Goodwill Industries

I go quite often as I live in the area.
Pros: A lot of traffic which means that things move and new stuff comes out often

They have the items organized well with markers etc
Staffed well with many workers
Cons: Overpriced items (a usual problem at Goodwill) $ 9.99 used kids snow suit. Just saw some brand new at Target $ 13.49.

Some of the staff are nice some are really rude… obnoxiously saying «excuse me» while coming behind you with a cart like we all have eyes in the back of our heads or something.

Sorry but this GW had no selection. It’s also kind of weird because they have the electronics in a completely separate room. The electronics are picked over and there are some items when you think to yourself, «why…just why?». I first hit the men’s section and I was almost like «where is the men’s section». The men’s section is not big AT ALL. Then I went to electronics which I already mentioned. I quickly walked through house wears which looked basically like a bunch of junk, not the good kind of junk, on shelves. I found a few DVD’s but overall this whole store was disappointing from a male perspective.
As usual, of course the ladies section was big, so you may be able to find something here, but I probably won’t be back to this store.

I drop off a lot of stuff here and love the staff (kind, helpful, generally sweet and outgoing)! Not the greatest selection of furniture or clothes, but they have really high turnover so you have to check back regularly. It’s where everyone dumps what they can’t sell at their garage sales.
Drive-​thru drop off for the win!

I love stopping by every few weeks to kill time and browse the shelves.
I don’t really look for clothes here, but their selection seems huge and takes up most of the store.
They have a great selection of furniture and books! Those are my favorites here.
I’ve found a few guilty pleasure 90’s CDs for $ 1, pretty sweet. There’s also computer games, frames, kitchenware etc… everything and anything, it’s a thrift store sooo.

okay — lets face it — thrift stores like these sometimes a hit or miss. I give it to them they it’s a big store and in addition — even in some areas of disorganization — the employees do try to keep it clean (as in dirt). Here are some things I notice at the store:
Clothing: Big Variety — Men’s, Womens and kids … this may work for you and they actually have a decent collection. They have dressing rooms here so that can work for you in regards to fitting.
Shoes: a lot of women’s choices — athletic shoes are also here — but more on the size 10 and down. (right by them are also rollerblades — good prices)
Bags — They have luggage’s on one end and purses on the other — not bad — okay conditions. Mostly women’s bags.
Electronics: Printers are a big thing in here — few speakers (small) and a bunch of miscellaneous items including kitchen accessories. Most of the items are parts too but hey — you could find some use in them. TV’s are also in this sections (mostly the 27 inches) enough for a kids room.
BOOKS: okay I love the selections here in books — I tell you… informational books — arts, recipes, leisure — etc … I bought a running book to prep for future events and Im glad I went by this section. Check it out for sure — you might find some good stuff.
Frames — cheap frames — you can even replace the pictures but the frames can be cleaned and put to good use — I saw some other similar frames at right aide and the prices was ridiculous — get em here and wipe them down — put your own print in them and save some good money.
That’s about the stuff that stood out for me — there are other kitchen item sections and office section that really didn’t draw me in.
(Customer Service is not bad — sometimes you will just have to initiate the conversation)
Would I go back again? sure — it wouldn’t hurt.

If you drop things off here it is almost like throwing your things in the trash. I have donated fragile and glass items worth some $$ only to tell the guy «there is glass in this box» or «this is fragile» and he still just throws the stuff in a huge pile, box or dumpster container full of other junk. I also had a large box of legos once, and another time one full set of army men/​tanks and TOLD him but he still just dumped the box of teeny tiny parts into the huge container of toys and other random junk. How on earth can they ever sort all those little pieces out again? Why? I hated seeing such a pretty procelain statue I donated tossed into a box and surely ruined.

It’s BIG! It’s BUSY on the weekends! And it’s kind of DISorgnized! Too bad.
You never know what you’ll find here. Disorganization can be a bargain-​hunters dream; it hides the steals. I have found few steals here, but they have a wide-​selection of stuff. Costume parties/​one-​shot clothes, perhaps? It’s one of the cheapest Goodwill’s out there! Go small-​town!
For a serious thrift shopper, I would recommend Value Village in Kennewick. It is much better organized and they move their merchandise much faster than this Goodwill.
If you have clothes you don’t use, consider donating! Goodwill is doing good stuff in our community!

This Goodwill rocks because it’s so huge. I love coming here once and a while but yea not on the weeekends. This place was so packed today we walked 15 steps inside the door and decided not to walk around.

it stinks here
the clothes are all really old thin material
ugh ugh
the furniture is awful
the kids toys are in bad condition
please dotn go here. There is a value village packed with good things in kennewick.

Went here to make my Halloween ’08 costume — for a whopping $ 7! Bought a blue/​white shirt and some white runners (sorry, have to go Cannuck on ya). Along w/​a ping pong paddle and hat I already had, I did Forrest Gump, baby!
This place as also been there for me to offload many items so they can be Reused/​Recycled (let’s go Earth!). I know somebody must be lovin’ that polyester baby blue casual suit I used to sport!
