Ace Hardware

SKG Have had the habit of going to the big stores so have to keep reminding myself to come to Burien Ace. I am a MacGyver and can fix most anything without a spec sheet. This may be a small store but their nuts/​bolts/​fastener aisle is the best. Washers to pins to corks etc. And my last Christmas Tree was a 7′ Noble Fir for $ 29.95 and lasted until early January without dryness. Get the Rewards card and keep going back.

I totally forgot about this hardware store in burien since it is kinda tucked away a bit in the shopping plaza on 4^th ave SW. Anyway, I saw the little flowers they displayed for $ 0.99 each, and I know I had to buy 2 of them. The store is slightly smaller than most ace hardware stores, but they are able to have most of the stuff that you will need for your home.
There is a young female sales associate, and she isn’t a very energetic one either. I asked her where I could find the watering pots, and she looked at me and said, «Hmmmm… If we do have some, you might be able to find them on aisle 9…» I mean, «Come on! „If“ we do have watering pots ??? This is a home improvement store, so I would expect to see some watering pots. And you sound like you are unsure… That isn’t a very good sign.»
By the way, the watering pots weren’t even in aisle 9. They are in aisle 8 at the very top shelf. If you are a short person like me, please have someone else grabbing the pots for you. Anyway, that sales associate looked and sounded super spacey as we tried talking to her about the flowers’ prices and watering pots.
In the end, I won’t let this little odd encounter affecting my future trips to ace hardware store because I don’t want to drive all the way to tukwila, west seattle, or Des Moines for some stuff that I can easily find in burien.

Great service. Knowledgeable staff

This is my go to hardware store!
They have everything I need.
Staff is super helpful! Always willing to help me find things and take stuff out to my car. Actually know things when I ask questions! And unlike other places the staff is always around ready to help!
Love the prices.
They also have a reward card.

Love this place. They don’t have eveything, but they often have what I need. Better yet, the people who work here are very helpful.

This is a small store but seemed organized. It was easy for me to find the section and my questions were answered in detail. Overall good experience.

Hooray! I was absolutely stoked to see that burien would finally have a nearby hardware store that I could easily bus, bicycle, or walk to.
Time and time again the employees are very helpful and have little difficulty showing you where stuff is in a friendly manner. Whenever I have quirky MacGyver projects and ace hardware lacks certain bits I need, employees are right on the spot as to devise work arounds, even going as far as to rip products out of their packaging to ensure compatibility.
My only problem with this store is that theres too many cases in which they don’t have a particular set of items im looking for, specialty items if you will, and other times just lack of selection. I needed a type of bearing, and out of the entire store, there was one box with a select few types of bearings. Another instance, my dad needed a set of «sidewalk» bolts as he called them, and there wasn’t enough selection.
All in all, its a nice hardware store for the basics, but for the advanced stuff, you’ll have to go to their competitors places.

Welcome to Burien, I was thrilled when Ace moved in. I’m so tired of the big box stores with the lack of knowledge they don’t have. You guy’s have so far had every item I have needed in a pinch for all my home maintains projects. Keep up the good work and all the great «Stuff».
