ReStyle for Ryther Thrift Shop

Good thrifting! Nothing is gross or weird (mostly). Got a nice set of tea cup saucers, a wool skirt, black men’s button up and dress pants. There’s a dressing room too. Worth visiting.

Great shop, sales go to a good cause helping kids etc. The staff is all volunteer and all the items are donated. They always have good things and if you do not find what you are looking for come back. There are always new things arriving.

This thrift store is run entirely by volunteers and the net proceeds are used to help fund services at Ryther, a charity for children who have been abused or need help with trauma, mental illness etc Seattle. I stopped by this past weekend and found some great dress shirts and sweaters.
The shop was remodeled and the format and philosophy updated in late 2013 so the older reviews aren’t really relevant any more.
With limited space, the thrift store has a variety of clothes and other items though it’s merchandise is higher quality then what you’ll find at most. The store isn’t huge so you won’t find a huge selection but you are probably more likely to find high-​end designer clothes here than you would at other thrift stores. You’ll also find slightly higher prices (Nice dress shirts were $ 17).
They get new stuff daily. I highly recommend this shop.

Did I thrift leather-​soled Ferragamo wingtips here for $ 35 in my brother’s size? Yes, yes I did.

I’ve been supporting this shop since the 80’s there is an upcoming Rummage sale.

About the Ryther Child Center League
Now in its 75^th year, the Ryther Child Center League has supported Ryther through fundraising, volunteer work and financial donations. From events, creating quilts, orchestrating plant sales and providing birthday cakes, haircuts and items for the Holiday Store for kids on campus, each League unit chooses how they want to be involved. The League also operates its all-​volunteer run thrift store in Ballard, called the R-​Shoppe, with all net revenues supporting Ryther.

Great place for cheap hipster vintage clothes and childrens books. VERY VERY cheap. Housewares are hit and miss, you will occasionally find a gem. The ladies who work here (volunteers I believe) couldn’t be nicer, and the proceeds go to an excellent cause.

Nice shop! I picked up four beautiful coats and jackets for $ 30. The store is cluttered and they don’t have a great selection of men’s clothes, but you can definitely find good stuff here if you come check in every once in a while. Sometimes they have tag sales, which are also pretty nifty.
These jackets, though — let me tell you about them. One of them is a grey peacoat in perfect condition. Another one is a suede Sundance jacket or something — brown and soft. I also got a weird blue coat that I thought I really liked, but my friend said it made me look like her Asian grandmother. I still like it, though. I just don’t really wear it as often. The grey peacoat, though — very nice. With enough patience and determination, I can practically guarantee you can find a bargain piece that will top off your Asian grandmother collection.

R Shoppe is a nice little thrift store, just a little bit cluttered, but not bad. They have a decent variety, clothes, cookware, books, CDs, jewelry… they don’t have a lot of anything (except maybe clothes), since they’re a very small little shop, but they do have a little of just about everything. Their prices are in general pretty decent, especially if they’re having a sale, if a bit random at times.
I’m quite happy — they had a sale, and I picked up a bunch of stuff for my new apartment kitchen and some other stuff for $ 11, and the staff was friendly, if a little disorganized.
Overall, it’s a nice little thrift store, worth a stop if you’re in Ballard.
As a note, they support the Ryther Child Center (
) — I don’t know much about them, but evidently they help down-​and-​out kids on a 10-​acre campus. Sounds like a good thing to me!
