Love this place! I've been a donor (of items) and customer since 2007. It's the best salvage spot…read morein the city, IMO, and I've frequented them all for many years, both as a contractor and as a homeowner. Almost all the employees I've interacted with have been pleasant, helpful, and friendly with very few exceptions. Regarding 'haggling' with them, in the few cases where I felt it was appropriate, they were always willing to entertain a fair transaction. Funny how that works-- if you come in with the right attitude! (I'm lookin' at you, 1- and 2-star reviewers! ) Salvage work is hard, and dealing with jackwagon 'hagglers' or unprepared 'customers' makes it harder. Show the BR folks some love; save the self-righteous attitude for Restoration Hardware.

The most interesting shop in Ballard you never noticed!…read more Located just off the main drag in Ballard, this location is central and convenient. There is a lot of parking, though there is some sketchy street activity (rvs etc) in that area. This would be an incredibly fun place to shop if you were decorating a home or business... they have mass amounts of light fixtures, windows, doors, hearths, door knobs... plus a section of furniture. And by furniture I mean in any form. Old restaurant booths and stools, large armoires, nice old solid wood pieces. I was hoping to find some local or retro Seattle art, and it was a little sparse today, though I expect it gets picked through frequently. Will definitely come browse again in the future.

We came here to get custom cut wood pieces to shore up a queen size four poster bed frame…read more They cut two pieces for us: 2" x 4" pieces, 78" long with 3/8" holes drilled every 13". From the time the order was placed until it was ready was less than one hour. We were assisted by two people, and they were both friendly and helpful. Not only were prices reasonable, but one staff member helped us to save money by asking specific questions and directing us to something more affordable. Additionally, we never have any problems finding parking! My husband and I have been here a number of times and highly recommend it!

We asked Salmon Bay to pick up an extra (unwrapped) pallet of gravel and they refused saying it was not their policy and the gravel could be "contaminated."
