Trudie's gets 5***** from us for the following reasons:…read more 1. Her store is located next door to the WA licensing bureau and she can help you print documents that you might need in order to get that driver's license (we just moved to WA from CA and, despite advance research, discovered that we needed additional documents from the CA DMV in order to get a WA license -- Trudie was there to help!). 2. In addition to gently used treasures in her store, she also has a little espresso and snack bar inside the shop. Son and I ordered a very reasonably priced Americano to go back with us to the License Bureau. 3. Trudie was so helpful and friendly. She even let my son charge his phone on her charger for a few minutes so that he could complete the CA DMV stuff. She literally saved our day. We didn't need treasures from Trudie on this trip but will be back if we are in that market. Regardless, whenever we are at that license bureau, we'll pop in to say hi. She is a treasure all by herself!

We stumbled upon Trudie's on a rainy Saturday evening when most of the other small thrift shops had…read moreclosed, and had the place to ourselves while we shopped. It's a medium-sized store with a fairly small selection of men's and women's clothes, kids' clothing and toys, furniture, and housewares. The store is clean and well-maintained, and prices seemed reasonable from what we saw. The staff were friendly, greeting us when we walked in and asking if we needed help with anything, but we were happy to browse on our own. Too bad we didn't end up finding anything we wanted to buy - it would have been nice to support this little place. Overall, it's worth a stop if you're in the area doing the thrift and vintage circuit.

I've been shopping for 30 years at Nordstrom and Nordstrom rack. The reason I shop there is their…read morecustomer service, the quality of their items, and their return policy. I had to purchase a pair of dress shoes, and I specifically asked the salesperson when I told her that they were a little tight, but was assured that they would loosen up upon wear and if they didn't, that I could return them. I thought, "that's why I love Nordstrom's." Fast forward two hours, and I had a huge blister on the inside of my big toe. I had to remove the shoes and switch into tennis shoes, which did not match my suit at all. But, I knew I could return the shoes, so I was OK with that. I took the shoes back and was told by a sales clerk and by the manager, "Finn," that I could not return the shoes because they had been worn outside. I explained to her that I specifically asked that when I purchased them earlier and was assured that I could. She said that didn't matter because there were scuffs on the sole of the shoe. I said I would take store credit and she said "aren't you listening, I said we could not take them back." I would avoid this Nordstrom's rack, find another or better yet, just skip them altogether - they are not what they used to be, they do not stand behind their products, and they do not stand behind their word.

There are definitely some one-of-a-kind pieces that you won't find anywhere else. My only disappointment was the customer service. When I came in, I wasn't made to feel welcome. The staff member looked at me and walked away without checking in or offering any assistance. A friendly greeting would have made the experience much more enjoyable. That said, if you're looking for distinctive vintage finds, it's still worth a visit for the selection alone.

Glenna's is the most FANTASTIC shop. I first found an outfit for me and my boyfriend Stuart for a…read more70's party.

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!

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.

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.

So I put it back. They said you can haggle on some prices but I don't want to have to do that. Also they said some items could not be haggled with so it's just an inconvenient way to shop. I didn't end up buying anything and crossed it off for thrift stores to visit. I will say the young guy at the counter was friendly and helpful but the other guy who I assume is the owner seems a little demeaning towards some of his staff. I overheard him talking while helping with u haul. They did have some cool clothing items but too expensive.
