLENDER, who does this and gives it away? It's hanging in my kitchen now.
Clothing is hit or miss. I find it easier to shop in the men's because the selection is smaller and less busy.
Restrooms are scary. Usually has at least an inch of standing water there..try to hold it until you go to Uwajimaya or something. Yeech.
Biggest goodwill ever! Allways sure to find that one thing you want but don't need.
WOW! I was cleaning out my mother's house and had a lot of stuff to give away. Where do you take them? To your nearest Goodwill. They take EVERYTHING! There were some things that were old and dusty, dusty and rusty, bent and dent, folded, ripped, fairly new, oddly old and the list continues.
The people that took your donations were really nice. They are ready with their big blue roller cart and helped you unload. I think I filled about 7 of those, packed full. The furniture and electronics, like TV and PC, are donated in a separate location by the building. After your transactions, they are happy to give you your tax donation paper...a thank you with a smile! =)
I was curious what the store had after 2 truck loads of donations. I have not been here in a long time. Oh my! They have opened the walls to add more goodies.
Tons of clothes and shoes when you first enter, then towards the back are the books (like a library!), electronics, furniture, household items, seasonal items, toys, etc. INCREDIBLE!
I wish I had the time to spend my hard earned buck. I will update when I do!
A MUST GO!
It's big.
It has this intoxicating, old grandma thickness in the air.
Parking was easy enough.
Just on size alone selection (or the appearance of) is going to be big.
I was only looking for possible additions, enhancements or otherwise "wow, even better" pieces to my Halloween costume, but as I browsed through section by section I was not superbly impressed.
As Dawn, Delilah and I strolled around I just could not picture myself shopping here regularly enough to 'score'. Perhaps if it was some mega sale day I would feel differently.
However, for the most slutterific wonderful shoes EVER, in my size, *sigh* LOVE.
What's this.... TRESH-SHUH! (I say in my best pirate accent). This is what I want you to imagine going through your head when you think of shopping at this Goodwill local.
This place rocks! You can find some really cool random goodies or also some really awesome used clothes.
I always imagine there must be a lot of rich yuppies livin' it up in their downtown condos with way more cool stuff than room, so naturally they donate it to their local Goodwill. With THIS local naturally being the closest Goodwill to downtown, it's a jackpot.
Me -- I've gotten all sorts of goodies: Dior, Armani, and Brooks Brothers suits (that look new and actually fit), some Dolce Gabbana Jeans, a fire pit, and lots and lots of books. :o)
Sure, it's all for a good cause, but Goodwill has some serious goodies for cheap.
I consider shopping at Goodwill as a sort of retail therapy when I'm having a rough day... You look haggered, like you just got ruffed-up in the alley? No problemo, you'll fit right in.
So with a few hours of browsing and maybe $20 dollars later, you'll start to feel like youself again; only better dressed and with cooler toys.
so was running around with friends from Tacoma a couple weeks back and we ended up here
I didn't have any plans of getting anything but hey you never know, what you will find do yo, so I find these end tables from Ikea and they are like brand new, no scratches or nothing, they had just came in so no price on them yet, I asked the kid how much for these and he was how about $20 for both I like done deal dude, he gives me my little slip of paper so i can go pay for them, then we drive around and pick them up
the best score I have make at good will so far
get here early for the best deals this place is always busy
I like the stuff i find here, but it takes FORever to get through the checkout lines. Once i had to wait a good five minutes for a price check for the guy in front of me. The cashier apparently does not have the authority to rule that a plastic tub costs $2.00 and not $2.50. Really? its just fifty cents.
I haven't had the wherewithal to look for clothes here, it just takes so much stamina to sort through so much crap to find one decent shirt.
Dear Goodwill:
Hi, how are you? I know we haven't spoken in about a month, so I wanted to shoot you a letter.
Have I ever told you how much I appreciate you? Whenever I have stuff around my house that I haven't used for awhile, I can bring it to you and you will never turn me away (unless I have a mattress, a half-eaten hamburger, or a TV). Whenever I need to find some clothes that are affordable (you're the affordable standard!), you're where I come. Whenever I need to find a computer cable, a fork, or cheap curtains, you're where I come. I can spend hours browsing you, Goodwill, although sometimes I drive through your parking lot only to turn around, because you're that popular.
Oh, and one more thing: I love the charity work/work training you do.
Thanks,
Steve
Time travel into the past 5, 10, maybe 15 years.
This Goodwill is well-stocked for virtually anything you can imagine. It's like they traveled back to 1991 to a Sears and brought a little bit of everything back with them. Clothing for men, women, and kids, including shoes and accessories, books, electronics, and sporting goods and more fill the racks and shelves. I even saw two bicycles (fair condition 1990s hardtail Specialized Hardrock and a Univega commuter bike) for $15-25 each! There were also cartop roof cargo boxes, piles of golf cubs, and much much more.
Of course, thrift shops are like Forrest's chocolates -- "ya never know what you gonna git". I left with empty hands today as I didn't find the style or size of the gear I was seeking, but those bikes were tempting.
The parking is free and in their own lot -- bus stops are right on Dearborn too. Just be sure you don't head down the "drop off" aisle of the lot, or you'll likely be waiting behind folks donating stuff just to get to a parking spot.
I come in spurts, sometimes staying away for years and then obsessively *treasure* hunting every other day for a week or two. I get a lot of craft and art supplies here and (albeit more rarely) even find some incredible clothing finds, but you can find just about anything here. Really! Great place to get cheap books and record albums (yes vinyl). Reclaim, reuse, and be happy :) They have coupons and check out the tag sales (nearly every day).
I want to be thrifty I really do. I want to buy my clothes at reduced prices and still look cool and hip.
Right now I buy my clothes at high prices and don't look cool or hip.
A number of people have suggested to me that I check this place out as a great place to find a good deal. The problem is it smells like my grandmother's garage after she passed away and the family had to go through everything. Musty and dusty. Those are the two words that come to mind.
Staff was no were to be seen except at the cash registers.
I'm giving it 3 stars because I'm sure I'm the one missing the boat here based on the other reviews. Just please don't hate me because I shop at Nordstroms and can't pull off the cool/hip thing...
Do you need hunting apparel? A mahogany furniture set? Barely-used vintage road bikes? Kitchen wares you plan to wash? Stylish shoes you plan to wear socks in? Fishing poles, tennis rackets and vacuum cleaners?
Do you need worn underwear with the price tag still on it? Nintendo cartridges? Halloween costumes for children (and adults obviously)? Amps, light fixtures, or science fiction?
Do you need a sled? A never-before-worn authentic Dodgers jersey? How about glassware? A pickaxe perhaps? Fucking cool jeans?
If you think you might like to own one of these things, head over to the best damn Goodwill I've ever seen. You'll come in looking for ski poles and walk out with boxing gloves.
Wow, I just spent 2 wondrous hours of sifting through all that is great in the thrift-store-world ... and I want to go back for more!
This place is huge, and with all the fans going - I didn't notice the aromatic thrift store smell at all. The shelves were well organized and it was easy to search for "that perfect ______."
I got awesome bags of yarn (now I just need to learn how to knit) for 99 cents, cute english teacups, a cool old wooden frame, tile coasters etc.
Seriously, I want to go back - in my lack of foresight, I only carried a little basket - what I should have done was grabbed a damn cart - then I'd probably still be there! I guess I could have walked all the way back to the entrance to grab a cart, but the place is JUST THAT BIG! (or I'm just that lazy) ...
My love.
To feed my mother's love for lamp shades and random knick knacks, I used to come here as a child, thinking .. why does it smell like grandpa's closet? Ten years later, my friends and I mob to the Seattle Goodwill. As they are revolved around a program to help many immigrant persons start in the workforce, many of my mom and aunt's close KAIBIGAN (filipino for friend) work here.
So I'll be looking at an obnoxious pair of spandex when a sixty-something Filipino woman taps me on the shoulder and asks YOU'RE BONNIE'S SON aren't you? Although this Goodwill is full of awkward encounters, don't let that shy way from the stuff you'll find there.
I have walked out of there will a pair of vintage Reeboks, an endless amount of flannel, even a pair of SEVEN JEANS.
FYI, make sure you have time on your hands, to search is to be sucessful. ahahah.
With only a couple of days to go before Halloween weekend, I was beginning to panic --- I needed a half-dozen stuffed cats, and all my thrift-store efforts so far had been in vain. A couple of people had recommended Goodwill to me, and when I finally went, I realized that this was where I should have just gone in the first place. Sure, it's a little out of the way, and yes, it's a little scary-looking there at night, especially when the occasional homeless person shambles up to you in the not-so-well-lit parking lot. But a big ol' sign across the front doors proclaims "Halloween Headquarters," and they're not wrong.
This is by far the biggest thrift store I've ever seen --- in fact, I think all the thrift stores I've ever been to in my life would fit inside this one. It's basically a Costco-sized big box, with apparel and accessories in the front, and a giant warehouse-type addition in the back that has housewares, electronics, toys, books, and who knows what else. The book section is impressively large and organized by genre, not just thrown in piles on shelves, and prices are clearly marked. Currently, they're also selling some costume accessories and makeup, and it looks like they sell some inexpensive new items as well (gloves, hats, socks, candy).
I was on a mission, so I headed straight back to the toy section, which had an entire aisle of stuffed animals. Alas, they're not organized by species, so I had to root through the piles for a while to dig up enough cats. But at 2 for $1, you really can't beat the price, and it seems like they toss the nastier stuff --- all the animals on display were clean and nice-looking, and completely free of drool or sinister stains. I've heard that Goodwill is kind of snobbish about what donations they will and won't accept, but I have to admit that the end results are much appreciated.
Checkout is quick and painless, and they keep enough registers open to make it fast and efficient --- there's even an express line for 5 items or less. I even got a big shopping bag that accommodated all my cats, rather than the usual ratty-looking recycled grocery bags that most thrift stores try to cram your stuff into. This place might very well be the Platonic ideal of thrift stores: large, clean, well-organized, and efficient. Goodwill is well worth the trip, especially if you're looking for bulk quantities of stuffed toys to affix to your clothing for Halloween.
A bargain hunter's paradise, Goodwill Dearborn is my favorite place to shop. It's true. Realize I am not at all hurting for cash. I could shop at the mall if I wanted or at many downtown boutiques. But after seeing the utter crap offered on the current retail maket, I want no part of it.
Instead I'll opt for finding $6 linen skirts or $3 silk tops second-hand. Everything I could want is hidden in the racks somewhere. Lucky for me I just happen to be a size that's easy to shop for. With patience there isn't anything I can't find. With a bit of sewing know how, there isn't a look I couldn't achieve by shopping here. I guess there are 3 exceptions to that really. Shoes, undergarments & swimwear. Yeah, I won't touch those.
What makes the Dearborn location unique is its size. The clothing portion is as large as many whole stores. Stretching back into the great beyond is a HUGE section reserved for furniture electronics, house wares, books and whatever else will fit back there. It's awesome.
Best of all it features the great low prices Goodwill is known for. I don't even both with Salvation Army - they're way too expensive.
Some of my favorite finds:
* a new with tag plush kangaroo costume for my neice
* a huge wooden tiki fork & spoon set
* vintage Marimekko framed fabric
* a beautiful silk Laundry dress
Good hunting!
Ah! The Mecca of cool junk and temple of the utterly useless! The huge Goodwill of Seattle is near the CD, Chinatown and a short trip away from the Salvation Army and is the haven of rare finds and keeper of the 'what-were-they-thinking'.
I usually stop by the mighty Goodwill a couple of times a week to troll through the books, the men's suits, toys and furniture. I sometimes find great stuff, sometimes nothing, but I always stop to watch the people who seem to live there, their carts piled high with treasures, ready to pounce on the next trolley pulled by the much-harassed workers. I almost feel sorry for the poor shelf-stockers as the regulars grab and poke at the trolley contents, looking for the next great fleamarket or eBay item. All this in spite of signs stating that nothing is for sale until taken out of the trolleys. Makes me want to slap hands, I tells ya...
You'll find a bunch of great things there, plus a bunch of stuff you weren't expecting (signed footballs?), but chances are you'll end up with a bunch of stuff you weren't even looking for (heck, I always do!)
Goodwill has been cleaning up their act lately, sorting books into sections, ferreting out rarer items for their 'Treasure Shop' or eBay, and trying to keep things a bit cleaner. You can still find some good bargains, but you'll have be watchful...and don't get in the regulars way!
This is my favorite Goodwill location in Seattle. If you're willing to brave the parking lot and invest the time to hunt carefully though the racks, you will be rewarded. My treasures include a $5 Armani sweater, 1/2 off lamps, cool vintage bracelets, dishes, and more. You might not find what you're looking for the first time, but patience is rewarded.
You Naughty Cavernous Den of Second Hand Loveliness. This place is effing huge, one of the largest I have ever been in. From fake leather pants to 8 track players...all your thrifty-ass needs are covered.
I would say the only strike against them was the men's clothing section organization...the sizes are completely mixed, nothing makes any sense. Most of my best finds are the ones that jump off the rack and it can be quite the punch in the huevos when you see that choice piece in the "M" section only for it to be a "XXL". Not quite that tailor made fit.
I did find 2 choice shirts though and 1 I thought was pimpin, but it turned out some one cut the shirttails by about 5 inches. But then that is part of the adventure, I mean its at Goodwill for a reason right!?!
This is the thrift store that set the bar for what a thrift store should be. I generally don't deal with the clothes there. I just walk to the back of the store where there is a gigantic space devoted to household items.
Some of the merchandise is puzzling, some of it is downright funny, but everything is quite a bargain.
They also have a "special" section that they open on occasion and showcase different items. The last time I went it was full of glamourific sequins.
The Seattle Goodwill is the best Goodwill store ever! I am from San Francisco and I never find anything even remotely desirable at SF locations. The Seattle location on the other hand is AMAZING! Amazing does not = 100% organized and 100% spotless. It does mean, however, that treasures are just waiting to be found. If you go with a discerning eye you can find some really fantastic stuff. OR, you can probably buy that bowling trophy that you never won as a kid and you are still resentful about.
If you are really, REALLY cheap you can make a point to go Thursday-Sunday to look for 50% off deals.
Good god this is a giant goodwill.
Prices are way better than the Salvo, and there is so much space, maybe a couple of acres?
Service is pretty lame, but I can overlook that given the mission.
My favorite Goodwill. I always come out with a few pairs of pants, shoes, and polaroid cameras. The back section with electronics, books, and home furnishings will amaze. Nice clothing selection, though people keep putting items back in the wrong size section(How many times I saw something quite in my size section only for it to be a size 2). You will also most likely have to wait a bit to get into the dressing rooms. But great store, make sure you give this Goodwill a try.
Oh my god the book section always sucks me in for hours and I come out with great classic relics from the past! The knick-knack selection is amazing and if you can sort through the wierd random grannie statues you can find some great stuff. anything you could ever want is here! I live a few blocks aways and find myself there anytime I need a household item or just feel the urge to shop but don't want to spent butt loads of money. I have a hard time finding clothes here and when I do a lot of times they will be marked up way way too high for when they are. This place is overwhelming in a good way but if your not up to sorting through racks and racks of unfashionable garb to find a treasure for your wardrobe then you may find it a bit intense. the lines are long everywhere but really if you go there often and see the hoards of people that are shopping you come to expect that sometimes you'll have to wait a little while to check out. it's just part of the experience.
I've had bad luck with electronics there so I don't even buy them anymore because there is a no return policy on those. Which can be pretty annoying when you pay $15 for a stereo that you've tested it in store, then bring it home and it craps out on you two days later. I'm a VHS junkie and find myself always leaving with 2-6 tapes every visit because they're only 2 for .99 cents.
And the best thing is when you decide to go shopping there you can bring all of your old goods there that you no longer use and donate them before you shop for more awesome crap! This place rocks!
This place has everything. Seriously. I came for some funky additions to my halloween costume, and I left with a whisk, a mug and lingerie. And all of that was about $4.50. Spectacular. I am definitely not going anywhere like bed bath and beyond again b/c you can find it here instead and it'll be much cooler anyway. Word of caution: don't come here expecting to get in and out. It's going to take you forever.
Huuuuuuge! Jeez. I love thrift stores and have never been to one this big. My jaw dropped when I went into this place. It is actually really organized, clean and the staff was friendly, raising the bar for thrift stores everywhere (not that the bar was that high to start with). It brought out the artist in me. I almost want to buy their whole wall of .49 mugs and stack them into the shape of a huge mug. Yes, are you with me!? They have a wall of mugs!!! Gotta love it. Need a mug? Don't go anywhere else!
One man's trash...
I remember my parents taking us to the main store as kids and us absolutely loving it. That was back when they had the museum that had the Miss Bardahl hydroplane in it among other neat treasures. Yes, being poor in the 60s was actually fun for me, and having a bicycle painted mint green all over including the rims was just fine. You see, my dad was born with Cerebral Palsy. You sure couldn't tell it by hearing him play the organ at church though. He was an amazing man and lived to be 80. Anyway, being the 1960s, no one wanted CP victims in their employ and my mom was an unskilled country gal so, we were on the relatively poor side. Well, it was places like Goodwill that kept us 6 kids in clothing and even toys back then. Even by the early 1970s when my allocated clothing started including plaid, we were still grateful that places like that existed. By then however, I was able to coach my mom on the physical dangers of wearing plaid to school. It wasn't until I grew up that I knew of Goodwill's mission to educate people and put them to work and that all of the money my parents spent went to that cause. To me, it gave the "One man's trash is another man's treasure" meme a whole new and wonderful meaning. Now, it's the present and I still shop there for treasures, mainly at the Ballard store. Let me tell you, I have found some amazing items but now, I have the full knowledge that places like Goodwill and Value Village (proceeds help the mentally disabled) among others, are making a real difference in the lives of millions. So, if you want to do a small part to help others, humble yourself (if you need to) shop or donate items to Goodwill, or stores like it. You'll feel good about it and you'll be amazed on occasion at the great finds. And for all you people that donated in the 60s and early 70s when I was growing up, Thank you so much! For those who donated plaid trousers, thanks, and what were you thinking?
This is the gold standard for all mega-thrift stores in the Seattle area. Eat before you go, bring someone with a car, and make sure you check out the giant housewares area. I go there for dirt-cheap picture frames and candles. Don't neglect the miscellaneous fabric and bedding section. I got a beautiful handmade quilt there for $10 recently ( I can't believe someone got rid of it!!!). There is also an annex that sells stuff by the pound. Most of it is crap that couldn't sell in the main store, but there are still some good finds, especially if you're looking for craft fodder, and it is dirrrrt cheap.
this is the thrift shop mothership.
i read other people's reviews before going and was psyched about the huge home furnishings section and didn't seem to see it right away, but that's because its the size of a second building, just in back, and i didn't think a Goodwill store could be that large. lots of variety, lots of dishes, frames, candleholders. and well organized, which is great because i hate having to dig through piles of junk to find my treasures.
the outside seems a little shady with lots of wandering citizens...inside however its a great mix of people all united in their search for a discarded jem...fabulous way to spend a few hours.
This is THE PLACE in Seattle to find everything you need to make your life complete. OK, I'll admit it. I'm a second hand junk nut from way back. I was weened on the teet of thrift and have loved it's old milk all of my life. A couple of things for those of you wanting to go on busy days:
(By the way: Always grab a basket upon entering this hallowed ground.)
1) Head straight to the back and work your way forward. Go against the flow and you'll find the deals.
2) People are watching you. They want to know why you're so interested in that section! Bait and Switch, folks! Feign interest in one area and make a B-line for the real goods when the vultures swoop!
3) If you think you might just maybe have an inkling of interest in whatever your holding - put it in your basket! Said vultures will tear it to shreds when you set it aside to peruse other items. When you look for it again because you forgot that your brother had mentioned wanting one of those things 2 years ago - it's gone baby gone.
4) Know what you want and go find it. Have a game plan. Teamwork is key. If you have a crew, work it like a SWAT team. have hand signals and secret whistles. Watch out for the human walls! Those marauding families who stand shoulder to shoulder and run at you!
5) Allegra. Benadryl. Whatever it takes to go the distance.
6) Good luck and go on a Monday morning when everyone has dumped on Sunday night and people are at their jobs on Monday.
Have fun.
An excellent source of used books.
it's huge so clear your afternoon if you plan on getting the full goodwill experience. the first warehouse is almost entirely a clothing department, and most of it is women's wear. i go here often and i always end up with many many wearable treasures. you have to know where to look and you have to be patient and willing to look through a lot of crap. but there is really something for everyone, no matter what your style or taste. i always see designer labels as well as funky vintage stuff, and everything in between. occasionally they have some great shoes, but i have found this to be a rare occasion. i love getting fabric here as they have a great little textiles dept.
the second warehouse is full of mostly junk: electronics, books, movies, furniture, toys, and various household items in various conditions. once again you have to dig through a lot of crap, but they do a surprisingly good job of sorting everything out considering the sheer volume of junk that accumulates on the shelves. i personally love getting an armful of cheap vhs tapes and i usually end up with a couple mis-matched wine glasses for 99 cents apiece. seriously you can find just about anything here and it's all on the cheap. if i could give it one more star i would.
this is a great goodwill! huge store, probably the biggest goodwill i've ever been in. tons of books and dvds. a joystick graveyard (entire aisle of cast-off joysticks!). a wall of mugs. sports equipment! very organized... their women's jeans selection is EXCELLENT! their furniture selection and shoe collections are a bit lacking, however...
This is the Goodwill mother ship in Seattle... and it's huge, and it's not for the faint of heart. The best thing about this thrift store is the loving care that's taken with the displays and the racks and racks and racks of merchandise. The front room is all clothes, shoes, household "softline" items, and it very nicely kept - surprising, considering how incredibly busy the store is! Every single day, no matter the time of day, it's wildly busy! The back room (furniture, home furnishings, books, electronics, etc.) is a little more tedious to navigate. It's always more disheveled, and is a lot tougher for the weak to deal with. If you're sufficiently fed and hydrated, then venture into the back and you can score some spectacular deals. Lots of things back there are brand freakin' new! Be ready to wait in line for quite a while, the cashiers are in no particular hurry to get you out of the store.
