Goodwill

re: rummaging
This particular location NEEDS more real estate. it’s always packed and parking is always a problem due to the other businesses in the shopping center. I usually walk out of here with something everytime I go whether it’s for resale or a personal purchase.
If you go during peak hours, even dropping stuff off for donations can be a hassle, since there’s long lines. If you can manage to get here early or late or just during non-​peak hours, it’s always fun going through the store and reminiscing on some of the old vintage items one may have grown up with.
Careful, buying used/​new/​lightly used stuff can be addictive and you may question if you want to pay retail every again for most things.

This Goodwill never fails to surprise me with great buys and one of a kind merchandise. I frequent this Goodwill location and probably always will.

I really like this location. I am always finding really great bargains on clean or new items. The clothes are the best I have found out of shopping at Goodwill Bellevue and Renton. They are actually stylish and nice. I purchased a really nice pair of American Eagle jeans for 9 bucks recently. I know it is luck of the draw but I consistently find good stuff here.
Another benefit of shopping at the Lynnwood location is that they have a deal with Target. They get brand new stuff from Target everyday. I have seen really nice brand new curtains for around $ 6 dollars and I have personally bought several new shirts and also baby crib sheets for less than 5 bucks a piece.

I go to this location at least once a month. Their prices are always great on most things. The store is always organized and theres always hard workimg employees out on the floor. I take one star away because everytime I go to this store, it seems like I have to dogde all the employees trying to cram more clothes out to the rack. I feel like im in their way in every isle. also, the racks are soo crammed full of clothes that you cant even browse what they have to offer.
But overall, nice store!

This Goodwill is a little out of the way, but on the plus side, there are two other thrift stores located across the parking lot: Finding Treasures and Bella’s Voice. So it’s a three-​for-​one stop if you make it up here!
I was surprised at how big this store was inside. It has a good selection of clothes and shoes, especially women’s, and a large kitchen/​housewares department, although the furniture area is kind of small and ratty-​looking. This location feels older and somewhat run-​down, but it’s pretty clean and well-​organized overall.
Like all Seattle Goodwills, there are holiday sales and colored tag discounts, and prices are reasonable. I didn’t see much of the Target clearance-​salvage inventory here on my last visit, like some other stores — Shoreline is probably better for that if you’re up north.
If you stop in, don’t forget to swing by Finding Treasures and Bella’s Voice while you’re there!

Great bargain hunting, easy donating and mostly reasonable prices.
I have some of the best luck at this location finding all kinds of things.
I’d say that the ‘upper end’ stuff isn’t a great deal nor is it usually well stocked but the rest of the store has some great stuff otherwise.
Kids clothes, shoes, housewares, women’s clothing and knick knacks (I’ve gotten some gorgeous stuff at the jewelry counter) — Thursday– Sunday ½ price tickets with 1.29 for anything left with that same color ticket on Mondays.

With a little searching there are some great finds that roll through each week.

I’m a big second hand store junkie. I’m just classy like that.
I draw the line somewhere but for many items I love a good deal and like reusing something that had a previous life.
This Goodwill is ok. It’s not the cleanest nor the most organized Goodwill but it’s decent. The donation people always have a big smile on their face.
This was the place to be on a Saturday night! Every aisle was crowded with all types of people. Good people watching here.
Typically I think Goodwill’s prices are a bit high for used items but sometimes you can find good stuff at a decent price. There was a roasting pan that looked good but for $ 24 at Goodwill? No thanks. Even though it is $ 40 – 50 new that seems like a lot for a used kitchen item.
Also $ 5 for a SBUX plastic tumbler that’s $ 10 new. Just seems a bit inflated. I know the money goes to a good cause though.
Long story short– this is an a-​okay Goodwill. I prefer the one on 15^th in Shoreline or on 8^th in Ballard but this one does the job.

Thrift shops are either awesome or total dumps. This one is awesome. I have gotten so many great deals at this location. I recently found a brand new dustbuster that had never been used and in the box for under $ 20! AWESOME. I also got my son an almost new leapster explorer that he loves. I recently found a leappad 2 tablet, brand new shape for $ 25! Those things still retail for almost $ 100. He’s going to be very happy when it comes Christmas time. Best part, he won’t even know or care that it was used.
I haven’t had too much luck with clothes here but you can find some good ones if you search pretty deep. They get Target stuff that doesn’t see donated to them which is pretty awesome seeing as I love Target.
Books are a steal, household stuff is awesome too. I have found a lot of vintage owls to add to my collection.
Staff is always friendly and I love the fact that Goodwill helps people get back on their feet again.

This good will has a good selection of clothing, tools, misc. The store is well organized and fairly clean. The only reason this Goodwill is getting a 4 star is because the cashiers are very slow and take there time, even when there is a long line. I think I stood in line for 30 mins for one item.

I work right near this Goodwill so I frequently go over and shop when I need to walk around and get away from the office. I love to buy books and I almost always find a few books to buy there, they have a good selection of books and they are organized alright.
The plus sized clothing for women is pretty limited, but they can’t help who donates items so it isn’t under their control. However the regular women’s section is always very full of clothes.
I found brand new Converse there once! The best find ever. They were $ 12, but for brand new that was totally acceptable. Otherwise I find their prices to be fairly good. Some things are overpriced, but most of the items are priced fairly. They charge too much for hardback books in my opinion.
They usually have a decent selection of cd’s and dvd’s there to browse through.
Purr…

Good selection of clothes for regular sizes. So-​so selection for women’s plus sizes. Rather good for housewares, home décor, and books. The nicest thing is that they’re open on Sundays from 10 to 8 PM! It’s somewhere to shop when the other thrift stores close at 5…

This is one of the nicer Goodwill’s around. I don’t find many great deals on their used items, but I do love to take advantage of their 50% off colored tags. I end up spending way more money than I intend to but you can find some nice name brand things. The way things are separated into sections can cause some confusion, I would love to see the athletic shirts put next to the athletic pants and it would be great if this aisle was not overtaken by the plus size people whose section is across the aisle. This is a good place to stock up on used books. Staff are friendly. There is a changing room. There’s also a drop off for donating. I prefer this store to the other second hand stores in the immediate area.

This is by far one of my favorite thrift stores I shop at in Hawai’i, Florida, and Washington. The prices are not so high that they would dare ask you to pay for an item that is used that they received for free.
I usually buy pants, skirts, and blouses for work. I also look at the bags and books. Sometimes I will look for jeans too. Their prices make it worth my while :)
It is usually packed and understandably so. Their prices are not on the high side. They are in the realistic side!
They also have public restrooms in the back of the store and you do not have to ask «permission» to use the restroom. There is also a water fountain in the back of the store between the two restrooms.
They have an ample amount of shopping carts. The Salvation Army in downtown Seattle sucks in that department! Shortage of carts is a huge minus but not at this Goodwill. They make you WANT to shop :)
Cashiers are very good too. I will be back again :)

I use Goodwill for items that family and friends don’t want but that I no longer need. You should note that Goodwill will not take certain items like exercise equipment. The only way Goodwill could be a better resource would be if the state would help fund them to remove items that they can’t sell but still have value like old oil, batteries, and electronic equipment with heavy metals involved.
Purchasing stuff is pretty straight forward and the place always seems to have people shopping.

Thank goodness for thrift stores. I am always looking to shed any excess clutter around my house, and even after all this time you still have to beat it into my head that things like that should go to Goodwill – they give people jobs, and the prices help people shop when they’re trying to make ends meet.
There’s also a Value Village over on 99, and it’s a bit bigger and busier. As of today, they were so overwhelmed with post-​Christmas donations at VV that I had to bring some old fireplace tools to Goodwill. GW doesn’t have as visible a location, but their staff is nice and the parking lot’s easy to get in and out of. Feels good to know things are moving on down the line, getting some use, putting a fair price worth of cash into employing people.

I donate all of my daughters clothes and toys that she has out grown. I enjoy passing it on to someone who needs it. The staff is nice here and they always smile and seem really happy to see you. I like the quickness of the donation line. It runs really smooth and efficent. I will continue to donate here.

This review is just for the drop-​off service.
5 stars to an organization that will happily take your old crap!
I love them! I try to have a bag in my car at all times to give them! They are polite, efficient – wow. And not from personal experience but from observation, they take old monitors and computer shtuff.
Really, time to clean stuff out.

This is probably my favorite Goodwill. I know where everything is, it’s laid out in an organized manner, it’s clean, and it’s good sized.
The clothing selection here is better than most other Goodwill locations that I have visited. They have racks and racks of clothing and I almost always find something to buy.
They have tons of holiday stuff, whatever the season may be. So if you need to stock up on ceramic snowmen statues in July, you can certainly do that here!
They have a good selection of books and movies, as well as dishware.
The employees have always been friendly, which can often be a rare find at thrift stores. Everyone seems to be in generally good spirits at this place, which I appreciate. Some of the nicest employees are found at the donation dropoff outside. Once I dropped my camera case on the ground while getting out of my car to donate some items. I realized it and turned the car around and they had it waiting for me when I returned. How awesome is that?

Soooooo stinky. We must have visited when they received a shipment of exceptionally stinky/​BO/​smokey clothes because that’s all we found in the men’s shirt section.
This is a small Goodwill and it’s kind of hard to find (but that’s my problem). The parking decent.
I’ve been here several times but haven’t bought anything and I’m not hard to please. With the last stinky visit, I think I’ll head to other Goodwills. Or at least wait until this one airs out a bit. ;)
Edit: Sorry, I posted this review in late July but realized there was already a listing for this, so I moved my review.
