Goodwill

Super clean and well put together. The whole top level had clothes which looked like they had a pretty good selection (I don’t shop for clothes but I did see a Burberry purse that caught my eye and I did buy a nice North Face coat). They had quite a bit of jewelry in the cases. the kids toys and clothes section was super small.
Downstairs is housewares and books. The craft section was small with super overpriced fabric and yarn (1 yarn skein was $ 7.00 yikes). there seemed to be more dollar store ‘new items’ then donated housewares items. There wasn’t much knick knack stuff either. The pet section was only a shelf. There wasn’t a lot of bedding or electronics. And the furniture was pretty limited. There was a good selection of DVDs and an average sized book selection that was very well organized.
Overall…I didn’t get what I was looking for but picked up somethings I didn’t expect to find that were in great shape. I didn’t get a cart full like I do at other stores but I’d go back if I was in the area.

Best thrift store in town, only thing I wish is they had more furniture, it seems like they run out oiften and I enjoy the cool stuff they do get, the folks that merchandise at this goodwill are really good, friendly and helpful! They will even load your truck

I am a total fan of thrift stores. I even enjoy Goodwill, but this location in Auburn is sad and run down. The Auburn store is so depressing. They should call the Capitol Hill store and get some tips on running a great thrift store. The Capitol Hill location is so well organized, they cross merchandise items and it is so clean and well organized. There are locations that are awesome, and some feel junky and full of despair.

Very spacious, clean, and thoughtfully laid out – unlike most other Goodwill stores I have been to! There is also tons of free parking, which really gives you no excuse to avoid donating stuff. The donations centre is located on the opposite side of the building from the main entrance (it is accessible via the parking lot), and you’ll always be greeted by a couple of volunteers if you venture there to hand some stuff over.
I am yet to buy anything from the store (I’ve only ever donated here), but I’ve seen some great clothing deals while perusing the aisles. I would definitely come here not just for wacky one-​time-​use outfits, but also to see if it’s possible to snipe a good deal on generally expensive items like high quality jackets.

The supervisor was really rude to me this morning, which is the first time I’ve encounter this type of behavior. Maybe he was having an off day, but geeze! The manager was not in so I wrote to corporate. I just want them to know that a certain supervisor may need some customer service retraining. I know I would if I ran a business. Four stars because other than what happened today, it is a clean store with a good selection.

The first time I walked in here, I was honestly shocked by how well-​coordinated the design was for the building interior and décor, if only if the lower level could compare: p Shopping here on Mondays is also absolutely amazing, I am often surprised by the quantity and quality items becomes marked down to a $ 1.79 purchase. Though I am not really in the market for vintage clothing, this goodwill also has a very interesting vintage section worth looking through even in the other gender’s section.
Both amazing deals and killer atmosphere. I don’t know how it can get any better.

Best goodwill/​thrift shop I have ever been too from ambience, organization, vibe, and items well priced. It’s an excellent fun store I will visit often.

What a wonderful store with incredibly customer-​oriented staff! The men’s selection is small, but that’s how it goes in this country. I found exactly what I was looking for– actually better than expected. My trip here was for work clothes and once income stabilizes I will be definitely be back to shop here for everything else. Again, small, but excellent selection for men.

They have a couple stores to which they channel all the good, worthwhile donations, and this is the best one.

This Goodwill is great! I never fail to find something I like. This visit, I snagged a pair of Clark’s sandals for 10 dollars! The prices are always right here. Best thrift shop in Seattle!

So nice. The staff is exceptional!!! I found two Northface items for under $ 20 each. For sure worth stopping. Store is very clean and items are nice.

Out of all the Goodwills I have been to over the years to donate clothing, I have NEVER bought anything other than something to dress up in for some college party. After moving from Louisiana, I didn’t have any large coats and barely any boots, but thanks to the lovely donations from the people of Capitol Hill, I’ve been able to stock my closet with the necessities, and trendy ones at that!
They even have a section of the store dedicated to clothes that are currently in style at the moment. If you’re looking for a last minute outfit, or top, and don’t want to spend more than $ 5-​$ 10, this is your place! Check out the sales, they have 50% off various colored tags throughout the month, so I’ve bought tops for $ 2.50 from Banana Republic, a J. Crew pea coat for $ 20, and Nine West flats for $ 5.00.
For those of you who need to drive to get there, no fear, they have a free lot next to the store to park in.

Fantastic Store!
From collectibles to used clothing and housewares.
Excellent prices and a great mission.
Chris was extremely nice at checkout. Plus he’s really cute.

It’s a Goodwill, although particularly large and particularly clean as those go, at least compared to Hawaii.
Uhm. There was a strange lack of mixing bowls and baking sheets, although they’ve got 20¢ flatware which includes some loose pieces of my favorite flatware set (Towle Supreme Liberty Bell).
Like most thrift, it’s best if you’re good at walking away from a bad deal, have an eye for quality, and know what you need. If you do your research on whatever you’re buying the trip will go a lot better.
I did get this rad Hitachino Nest glass which will make a great gift for an owl-​obsessed friend doing her graduate degree in Japanese translation!

I honestly try to love this location because its much closer and easier to shop than the local Value Village. today, after paying $ 15 for a pair of pants I will probably just go to Ross instead. their store is relatively clean and the staff are nice enough. and even with the unavoidable high costs in seattle I really feel its a shame that a thrift store would charge so much.

Probably one of the cleanest Goodwills I’ve ever been to? They have public bathrooms!!! Clean too. Doesn’t have that dusty smell most thrift stores have. Is this even a Goodwill? Prices were a little more than what I’m used to, but didn’t stop me from looking through the racks. The good stuff seemed to be priced at $ 9.99. Take your time and you’ll find some really good buys. I had more luck here than at Crossroads. Go Figure?

I love this store ! Nice and clean! I live real close and it’s always nice to pop in. It way more organized than all the other ones.

I LOVE Seattle Goodwill stores, so I was super excited to see that one was coming to my neighborhood. I was worried that it would constantly be picked through and prices would have that Capitol Hill premium, but so far that doesn’t seem to be the case, and it’s pretty in-​line with other Goodwill stores in Seattle.
Their selection is nice, the space is clean, and I have scored a few great items already in the short time they’ve been open.
I only have one big complaint: The clothes on the racks are packed tight, so much so that you can’t really do the slide and look, slide and look movement that is required of thrift store shopping. A little bit of wiggle room is all you need, but yesterday I broke a plastic hanger just trying to wedge it out from the rack to see a sweater (sorry plastic hanger, sorry Goodwill).
I can imagine that it’s a struggle in a smaller space to accommodate the volume of materials and donations that they get, but cramped racks makes it harder to people to comfortably browse and the inventory less likely to move because people can’t see any of it. I know I’m missing out on some good stuff just because I don’t have the patience or upper-​arm strength to attempt to see it. Less on racks = people can see the (actually awesome) clothes = people can buy the (actually awesome) clothes in higher quantities because they can’t resist them = more sales, less on racks, everyone is happy, Unilocal reviewer Susanna wins the Nobel Peace Prize for thrift store logistics and gets to lead the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade…
But I love you, Goodwill, and even if you continue to pack your racks like you’re preparing a cardigan-​intense fallout shelter, I will keep giving you money anyway.

I miss the old Half Price, but I think this new Goodwill will do nicely.
Their selection is a bit higher end than other locations and the pricing reflects it. Since they are located in caphill, they probably have the pulse on the more trendy/​current things. For instance, I found a set of 4 retro UW drinking cups, probably sold as a promotion from Mobil gas stations. Each glass was 99c, while the 4 Seahawks drinking glasses (also vintage, also from Mobil) was priced at $ 3.99ea. I picked up the UW glasses and only kind of regret not buying the Seahawks a little bit.
As for the clothes, I found two dresses I liked, but they were priced $ 25ea, which is «real/​new store» pricing. I queried two friends on the dresses and left with just one of them (don’t regret not buying the other).
They have three (?) dressing rooms, the wait was long as it tends to be at Goodwill, however it wasn’t due to someone having a shopping cart full of items, but rather friends sharing and talking about their picks… which is fun, but only if you’re part of the group. I had wished they could share a room or something.
When I have a taste for something a bit more on-​trend or am in the neighborhood, I will be stopping by.
PS: The parking lot is weird, but it’s the same as it was before. Hilly and I swear the spots are all compact size.

This new location is a nice addition to Seattle’s Goodwill stores, and convenient for Capitol Hill (previously, the closest store was the main Dearborn one). It’s clean, reasonably priced, and best of all, it has AMPLE FREE PARKING. This is a rare feat for Capitol Hill and absolutely makes the difference between me shopping/​donating here regularly and me half-​heartedly thinking I should maybe try to stop by sometime.
The store is located in the old Half Price Books building, and it has a lot more charm than Goodwill stores typically do (at least upstairs) — exposed brick walls, open beams, large windows, and high ceilings all make it feel spacious, airy, and light. The downstairs area, where housewares are located, is more typical Goodwill style, with linoleum floors, exposed pipes, and plain white walls. But hey, you’re here for bargains, right?
I was worried there would be a significant Capitol Hill markup, but the prices seem pretty comparable to other Goodwill stores, and they do have the same 50% off colored-​tag sales as the other stores (although it’s not as visibly signed). The inventory seems to be hand-​picked to appeal to the neighborhood, so, for example, the shoes and bags are more fashionable and feature more designer labels. There’s a limited amount of furniture and books downstairs as well.
A welcome addition to the neighborhood and a great not-​for-​profit alternative to Value Village! I’m looking forward to stopping here regularly to see what’s new and drop off my donations.
