Misty DeChant

I love this goodwill! I always find something special at this store. I typically find good pet supplies and fun dishes. Store is clean, staff is exceptionally friendly. I always score on me brands like Coach and Nike here. My pet is always welcomed here! And I will always visit pet friendly businesses 100 times more than a non pet friendly business! ❤️🐶❤️

Kirstie Morris

The store is tiny but the selection is always very high quality. Expect higher prices to go along with the higher end items. The staff is friendly, store is clean. I love this location!

Kendall Craig

Always a pleasure shopping here. The variety isn't as good as it use to be, and the prices seem outrageous sometimes but I still like to walk through and see if there's anything I can't live without.

Richie Magpayo

Small Goodwill store - I believe is the smallest around town which would be understandably considering the prime location. A bright small store to pop in and quick browse a limited inventory of new and previously loved donated items. Currently stocked with Halloween costumes for adults, pets and decor for the home. Fitting rooms available. I noted there weren't a lot of "designer/branded" clothes as some reviews have noted. Maybe I missed it?

Brad Wright

This is definitely one of the best stocked, well-maintained stores that I’ve ever been in. Really good selection of merchandise. It is laid out really well and the staff is super friendly! As always prices are amazing!

Madison Aubrey

The prices are WACK. Used items shouldn’t be so expensive. That being said, the floor staff is kind and efficient, and the quality of items is decent.

Chris Keyton

Very nice store with good quality items. Was more expensive than most Goodwills.

Jim Arnold

Small goodwill store so no big furniture. Helpful staff. Good selection of clothing and housewares. Many high end donations. Prices on the higher side but still many bargains to be had.

Cyn Brown

Clean and nice with excellent prices. It was more like a boutique than a thrift shop! Scored a leather Anne Klein for a very reasonable price, so really happy! Plus, saw a really nice nightstand - also for a super reasonable price - set that someone had purchased and the shop was kindly holding.

Aiyshwariya PK

The curated collection as well as the pricing is good here.

Not a large Goodwill but everything is very neat and clean. A little smaller than the U-district one. Nice cashiers with the crowd consisting of elderly folks and older professionals.

Emily Butterfield

Crazy overpriced. Most clothing items were priced well over $10

Makayla Carter

Definitely smallest location I've done across but the clothes selection was of good quality, while other sections such as electronics, etc. didnt have much to offer as far as item selection but overall decent for what there was. I'm curious if this is usually the case as far as the electronic selection they usually have to offer? I've just recently went there for the 1st time but have been staying in the area so I will probably check it out again in the near future.

Will Cappon

Decent selection. Not the cheapest for a Goodwill's stanards.

Jamethon Nobel

Small, well organized, good quality, a little pricey.

A Very Fun Store to Browse With Quality Items Pros: Organization: The staff here makes good use of the relatively small space. They have a lot of inventory but it doesn't feel messy or unorganized. Quality (menswear only): Almost immediately I was able to find some Italian made sport coats and some very well made cords and wool/cashmere blend dress pants. Even the shoes were of better quality (i.e. both maintained and of better construction) and they had more in larger sizes (around 11) than you might usually see. Staff: They were very busy at the time of day that I went but lines moved quickly and I received great assistance while checking out. Cons: Layout: Despite being able to arrange a berth of items quite well, the aisles, at least in the men's section, were quite inconvenient to navigate when you had to pass someone in said aisle. This was made all the more apparent as several patrons used rolling cases. From what I could see there were only two dressing rooms. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy enough that I had to wait at least five minutes for a room that was already occupied. I can't imagine that this is sufficient for peak, weekday periods. The bathroom is both solo and only accessible by a key that staff members have. Understandable, sure, but neither customer friendly nor efficient when it's busy. It's location also comes off as a bit claustrophobic but it's probably the nicest public restroom I've seen so that's a plus.

Marty Mathern

I found name brand clothing here at a good discount. It's a small store but found things here that other locations would have.

Karen Arnold

I had bought a birthday present for my son. It was too heavy for me to carry home. The Cashier was nice and held onto it until my son could come and pick it up after work , that would be 5-6 hrs later. And since it was a birthday present they helped me so he wouldn't know the price

Juliette Williams

I like this location but everything there is "good pickins'" so if you like to struggle to discover the "find" this is not the location for you!! The staff there is always very helpful and go out of their way to ensure your treasures make it home safe by wrapping purchases adequately. Good job!

Jon C

Just came from there. I must admit, they have a higher quality selection than I'm used to. The neighborhood is upscale with Google and Amazon preppies and people who love taking their dog everywhere...so... that's why. The staff was really friendly and outgoing. They seemed to really enjoy doing what they do. I got a scotch glass decanter, jewelry box, a japanese painted min urn vessel jar, seeds for planting in pots, and a giant mug. less than 30 bucks. Nice .

Mary C

Small, but good selection of stuff. Tends to be VERY overpriced, even for a Goodwill. Was still able to snag some great deals for a few brands they haven't seem to caught onto for markups (I won't say which brands so they don't wise up). A lot of stuff I'm baffled as to why it's marked up so much. Most dresses I saw were $20-50. A little ridiculous if you ask me.

Griffin

This Goodwill is really well organized, clean, and smells great. A rarity among thrift stores! Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Ashley Gould

This is a small store, but the offerings are usually pretty nice in terms of quality and care. The staff are friendly, and particularly nice women's clothing items are on a special display. As others have pointed out, this Goodwill is small but usually a good selection. Like any thrift store, it's hit-or-miss on a given day, but the offerings seem to rotate frequently, and the dressing rooms are large, clean, and well-lit. There is a donations drop off around back.

Xio Long Bao

Clean facility, well organized, quality items for sale. Prices have increased with popularity, but still my favorite Goodwill. Friendly and helpful staff. Also able to donate items items here, but not large furniture items like couches.

Lawrence Nelson

I all ways find great products there like Pioneer Speakers to fairly new (sharp) kitchen knives. This is my go to store on a budget.🤭😁😐😀😀🤫 …

Andy Lee

Although this is a small Goodwill, it seems much more "curated" than the average store. I've been here about 6 times now and it's always been clean with new stuff out that's in surprisingly good shape. I've found a number of deals here in both appliances and clothes that are far better than the ones I've found at the Dearborn store. I almost hesitate to write this review since the store feels somewhat "undiscovered". Also, several times I've witnessed the store clerks here be very helpful to people, and one going so far as to offer a small bit of credit to a homeless guy who was having a rough day and just needed a t-shirt or two. All in all, great store!

Laura R.

On Monday, they have $1.79 deal on a specific color, so that is the day to go. Everything is that price... clothes, electronics, housewares. I purchased a lot of nice stuff, some things that still even had the tag on them. Nice staff, too.

Michael Td Roberts

I am a huge fan of the Goodwill stores throughout the Seattle area. It doesn't matter what Goodwill location you go to, you'll always find hidden treasures throughout the store. You can everything from: furniture, bathroom decor, kitchen decor, bedroom decor, outdoor decor, tools, power tools, electronics, kitchen electronics, men & women's clothing & shoes, children and baby clothing & shoes, accessories for men and women, books, board games, kitchen wear and much much more. At the same time there's a lot of used goods but if you didn't know there's a lot of new or newer items to choose from. When you get some time check out your local Goodwill store.

Filer WH Smith

Today the sale was all red tags sell for $1.97. I got a bunch of great jewelry that was inexpensive but normally would sell 4 much more. These are early Christmas gifts. There were all kinds of deals for the day.

Hanna

This Goodwill, as well as the overs around Seattle, is great. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and organized, considering they sell so many different things. It's smaller than others locations but it still has a wide selection of products.

Zack Horvath

There is a lot of stuff here from what I assume are ex-amazon employees, and thusly, most of it is very nice. I picked up several pairs of designer jeans with the labels still attached to them and various kitchen knick knacks which had clearly hardly been used. The storefront is a little small and it felt like I was clomping all over people trying to get around.

Linda Hurst

The store is small compared to other Goodwills. I think they have quite a bit of home decor. On Mondays they have a color code and changes a different color every Monday. They sell whatever color for that day only for $1.79

Mo “MrMo” Kashmiri

Helpful staff, clean and good quality of items, too bad it's not a larger space. Felt a little like a small antique-y shop. 🤷‍♂️🍀✌😊 …

Jim Champ

To start, the store is very small. There isn't a ton of inventory, and there weren't any brands or interesting objects that stuck out to me. I would go to the goodwill on Dearborn or the University district before this one. That being said, the employees were friendly and the place was well maintained.

Luan Roberts

Small, busy Goodwill with a nicer-than-average selection of items. No furniture or larger items. Clothing seems a bit higher-priced but they do appear to be better quality overall.

Tiffany Chou

Not a bad Goodwill, but pretty small. I'd recommend the U District or Capitol Hill or ID locations for more variety. Nice staff! Like all the other Goodwills, though, they definitely need more dressing rooms.

Garrett Cline

This store it seems has more higher end things then the Capital Hill and University district stores. And the staff are very friendly! I love my shopping experience at this store.

Caitlin Sellhorn

I love this store and the staff! I always find the best clothes and small household items here.

Arash Taheri-Lotfi

Small store but well organized. Friendly staff. On occasions, you might find a great deal. Best to come Wednesday or Tuesday when there aren't that many customers

Tatiana Ortiz

This goodwill is pretty tiny. They have great selection if you're a young office professional. They have a good selection but you'll have to deal with other shoppers as it is very crammed in the store.

Skyler Muchmore

It's a small store that can get a little packed and the spacing of the racks makes it feel a little crammed but the selection is so excellent I can look past it. Also offers dog parking outside and the staff is pretty nice. It's my favorite Goodwill on planet Earth.

B Hanson

Possibly the fanciest Goodwill I have been in. Lots of higher-end clothes. Maybe not the greatest if you need just the absolute cheapest clothes, but I got some great deals on designer/brand-name items.

Orion Maier

Decent selection of items, but also pretty small and disorganized compared to other Goodwill locations.

David Wallace

Working downtown right around the corner from this store and got off a little early today so I decided to stop in and shop. Four pair of jeans, a pair of sweats and two shirts later only spending $45. What a nice bargain!

Andrew Murphy

Clean and well organized. Good prices as usual for Goodwill and I always approve of their mission as a company. Selection could be a little better, but that's just personal preference I suppose.

nichole manneh

Relatively small in comparison with other goodwills. Customer service was mediocre as it felt the manager's priority was hanging clothing on each rack i was looking at clothing on rather than in her customer having a quality experience in her store. Because the isles are so close together, sharing the rack with her, isle by isle, felt stifling, irritating and distracting. I don't think i would return for this reason.

Dawn Johnson

This is a boutique Goodwill. It is a small space so the clothing and knick knacs are newer and in good condition, yet the shopping is cramped there is not enough roon for two people to comfortably shop. Cute stuff that when ypu buy helps support the community with job training!

Elizabeth Escobars

If you love hidden treasurer, this is the place to go. High end lightly used name brand clothes, purses and shoes. Looks small on the outside but has great items inside.

jackie barry

Poor selection. This used to be my favorite Goodwill but, ever since the pandemic there selection is very poor. But the staff is very nice!

Florian Verhein

Great selection, awesome staff. I enjoy coming in here to browse, and often leave with some good stuff. Best Goodwill branch I've been to.

Creighton Watley

Small, high priced higher quality and fashioned goods. Not bad if that's what you are looking for but it is almost as though the store needs a different name, like Goodwill Select, something along those lines.

A R

Staff and security guy were awesome and really helped us out when we stopped by with donations. Thank you!!!

Richard Guboynytskiy

Small, but a lot of good quality items. Unfortunately, that also means most of brand-name clothing is also high-priced ($15-25).

Beatrix Miguelez

Okay selection, clean but very small and limited. Never a bad stop when thrift shopping, but don't be surprised if you don't find anything you need (or didn't know you needed).

Jordan Henderson

It's a nice Goodwill in a good location but it's pretty small so you don't have a lot of options. However, they tend to have some pretty good clothing options in good shape.

Michael Lovelady

The staff here is usually very friendly. It's a small space but is packed with a nicely edited selection of items to peruse. I always stop in and look around when I'm in the neighborhood.

Matthew Moreland

The curated brands section is extensive. The chances of finding something very nice for a great price is possible every day as the turnover of inventory is quick.

AE Shepherd

Clean, not crowded, with a surprising array of actually useful items . . . plus a few curiosities for impulse buyers.

Harold Odom

It is a great little store with tons of a higher/ level of items. May just be the layout, I was happy.

Lucy LaBrasseur

Great clothing, modern and classy items, and the prices are far better than the goodwill we have here in little maple valley. Great jewelry collection, too.

Chantilly Lace

Pricey but great selection!

Beth Werner

This is one of the cleanest, and best merchandized thrift stores I've ever been to. I got one of my favorite pull overs for less than $10.

Kathryn Appenheimer

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Visiting from New York and I love Seattle!

Cory Oneill

Higher end wares as far as goodwill is concerned. I bought the big ice cube trays for bourbon drinks. Only 1.99!

Steven Beverly

Chuck Reisinger

Great deals on clothing, a lot of quality clothes for a low price. They also have a good gadget/electronics section.

Niclas Brundell

Lots of stuff. But lots of not very interesting things if your size small. And not that cheap compared to other thrift stores with better stuff

A Face

Shhhh, don't tell anyone else, but this place seems to get a consistent flow of higher quality donated clothes.

Not the One

(Translation) A very small shop. You can go along the way, but the choice is small and something useful is rarely found. (Original) Очень маленький магазинчик. Можно зайти по пути, но выбор маленький и что-то полезное находится нечасто.
