Goodwill

I give them no stars, in fact id deduct them. Over priced shit, plus they had no body attending jrwlry counter and store was dirty

The cleanest and best organized Goodwill that I have visited (having been to several in WA and OR).

Great store with tons of things to look through. Good prices and sweet staff. The remodel looks great and everything is organized. A fun go to

Would do neative stars if could!
Wouldn’t take a bookshelf donation because of a couple scratches on the legs and they stated they would not be able to sell it. Didnt even look at the whole thing. But around the corner all the wood furniture and electronics were sitting in the rain. Thought this place was to help people but apparently just for profit. Pretty shocked by this and will be taking donations elsewere from now on.

The store is a little smaller than the Bellevue Goodwill. The selection is limited. But you never know what great deals you’ll find here.
The great thing about this place is the people that work here. They are really nice and happy to see people give back to the community.
Parking is never an issue.

This is the BIG Goodwill in Tacoma (although, to my surprise, the map shows a handful of them in the Tacoma metro area). If you’re thrifting in Tacoma, this is probably the one to start off with.
The store is quite large with big departments, especially housewares and books. During October, they have a pretty good Halloween costume shop as well, combining secondhand costumes and garments with new accessories and makeup, so you can easily put together a whole costume here.
I’ve always found it to be pretty clean and well-​organized, although for whatever reason, I usually don’t seem to find any treasures here. But it’s worth a visit, especially if you’re looking for glassware, dishes, and kitchenware.

Goodwill has become so expensive. You get the clothes donated for one, and then you sell them for a price you’d pay new! They even had a skirt from walmart, tag still on and it said 5.99, BUT goodwill had a sticker above it that read 7.99. How in the frick Are you going to try and sell it for more then what walmart wanted. Seriously??? They even had a rocking chair that was scraped, dented, piece of the back missing, and the price tag said 49.99…nope

I don’t know how I missed this Goodwill before. I went straight to the mens section looking for shorts. While I was somewhat miffed at the fact there is no size organization like most thrift stores or any store at that, there was quite a selection. I mean all the clothes are just crammed in the racks in no specific order. Normally I don’t like to dig too much when it’s not organized. And between the pants, jeans, shorts, actually all the parts of the men’s section I didn’t find a piece of clothes more than $ 8.99. This is really good, especially on the double tag days & that’s why I continued to dig.
There was a lot f furniture and knick knacks and housewares. I went for a wet/​dry vac, which I didn’t find but I did find a lot of super deals overall. The cashier was really sweet and friendly even though it kind of wakes you up every time she would yell «Good morning!!“every time someone walked in the door.
There really isn’t anything else of value in this shopping center though. Probably why I’ve never been here until now.

HUGE, is the first word that comes to mind when I walk in but at first glance it appears to be just racks and racks and more racks of clothing… ugh, it would take hours to sort through them, though labeled, they were packed!
The rear of the building is were you would go to look for the goodies such as household items, electronics, furniture etc. I’m not sure on how things get put on the shelves but the couple of times I have been, it real slim pickings!
I’ve only had luck once coming here for something I have looked for, but if you can stand the smell of thrift stores, you could find what you are looking for here I’m sure.

Always am able to find good bargains at Goodwill; I know i’ve said this before in other reviews of other Goodwill stores, but it’s always true.
My favorite bargain so far that i’ve found is probably three DVDs of the old Disney weekday cartoon series Ducktales for 2.99 a disc; BTW, volume 1 of the show on DVD consisted of three discs, so I found the entire Volume 1 DVD of the show here :)

Shop at this store AT YOUR OWN RISK! My blender disintegrated, so I headed to Goodwill to find an economical replacement. I found one that appeared to be satisfactory for $ 18.99 — the most expensive one available, figuring I’d rather pay a bit more in order to get a quality used one.
I got it home, took it apart to clean it up before using it. The rubber sealing ring was absolutely filthy, so OK I washed it up and in the process took off the little green price tags. I reassembled it, put in then ingredients for a smoothie and turned it on. Even though it was not overfilled, and the cap was firmly in place it leaked my smoothie all over the kitchen counter.
To make a long story short, the manager («Yvonne») refused to exchange it because I could not find my receipt. Finally I did locate the receipt, made a second trip back to exchange it, but this Yvonne had left word not to exchange it! (BTW I was polite and civil throughout this whole ordeal.) The excuse this time was that the green price tags were missing!
Now I am stuck with a defective blender and out $ 18.99!
Don’t expect to find much good will at «Goodwill.»
BTW I found a brand new Oster at Penny’s for $ 26.00. And they were really friendly!

It’s a large store– but thats pretty much all it has going for it. Not a fan, but since it’s so close to work I come here to see if I can find lil odds and ends.
My biggest gripe is that unlike other Goodwills I have frequented– their children and infant sections are NOT divided my size, rather grouped together by likeness and color. I love to dig for a great deal — who doesn’t– I however do NOT like digging in rack after rack trying to determine the sizing!

This Goodwill is practically the size of a Target. Of course with most places that sell used stuff, you have to pick through some items to find the gems. My sister and I were really impressed with the amount (and price) of vintage dish sets and Corningware. You could make a killing selling this stuff on Etsy!
The furniture section left little to be desired. No collectible pieces. Didn’t rifle through the clothes but they had tons and tons.
I had spent the entire afternoon in Tacoma and this was our last stop before driving back to Seattle. Not able to … err… hold it, I needed to take a break from shopping to use the ladies room. It was SUPER clean! Such a nice surprise. Definitely the highlight of the trip to this store.

All the Goodwill’s in Tacoma seem like old bldgs acquired from Ross or Marshall’s… it wigs me out.
Every store seems pretty small and fairly light on stuff. I actually wonder if they filter too much out to put online at
. Tacoma Goodwill has lots online, but little in their stores.

I go to thrift stores at least once a week, so this is familiar territory for me. Goodwill on 38^th has a pretty good selection, especially if you’re looking for something specific.
Strong points: fair-​sized kitchen section, a wide variety of women’s clothes, and a pretty good selection in furniture.
Weak points: extremely poorly organized women’s pants (they are in sections of S, M, and L, but be forewarned that these sections mean nothing – you need to search all pants), linens are hit or miss, and books and DVDs/​VHS cassettes are overpriced.
Tips: seek out the color of tag that’s 50% off – some of Goodwill’s clothes can be expensive otherwise. If something is not priced, ask and they will help. The staff is very nice.
