Goodwill

very nice and inexpensive Goodwill. located in downtown, and we walked there from the Hampton down the way. great selection of goods. smaller location, but like what another reviewer said, they sure do pack a lot into this store!

Customer service is good. Selection is great for a small building. Always a good find or two here.
Drug addicts target this store to shop lift so they are always milling around. They need Better security here its not safe at night.

Holds a lot for a smaller store. Some things like puzzles and dolls are not always priced. Unmarked dolls are like $ 1.29 and unmarked puzzles are .99. So, that makes those toys the best-​priced in town.

Meh. Not my favorite Goodwill store and not one that I’d go out of my way for, but if you happen to be in Everett, it could be worth a quick stop.
Most Seattle Goodwills are fairly nice, clean, and well maintained, but this one just kind of depresses me. It’s smelly in there, and while it’s tidy enough, the store just feels kind of tired and dirty. It’s quite small and doesn’t have a very large selection, and all of the jewelry (even cheap costume junk) is in locked glass cases, so it doesn’t feel very customer-​friendly.
However, they have the colored tag 50% discounts and you can score some bargains if you’re thorough (I got a cashmere sweater for $ 4). The staff are friendly and polite, so no complaints there. If I only had time for one thrift store stop in Everett, though, I’d pick the SW Everett Mall Way location over this downtown one.

Extremely disappointed. The staff was not pleasant. Their bathroom was disgusting, with blood on the ceiling. I had to change my baby on the bathroom floor because they don’t provide changing tables. They lock their restrooms, which given the area I’m not surprised. Someone kept knocking on the door. When I finally finished washing my hands with freezing water, a man was standing outside the door. I told him he needed to notify someone he was «going in». He crudely replied they already knew because I was taking too long in the bathroom. Needless to say I love Goodwill, but this one is awful.

I’ve been in a lot of goodwills. I used to live near the shoreline location which is HUGE and AWESOME so when I moved near this one, I was underwhelmed. It is a pretty tiny location in comparison, so the selection is not that great. However it makes up for that by being remarkably well organized… for a goodwill. I like that goodwill has a calender of when their specials are and that I can take my used goods here instead of braving the wilds of craigslist or tossing out perfectly usable items. I have found some good things here.

I visited the Hoyt Avenue location and thought it would be good based on Unilocal reviews. I found nice jeans ($ 5.99 and $ 7.99 each) which is not that bad but it was poorly lit. I found two used books which were a plus.
We did not know which cash register was open. No sign. No «register closed.» Nice cashiers though.
You have to ask a cashier to unlock the restroom for you which is a HUGE minus for me. Do we look like we are thieves!!! I don’t think so. It is a pet peeve of mine when people treat their adult customers as though we are four years old and/​or when people presume our guilt instead of presume our innocence.
I prefer the Everett Mall Way location much better.
The aisles at the Everett Mall Way location may be smaller but it is well lighted and I do not have to ask someone to use the restroom. I am not four years old NOR am I a thief.
For this location on Hoyt I am no snob but I will not be returning. I love to shop for most of my clothes at thrift stores but not at this one. Sorry but I will not be returning to this location.

I have been looking for a nap sack like the one Jim on «The Office» has or like the one used in the movie «The Words». You know slightly worn leather not super big like a computer back and not small like a purse. I knew the only place I would be able to get a bag like this would be a thrift store or some type of secondhand store. After a week of searching I walked in this Goodwill. Upon entering this store I was amazed at the cleanliness of the store compared to other thrift stores. The store is very spacious and all departments are clearly marked for easily finding things in the store. The staff was very cheerful and helpful I ended up finding the bag I wanted I will go back again.

All of this should be prefaced with «for a thrift store:»
They are clean, well organized, have good specials and a pretty great selection.
I believe it’s partly due to it’s location in downtown, but there can be some real characters at this one. It takes all kinds.
I’m here monthly probably and often find some really great stuff!

I’ve never been in to this location but I utilized it for a drop-​off over the weekend. I called to ask where their drop-​off location was, as it was not clearly marked. They friendly man on the other line said he would meet me out back (hubba, hubba) and gladly took the 6 – 8 bags of fat clothes I was dropping off. I’m not a hater I’m just saying I don’t fit in them any longer so don’t get all angry fellow big body hotties or big booty cuties ;)
They don’t take large donations (furniture) or don’t often since it’s on the small size so call ahead as you may need to go to a different location.

More like a 2.5 star. But they’re GW so I will round up!
We were here during the holiday weekend. It’s located in downtown Everett. The store is located on a corner and has its own parking lot consisting of less than 10 spots. The lot next door is a pay lot so we drove for a bit and parked down the hill.
The store is small and I wouldn’t bother with their housewares section (my fave). We found a couple London Fog trench coats and pants for a couple bucks (red tags were 1.29 with 40% off on top). The gal working at the register was really friendly.
I don’t know if we’d head back here specifically for this store, but if we were already in the area we’d stop in.

This little thrift store looks small from the outside, but is packed with stuff on the inside.
There is a parking lot to the side of the building with a few space, but there is easy street parking as well.
The inside is nice and clean, with lots of clothes in each section. There were plenty of workers around to help if you had questions, and everyone was very nice.
They have a good kitchen wares section, with really good prices on stuff. Just about everywhere I turned there was more that I wanted to get for my new apartment.
I’ve been back multiple times, and have been had great finds each time I went.

I drove down to the Goodwill, to search for some pants. My first impression was that there was no way to get a parking space in the parking lot. The store is right in downtown Everett, and the lot is small. I found out later that Wednesday is senior discount day, and that was why it was so busy. I parked up Hoyt St. a bit, in front of the title company, and walked back, after circling the block once.
When I walked in, I was surprised at how big the inside of the store was. For some reason it looked smaller on the outside. It was also brightly lit, and fairly clean. Even more importantly, it was packed with stuff.
The prices were pretty normal thrift store range, and they carried a wide range of goods. I managed to find some pants, some kitchen goods, and more for less than $ 10.
The dressing rooms are locked, so you need a staff member to let you in, but they were very nice.
In all, it was a fun thrifting trip, and I will definitely be going back.
