We thought at first this was part of the bookstore, but it's not. Completely separate. They open at…read moredifferent times. We happen to see this place near to where we were via Google search. We just finished hockey and wanted to hit up some local thrift, vintage, shops. So when we arrived, they were closed. We walked to a nearby thrift store then came back. We were immediately intrigued by the stores ambiance. It was set up really cute, total vintage, and clean. Many things caught our eyes, and we scattered all giddy, but the elder behind the counter kept staring at us, NONE STOP. Like we were stealing from her. Which made it awkward. So we didn't stay long. Then she got very flustered, that I wanted to pay 1/2 cash, 1/2 card. I stood there quietly. To the point I was like, just keep the clothes. It's ok, but we really liked what we were buying. Many things are over priced, as many "vintage" stores are. (Ex. A "very" used pair of Converse Chucks were $45). You gotta really shop for the diamond in the rough, but it's absolutely worth it. They had a nice selection of attire, we would've purchased more. However, not finding much clothing under $40, and I was shopping with two teenagers. It was a tad outta our price range.

Hmm let's see ... the best Pendleton coat ever (and big enough for me!) at her Fremont Sunday…read moreMarket stand, cartoon nostalgia at her Tacoma shop, an unbeatable selection of Christmas sweaters when that season rolls around, and extremely affordable prices all around. It'd be tough to improve on anything at Pure. There are people who get in the business of hawking vintage stuff because it's trendy or a quick buck, and then there are people who know the business deeply because they love it. Jordan is firmly in the latter camp; her little shop on "I" St. (across from Tacoma Little Theatre) was her family shop for ages, and the newer, more expansive one (attached to Kings Books) allows plenty of room to roam. (It also feels really clean, unlike some vintage stores I've browsed.) With different stuff in the store vs. at the year-round weekly market vs. in the Etsy shop, you can have a whole lot of fun browsing here. And when you find the winners for you, it won't break the bank to hug them all up (Tiny Toons/Elmira-style) and bring them home with you. Enjoy!

Pure Vintage Clothing - This is all mine now. Sorry-not sorry. But Pure has a ton of vintage Pendleton for you to score, too.

4 stars for value. They have different deals depending on the day of the week. We went on Thursday…read morewhich was 50% off day. I was impressed with the denim selection. I found brands such as Madewell, J. Crew, American Eagle, Hollister and Abercrombie each tagged at around $8.99 (minus 50%!). I paid $20 for 3 hats (Rainiers and Mariners), jeans and a skirt for my daughter plus, the best deal, Paige jeans which came out to be $4! Pros: Clothing was organized into type and color which makes it easy to sort through. Cons: Location is kind of sketch. Items sold as is so it isn't always clean. Go on a Thursday if you love the value and the hunt! Bonus- If you bring your receipt on Sunday it's 75% off your purchase.

Thrift City like many stores of this sort... at least for me it's a matter of timing to see if…read morethere is anything that is going to catch my eye to purchase. I did get a button down shirt here of a tropical design that I have taken a serious hankering to. I wear it once a week. But usually my timing and my pickiness usually are the dominating factors in the situation and I don't usually wind up purchasing anything at all. So definitely check back frequently is my guess if you are this type of shopper like me to eventually get the timing right at some point. Steve on the other hand isn't picky and he often makes purchases here. So I guess it depends what you are looking for. Other shoppers often make a real haul here when it comes to check out time and the prices aren't bad at all. There is a decent sized clothing section for men and women as well as books, DVD's and more. If my libraries weren't so vast at home I'm sure I'd pick up a few from time to time. But again. Picky.

I was really surprised at how much I liked this place. It was about as clean as you can expect a…read moregoodwill outlet to be and the staff was super nice and helpful. There were a lot of people there who were clearly regulars. Shopping at the bins is always going to be a competitive environment, everyone's looking for the best stuff in a limited space. It can easily get a little combative in other locations, I've seen pushing, grabbing, and even fighting at other outlets and to some extent I expect it. But that was just not the vibe here, it was relatively chill. The staff here had very clear procedures to make it as fair as possible which they kindly but firmly enforced for everyone. From what I witnessed, all the other patrons respected the rules and kept calm and considerate of each other even in such a small space where everyone's digging around in the same area. And of course you can't beat the value, it takes some effort but I got so much great stuff for way less than I expected to spend. They have just about everything you could ever want, clothes, books, toys, household items. I will be back for sure.

This is definitely not your typical thrifting experience. (No bathrooms, smells like weed, rude…read morepeople) BUT the pricing can't be beat for what you can find. Definitely give everything a thorough look over before you buy. Especially with clothing there is usually a reason why it ended up there. BRING GLOVES!
