Goodwill Industries

I thought this was Goodwill, not Macys?
Holy cow this is the most expensive location I’ve ever been to — even over the GW in Bellevue! I found a book that I bought in Bellevue for $ 0.99 that they wanted $ 2.99 for! No way! Mugs that I found very cute — $ 4.99. I can buy it new and un-​chipped for that price! Everything is severely overpriced.
Lots of product, very old store, non-​existent staff.
Will 100% make the drive back to the other locations over this one.

I won’t return here it’s just too poorly operated. Jeans are marked large, medium and small instead of the standard sizes used for jeans so finding your size is time consuming because you have to remove the jeans from the hanger and search inside for the size.
Items in the cooking accessories isle date back to the sixties and there are broken unusable items scattered everywhere.
And finally the prices are about $ 2 to $ 3 dollars higher on each item than they should be.

as a former employee and shopper of this particular location, all i have to say is take your business elsewhere. they want 9.99 for a used pair of sweat pants, used things that cost more than new good items sold at walmart! shirts with stains and tears for 7.99 !! you want to know why everything here is ridiculously expensive? this place is a joke they want all their employees to sell items at high price and work at ridiculously fast paces on a minimum wage salary. or you get harassed and threatened termination, the manager is disrespectful and unprofessional. was a good business about 4 years ago before the place was taken over by egotistical hidden agenda driven nonprofessionals. but besides business ethics being terrible, the business product alone here is crap for the amount they price it. dont bother with this dump, VALUE VILLAGE washes all their clothes and prices cheap for decent items.

If you want to pay retail for second hand furniture and deal with rude employees this is the place to go! If you’re shopping for good deals in thrift, avoid this location and head to the one in Kent or the Renton highlands. Much better variety and not managed by someone who’s «married to an antique dealer who knows their stuff.» What a joke

Seems silly how much they charge for certain items. I stopped going as it made more sense just to buy the stuff new. Also had an employee tell me to get out of the dressing room since I hadn’t asked. She told me while I was undressed and kept telling me to get out, she was jiggling the lock and I emerged still getting back into my clothes. I was with my toddler which is why it was taking longer than usual. Previous times I had asked and they never counted the items so I just went in. It was super awkward and very embarrassing. I figure it’s not worth my time to be berated and to pay 50% of the original cost for used items. I would not recommend this store. Another time I found a print I liked and another employee told me that they couldn’t sell it because it was missing the tag. I asked if they could get a manager to price it because I really wanted it and they said no and that it had to go to inventory. So bizarre!

Went on MLK and didn’t realize it would be a zoo, all donated apparel was 50%. It was still nice, clean and organized. The employees were working hard to keep the lines short.
So glad they changed the donation directions, prevents people from braking on MV Hwy– which was dangerous, now you go around the building and pull onto MV hwy after donating your goods… smarties.

This is ridiculous. You guys know that your merchandise was donated to you, right? It’s free. Instead, you want $ 17 for a sweatshirt?!? I realize you have overhead, but I would go out on a limb and say that it doesn’t require you to charge $ 17 for a fucking sweater.

It may just be a regular sized GW but honestly I felt like this Goodwill was really big. I almost felt a bit overwhelmed that I was going to have to walk around the whole store. I actually got a shopping cart. I never ever get a shopping cart, because I usually just search certain areas and then leave, but I found myself moseying up and down practically every aisle, especially since I had never been there.
There as a large selection is pretty much every area and there are good prices too. There furniture section is well stocked and there is a lot of general variety. I picked up quite a few VHS for $ 0.99 — $ 2. I got some pants too so I can kind of switch up what I wear to work and even some jeans that fit, which sometimes is a problem when you shop at the GW. Since I’m trying to get more into hiking, I found some good quality backpacking gear and pretty much everything was half off or if it wasn’t, it was really cheap.
My cashier was an older lady that was just as charming as the store and she actually smiled as she worked which I thought was really cute. I’ve been back to this GW more than once and it’s still the same good experience.

As far as goodwill’s go this one is good. I could never give a goodwill five stars, but this one has better prices than most. I definitely prefer the small mom-​and-​pop thrift stores. But I managed to get some Christmas decorations for 50% off before Christmas, so I was happy with that.
But they asked me if I wanted to round my total up to the nearest dollar to help with «job-​training». Isn’t that what I’m already doing by shopping here? I know that’s a bunch of BS.

Compared to other Goodwills, this one has a decent selection. Compared to other thrift stores though such as SA or SVDP their prices are WAY high. $ 5 for a used, corded mouse? Seriously?
And if you are looking for any decent electronics, jewelry, clothing, or collectibles — you won’t find them in their stores anymore. They sell all of the good stuff on ebay or on their own auction site.
Still a good place to go if you want some cheapo clothing and go when they are having a sale but unfortunately the days of finding a treasure at Goodwill are behind us.

A very grumpy older lady was ahead of me in the customer check out line, and was being very rude to the cashier, The cashier’s name is Reanne, I believe. Reanne, was polite, and apoligizing to the customer who was finding lots of things wrong with nothing of consequence. The customer, who was Phillipino realizing that the cashier was Phillipino, starting saying apparently very crude things to Reanne in Phillipino language. Reanne responded in Phillipino, and though I don’t know that language, she was still trying her best to diffuse the situtation.
As an innocent by-​stander in line, I made mention to Reanne that I thought she was providing exceptional customer service in spite of the circumstances. The customer left, and I offered to speak to the manager to let her manager know that she did a great job handling a very tough customer.
Reanne began to cry. It was her first week on the job. I felt sorry for her, but knew she would be fine, because she was so kind, and sincere in spite of the rude customer.
This occurred two days before Christmas. This Goodwill store, with employees like Reanne, is proof that there are good people out there, even amongst the crabby ones.
Hang in there Reanne. And good job, Goodwill, for finding an exceptional employee!

Eric H hit the nail on the head with this one. This Goodwill is pretty darn great as far as Goodwills go. Upscale inventory, big, and clean.

The outside may look dingy, but it’s what is in the inside that matters.
You can find some good hidden treasures here. I was able to find some name brand clothing like, Old Navy, Lucky Brand Jeans, The Loft, and other decent items.
The price is reasonable. You just have to dig a lot to find the good stuff. Also the clothes are in good condition too. Not too faded or run down.
I like their accessory section of the store. You can find decorations for cheap and they have a good selection of dishes and matching sets too!
Their staff is friendly too!
