I was just in this Goodwill and I can't believe that a used bicycle is $70. The bike wasn't even gently used and the mark up for used is astronomical. I totally understand people donate to goodwill and I used to also. To pay 20 percent less than retail, is absurd. I saw shoes for $29 and shirts for $14. You can buy these items new at Ross. The sad part is that most of the "nicer" fashion focus stuff is online. I've shopped at crossroad and the old buffalo exchange. Their selection and price point is way better. I also understand that Goodwill provides worker retraining but I've had staff that are just rude. Where is the money going? I understand inflation, but these high prices are making it hard for folx that can't afford $70 for a bike to shop. Just my reflection. read more

Donation-wise I'm in love! They take large and small items, including furniture, see pic of list of what they don't take. Car line for donations is to the left of the building (when facing the front), far left corner and just behind building is where the donations (via car) happen. Be prepared to wait for a bit in line on weekends read more

Shoreline Goodwill - Donation - What they cannot accept as of 12/2025 - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

A little better experience this time. The place is always busy as I mentioned in my check-in, they do have a tight to very limited selection of 2x clothing which I need at reasonable prices mostly jackets shorts not too many shirts in the two extra large range. Utensils and kitchenware and hardware tends to be overpriced. But again think of it as a donation instead of just buying something which I have learned to do. You're helping others and originally I thought selfishly just about the price but this is a good place to go when you can't afford new stuff and you might find something that you had 20 years ago but you missed. They have a very big selection of used radio and electronic equipment including some older TVs so it's like a throwback. Book selection is pretty limited but very good prices on those I picked a history of art book up about 1500 pages it was only four bucks the tie cost more than the book and that was seven bucks so it's a little bit unpredictable with the prices but again it's a pretty good deal. It appears that veterans Day discounts are on Wednesday I missed it by one day but I got what I needed today. Have fun and happy shopping read more

After staying away for a bit of time I decided to try this Goodwill again. I met a sweet lady (customer) that mentioned that a pot with lid was so expensive (19.00). She said she would wait and hopefully it would still be there when the color sticker was on sale. Since I was only there to be around people I told her I would buy it for her. When we went up to the clerk, the customer mentioned to her that there were some chips and the inside was stained. Perhaps she could have a discount. The clerk, manager said no because that pot was worth 100.00 new. Clearly not, so told the lady that I would pay the 19.00 and to give the customer the receipt in case she would like to return it. It was not the 19.00 that upset me, it was the lie and arrogance. My gain is having a new friend . Sorry for the long review but you need to know. read more

I am an avid thrifter and this is a staple store for me. That said however it feels like the selection here and the ability to find gems has gone down hill. Part of that is due to pricing which has skyrocketed in some cases. Shout out to the staff who are friendly. read more

Amazing finds, decent prices and growing kids - you can't beat the finds when you have growing kids.

be more respectful to y'all's old employees not the ones yall liked‍ believing shit you heard & not going to the actual person & talking to them ‍‍‍‍ read more

Nice and clean with great prices and lots to choose from. Highly recommend it for everyone

They take in SO many donations. I honestly don't know how they keep up. No shade for that reason, but sometimes they close donation area randomly. And often there's a longgggggg line. read more

Goodwill Drip. Turns out they can only refund to a store merch/credit/gift card. That's fine. Their accessory bay wasn't disappointing. read more

Shoreline Goodwill - $6 and $5. - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Horrible customer service, tried asking a worker where the donation bin was and was completely ignored. Also the store is an absolute disaster every single time I go in. Used to be way better. read more

Rats in the store! Went in recently and saw a rat run across the floor! Told an employee and they said they have them all over! So gross, not going back. read more

I have been in this store a couple times today I went in seen a jacket for 14.99 so I decided to get I had my daughter in the cart so she must have accidentally tore the tag off. the cashier called the manager and she was like 39.99. I was like Nevermind the tag that was on there was 14.99. then she tells me its north face. I'm like yeah I know. it already seemed like they where following my fiancé. its not even about the price it's the fact the asian lady said it like I was a peasant. I also left my phone in there by accident thanks to the cashier and I must have said thanks a little to low and she didn't hear me. then she goes thank you so I said thank you again. Rude people!! I dont put my life on the line for my country to treat me like trash. read more

Went to drop off a few items for donation on a Sunday. Never noticed that their donation area has different hours than their store. My bad. I also got stuck behind some folks who looked as if they were cleaning out their entire house; they rented a u-haul van for this purpose! Of course when it was my turn, the process went very smoothly. Thanks y'all. read more

Shoreline Goodwill - Donation hours on weekend are different than for the store. - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

The manager working today provided the worst customer service. Had to be called twice by the cashier working and did not seem like he has been trained to work with people. I was not understanding the price of an item and the issue of the price set aside his attitude was hostile and dismissive and disrespectful. read more

This is one of the best Goodwill's in the area, in my opinion. It's huge and has a ton to offer. Their fashion focus section is great and has good finds. They do a lot to keep things clean and organized. I always find some gems when I come here! read more

Goodwill in Shoreline should be ashamed of themselves. I thought they were some non profit. Don't they get almost everything from donated items. Red Cross gave me a voucher for 50 at goodwill after I lost everything in a fire. This Goodwill refused to accept. Smh. They should be ashamed of themselves!!!! read more

One of my favorite Seattle Goodwill locations! They always have great furniture, better than most thrift shops in my experience. I've discovered countless treasures and it's always a surprise what I will find. The store is organized and clean and their safety protocols allow me to shop without worrying about my safety. Great parking lot and a good location off i-5. read more

One of the employees "Bea" didn't even greet me when I walked up and immediately told me to move my mask farther up my nose (my nose was covered). I didn't realize employees there also had it in their job description to correct the way a mask is worn. I will unfortunately never be returning back here or donating at this location ever again. read more

If I could give the customer service at this location no stars that is definitely something I would do. I came in with no intention to purchase anything but found a few things I needed at a reasonable price so why not. I traveled about 1hr 1/2 away because I was told this location had some good finds they were right great finds but customer service definitely lacked professionalism and respect. A rep name Jonathan was assisting me during my check out and before checking out he asked if I wanted to donate .50 for charity which I kindly declined. It wasn't there to where I felt disrespected it was when he said "it's just .50 cents" that wasn't just disrespectful but questioning my decision made it even worse. Something like that should never be said to a customer and should be kept at a professional level and keep it moving. Hopefully Mr.Jonathan can go into customer service training since goodwill offers an 8 week customer service training program I think he would definitely benefit from and be able to grow with his future career path. read more

I don't know why this Goodwill has only 3.5 stars. I LOVE this Goodwill. And I drive out of my way to come to this one because I tried the U District, Ballard, and Federal Way locations for some Halloween/seasonal goods. I am one of those people who will buy way more than they came to the store for and I have come to this location about 5 times in the last month. I have happily left with way more than I needed because there are always such good finds! I have found great NEW stuff for our bathroom (bath mat, jewelry organizer, and shower curtain). I have gotten some random things for Halloween (clothes for costumes, a new unused spooky drink making set, and a candy bowl). There is an abundance of kitchen stuff I've gotten from here (knife block, reusable silicone food covers, set of glass bowls, mugs, etc.). Every time I have checked out the employees have been incredibly friendly and conversational. My unnecessary shopping habits and I will continue to return to this Goodwill location! read more

Shoreline Goodwill - A unique and funny find in the bathroom section - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Yeah. Decided I don't need to go here anymore. Parking lot sucks. Store is a mess inside. Ridiculous prices on items. (Travel size can of used shave gel for $2.99. Price should be $.50 tops) Stinky bum in book section. Which is also a huge mess. Poor labeling. Shelves squished together. The workers don't wear any identifying uniform or badges and they walk through the store like zombies. And to top it all off when you check out they ask you if you want to round up your purchase. I even dislike this place so much I'm not going to donate items to them and instead will find a Children's Hospital or Seattle Cancer thrift store to donate my items to. Buh bye Goodwill. read more

Still love this Goodwill store because I can usually find some great stuff here. I think many people think everything at the store is used, but they actually have some new stuff here too like socks, hats, crafts, etc. The majority of the items for sale are used, yes, but if you look close enough, you'll be able to find some great gems. They have some great holiday decorations and gifts too if you go early enough in the season! read more

I had stopped going for a while because it had gotten so sloppy, dirty, disorganized. However, I just went (August 2022) and it has vastly improved! Now organized, easy to find things, no digging through piles needed, organization makes sense, cleaned up, etc. Huge improvement and I look forward to returning! read more

Shameful you can't give a place zero stars. I get it's a minimum wage job. However, when people come to drop off belongings and are polite and helpful, couldn't they train staff to be the same? Absolutely worst experience with any service organization like this ever. And, I'm a fan of these stores, shopping for bargains on occasion. If you tell me one minute you are taking a piece of furniture, no problem, and the next person who comes out says no....can you get it straight? Attitude and the way you speak to folks is everything. Find donations elsewhere, I hear St. Vincent needs things and their money actually goes to help people. And, Value Village has incredibly polite staff. read more

New 25,000 square foot Goodwill! this is the second largest in Seattle. the store has all the normal departments and a few more including a fashion-forward section and a children's book section. They even have some new items mixed in here and there. Goodwill is a great place to get some clothing and housewares at next to nothing prices. What's so great about Goodwill? all the stores sales are used to provide free classes at the stores job training center! helping people learn English, and find jobs. read more

Shoreline Goodwill - 145th st. and 15th ave NE - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

I love this Gee Dub! I sort of feel that Goodwill is like a treasure hunt. Sometimes you strike gold, and other times you find nothing. That's what I love about thropping here. The store is very well-lit, clean, and the staff is very friendly. Some of my finds have been a solid oak claw-foot table, a plushy double-breasted coat from the 60's in brand new condition, and a cool print by Lionel Barrymore. There are many other things I've found, but they are too numerous to list. We are generally impressed with the toy selection. My son has found some wonderful Nerf guns for a very reasonable price, as well as a few stuffed animals and board games. I don't base my stars on what they have in stock at any given time, but how my overall experience is. I always find friendly, helpful staff who also know to give a person space while safari bargain hunting. Also, is there anything more fun than trying on goofy hats, wigs, or dare I say even lampshades? read more

I came here this morning to pick up some Halloween items. I am so impressed with how they are taking COVID-19 precautions. They have sanitizing stations, the store is VERY clean and the items are well displayed-nothing was cluttered or hard to access. I didn't have to touch any items except the ones I came to purchase. They have sneeze guards at the check outs, and every employee was masked. Thank you Goodwill for helping keep the holiday spirit, ESPECIALLY in 2020. Really appreciate you all. Thank you for providing such an important service to the community. I didn't drop off any donates today, but they were open! read more

Updated review: Great stock, reasonable prices! Haven't witnessed mistreatment of any employee since this encounter. I hope the employees are happy and safe. read more

This is where I typically donate items because it's fairly convenient to where I live, and it's fun to go inside and check out what's for sale--the store is big and has a large selection of housewares. However, the prices are fairly high for some reason--used picture frames for $8 and used coffee mugs for $4? I could get cheaper, brand new items for less at TJ Maxx or Ross. So, the cost of shopping here makes it tough to be eco-conscious and buy previously-owned instead of new. I have found and purchased some fun things here, but I don't feel like I'm getting a bargain. And it's always busy, regardless of the day of the week or time of day--available parking in their lot is hard to come by, and the aisles are always full of people. I'm glad that their business is booming, but it's definitely not a relaxing place to wander and discover treasures! read more

OMG are you kidding me? I got my husband a Faconnable shirt here for $5! They usually sell for like $100-150 at Nordstrom. For me - a nearly brand new Steve Madden brown leather-ish mini purse for $10, which I plan to use as a bike handlebar bag. And a candy bar to replenish my blood sugar after walking around the store in a daze for an hour. Left on the wall because they didn't fit - a pair of Vince Camuto cage sandals. $13. That's right, people. There was a ton of name brand stuff, and the store was full of goodies all around. My new favorite Goodwill, beating out Ballard by just a smidge, because the Shoreline location is bigger and (at least the day I was there) easier to maneuver around in. Like the other Goodwills in the area, this one also has a selection of dollar store-ish new items. There also seemed to be a section of donated items that were new with tags (although this section was not marked as such). Why have I never been here before? Didn't know it existed. Would never look for shopping in Shoreline. However, this is RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from Seattle, people. read more

See all

If you are trying to donate, keep in mind how PICKY these people are. I am not the only one they have sent back home with perfectly good usable items. It's beyond me why they turn away FREE STUFF that they can put out on the floor and try to sell. Instead, they use their own judgment (which usually sucks)... So, you might be better off donating at Value Village, Saint Vincent De Paul, or The Salvation Army. F**k Goodwill!!! read more

Shoreline Goodwill - Perfectly good TV stand Goodwill wouldn't take. - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

One of my favorite Goodwill stores in Seattle! (Or, well, just slightly outside Seattle.) Some stores are better than others if you're looking for specific things, and this store has frequently come through for me with inexpensive, cute dresses. They also have a large housewares/kitchen section that frequently has fancy china sets and teapots. The front of the store usually has a seasonal area with a combination of used and new items, mainly decor and accessories, but also lots of costume accessories, wigs, and makeup during Halloween. The Shoreline store seems to either get replenished frequently, or it's far enough away from Capitol Hill that it doesn't get picked over by hipsters as fast. It's definitely a popular location, though, and gets busy on weekends. If you've got a car, strike out to Shoreline and give this one a try! read more

Shoreline Goodwill - Xmas trees and seasonal holiday stuff. - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

This is a very clean, very well organized Goodwill. I just wasn't impressed with the inventory. Now this is, of course, entirely dependent on the day one visits, I am sure. There was a lot to see certainly. I just didn't see anything that would encourage me to come back and check again. It is all very recent and made in China. I usually look for US manufacture. There _was_ a very reasonably priced copper kettle though, so this site is very much worth a look. read more

We always find good stuff in this location. Sometimes it takes a bit of searching and poking through things, but the treasures are there

I went here to go drop a few things off, some jerk pulls out of the parking lot in front of me with out even stopping and I almost hit him but I was driving slow because of the things I was going to drop off. I pull up to the area and there are 4 staff members standing around. Two of them tell me to follow their orders because unloading two cars is to much for the people that are there. No problem I just wont go there anymore. Your staff was rude to me. I am giving you free money you should be nice. read more

Just a common goodwill. Lots of selection and lots of merchandise. Usually find a thing or two that I'd need. Nothing crazy cool here, but it's always a solid thrifting option. The donation line is a one-way street starting the north side behind the building and exiting on 145th! So be careful when you're donating :) read more

Over the last year this goodwill has become more and more expensive to the point where I have to compare prices with brand new items on amazon. The last few times that I've gone I've left with nothing because of overpricing. read more

Found a nice computer desk nearly new for $15 can't beat that and any business that helps people on the road to recovery and sustainable employment should be supported in our community. read more

This place is huge, with most items fairly priced. Still, be sure to pay close attention; I saw a blanket with tags on it from Target and the Goodwill asking price was more than what it would have cost directly from Target. -_- But I got a butter bell for $3, significantly less than what I saw for sale at some farmers markets. This is also something I've been questing for and it was the first thing I found, so that told me this trip was going to be successful. I was pleased with this haul, though there have also been days where I walk away with very little. Just the nature of thrifting. This location is large enough that if you go during quieter, weekday hours, it's very easy to maintain social distancing. I saw several folks not wearing masks, so I scurried away down a different aisle. I do wish they had the ability to enforce these rules, but the staff certainly doesn't get paid enough to deal with the push back. Just use good sense, WEAR YOUR MASK PROPERLY, and carefully clean your purchases right when you get home. read more
