    Waste bin game
    Tani S.

    The community viewing room was perfect for my garbage focused little fellow (one of the drivers of a compost vehicle sweetly waved up seeing my seven year old and I peering down from the second floor room). It is relaxing watching the compost and garbage being sorted. There are comfortable benches and a sweet children's play area. I loved the little bin game to the right that made you match up what goes in each bin before you hear applause and the bin opens.

    A very cool, innovative way to learn about our disposal system! It's a little stinky, but they do their utmost to keep it more fresh and more safe for the employees as well as the people in the viewing room. The viewing room also has placards to help visitors learn more, answer questions and and be surprised! Garbage/Recycling/Compost games available, as well as a model of the site complete with small cars that can be zoomed in and around!

    My kiddo is into garbage trucks, so my husband thought it would be cool to check out this facility. There is a nice viewing area with a play table and other trash/recycling "games" for kids and adults alike. I didn't know what to expect, but it was really an eye-opening experience. Seeing the pile of unwanted furniture just sitting in a large heap made me kind of sad. It was like a wake up call to be more of a minimalist and not waste money on stuff that is gonna sit in one heap and moved to another heap. The steaming pile of yard waste also kind of made me think of the "Thriller" video and death. Again, a bit of a reality check. Stuff is stuff. We are all gonna just be a pile of dust one day. We really can do without all the stuff and enjoy our lives and be kind to the planet while we're alive.

    See all

    This is still VERY open. If you can haul your own junk this is a very efficient way to do it.

    Anyway, we were fooled, and got excited when the parents wanted to take us to the dump to get rid of their crap.

    Ballard

    As a neighborhood, Ballard has a lot to offer -- including one of the city's largest Goodwill…read morestores. Shopping here is a bit like the store itself: consistently chaotic, occasionally full of hidden gems, and always changing. As a result, every visit feels a bit different, which is exactly why I look forward to coming back every time. It's a dated location without the bells and whistles of the more modern ones with an abundant parking lot with tight spaces, and what feels like a never-ending line to donate via car. It was so significant that there is someone designated to help direct traffic. The store is massive. There are dedicated sections for electronics, art, books, home decor, furniture and what feels like endless aisles for accessories, clothes, and a limited selection of shoes. There are also bathrooms, but it was closed during my last visit (#1). Don't expect rock bottom prices as this isn't the cheapest Goodwill around. The staff isn't overly attentive, but they're efficient, especially when it comes to keeping the checkout line moving. Fortunately there are plenty of employees on hand, which is absolutely necessary given how hectic the donation area can get. __________ (#1) No, I don't want to imagine why.

    This is location holds the unique distinction of being the most useless thrift store in the county…read more Its selection is useless, its donation center always unable to take your donation (though they'll make you wait, trapped in line for 20 minutes to inform you of this). On top of all that, their convoluted parking lot is so absolutely kafkaesque that it snarls neighborhood traffic for blocks in every direction as frustrated "customers" try to find their way out of a cruel science experiment that feels intentionally cruel and unusual. AVOID THIS LOCATION AT ALL COSTS--DO NOT BE A FOOL!

    A place that takes my Styrofoam recycling for free? No paid membership? (Ridwell) No purchase…read morerequired? (Recology) AND take many other types of recycling for free?!!? FIVE STARS!!! My local city had hosted a Styrofest before the pandemic. Since its cancellation, it has been a struggle to find a proper recycler for block Styrofoam that opens on the weekend. One magical place - the Shoreline transfer station serving King County residents! I read before going that they accept many types of residential recycling for free. We filled our car with blocks of Styrofoam that have been sitting in the garage for years, a collection of textiles that aren't usable, and a big bag of plastic bags and wrappers that meet the recycling requirements. Because they also take dump at a fee, we are stopped at the little kiosk. She sees our Styrofoam and immediately tells us to follow the blue line. The rest is super simple, keep driving until you see the container like bins with the open doors, stop, empty the car, and leave. FREE! A sign says let an employee know if the super-sized bags are full. Signs at each bin tell you exactly what is or is not acceptable; that information is also online. We are super happy with how easy and useful it was. If you are an ardent and adamant recycler like me, this place is magical!

    I have an old HP laptop that died and I needed a new windows machine to run SQL Server management…read morestudio and they solved my IT issue inside of 12 minutes. They got me onto a new machine for about half the price I was prepared to spend, checked specs and I was almost shocked at how easy it was. The employee 100% looks like he came out of 1965. He was polite, long-haired hippie, looking dude that solved my problem and looked up the specs on the program I wanted to run, and I feel very well taken care of. If I had gone to some place like Best Buy, they would've tried to upsell me and cross sell me a double double sell me and this place I've come here about 10 years ago to buy a machine for my assistant at the time and very happy that it's a small Seattle business is still running. If you need a computer or a terminal or a monitor or an upgrade, I feel very confident that they would provide you excellent service high-quality hardware and we need to have more of these small businesses getting people to buy from them. Instead of trying to upsell me into a full laptop and the terminal in all of these parts, he sold me on a terminal a wireless Wi-Fi no monitor and it was very simple set up. I'm very happy to have given them my business, and will definitely be back.
