On the downside finding exactly what we were looking for required a lot of trips between floors until we figured it out. There were not a lot of employees to be found, and the ones we did find weren't exactly helpful. For such a huge store, located where it is, there seemed to be a shortage of customers as well. It had a dystopian feel to the place for sure with harsh fluorescent lighting to it and empty aisles. I don't know how to describe it better than that. What should have been a nice huge store just left us feeling a little anxious to leave.

Not sure if it's management or what . There is no longer a pick up counter, so instead, you have to wait in a long line of people who are checking out to pick up your order that you've already paid for . The cashiers are working as fast as they can, but there was about 35 people in line in front of me today and again a week and a half ago when I was there . Please bring back the pick up counter !!

The kiosks were fun and it was one of the only places I could get a watch chrystal replaced. JC Penney's used to be cool and the smell of Ivars, Subway, Taco Bell and Panda Express brought back the 90's nostalgia of cd's and getting new kicks. Fast forward to 2025 and the indoor mall has been closed for a long time. The only thing left is a shell of Red Robin's, Nordstrom Rack, and the outside businesses such ad chipotle AT and T and Barnes and Nobles. I was reminiscing on Blue Finn buffet, Azteca and Bed Bath. I guess there's lots of remodeling going on and the Kraken ice rink is built which draws a different vibe. It feels more disjointed as a mall and more of a huge lot with random businesses that are mismatched. Target across the way is still going strong but the crime in that area is high. I miss the old Northgate and the community vibe it attracted.

Shopping in Seattle, Washington…read more.. This location of Ross was so close to Daiso. I just had to take a quick look! Like every Daiso on a Tuesday, it might be busier because of the "Tuesday Club" discount of 10% off - all day!

Anyway, I saw lots of cute things like a black Hello Kitty office chair, a Stitch backpack, Squishmallow Crocs, and more! Gosh... I think I like Ross more than Marshalls... shhh!!!

I was expecting somethine like the men's warehouse: organized by size, style, color and seaon. Not here. I was shocked went I went here: it looked like a giant Value Village. I could hardly sort out one section from the next. I was looking for a winter coat, but they had none--and they do not have anything larger than 2x in men's. I'm a 4x. So that rules out more than half of the men my age. And to not have an online store is inexcusable in 2025.

I was greeted by a nice friendly man who gave me some info about the place and pointed out that the majority of the items are in the back rooms. This place is deceptively large. It's a bit messy in the back but there is a little bit of everything here. He also told me some items were new and didn't have prices on them but to ask if I wanted to know. I'd rather have items labeled so I can see if it's a good deal or not. I hate to ask each time I look at an item. Overall, it's a small business in a sus part of Seattle that frankly needs some more legitimate businesses. I even found a cool little Squidward stuffie that I purchased. I'll be back one day to check it out again.

As you walk through the store there is a room which often has 90's jams on. This room has more clothing and on the left side there are kids toys and sometimes bikes. It does feel like an estate sale/goodwill outlet vibe as some things are organized but also kinda random. The layout reminds me of a flea market in an another country. Unlike Out of the Closet and Lifelong in which you know the exact price of a record or a vintage binocular here you have to ask. I think this is part of the thrill of the search but also asking yourself how much you want to pay for this. Service is good and staff are chill and laid back. If you're around Lake city I would encourage stopping in. It's a nice refresher from the dated xxx shop next door, drug deals happening outside, and fentanyl slumps you see.

I heard that sales clerks at this store's employment is based on meeting a quote on how many new customer sign up for the company credit card! in this day n age this is highly unacceptable in so many ways. out side the fact that retail stores have high interest rates. Why would anyone want to subject customers and employees to such practice? I will not shop here or any other store that has the same practice read more

While one item was easily located, Abigal struggled to find the second item under the phone number used for the purchase. When I expressed reasonable frustration that a recent purchase couldn't be found, she became highly defensive, accused me of swearing at her (which I did not), and told me to 'calm down' despite my maintaining a normal volume. Once the item was finally found, she proceeded to lecture me about not using my mom's phone number for transactions. When I asked her to please just process the refund and skip the lecture, she repeatedly called me rude to my face and then continued to loudly call me rude to her coworkers as I walked out the door. No other employee intervened. Highly disappointing customer service.

We waited 20 minutes with one person in front of us and several people behind us as well, only to find out the store uses some bizarre "waitlist" system that no one explains and isn't posted anywhere. When the associate finally came over, she called out a random name from a rack of clothes and just stood there waiting for someone who clearly wasn't even in the store to show up to try on clothes. I asked if this was the fitting room line, and she responded with a rude, condescending tone like we were idiots for not magically knowing their hidden process. Everyone around us looked just as confused. Instead of helping customers who were actually present in line, the 2 staff wandered around searching for a nonexistent person while the rest of us wasted our time. Completely disorganized, zero communication, and the attitude from the associate was the final straw. We dropped our items and walked out. This store needs a serious reset in customer service and basic common sense. Honestly, no wonder people just order online or these stores go out of business. We dropped our items and left.

Overall, unimpressed.

But you can also find extremely itself things for your home kitchen! I needed steak knives. I went to multiple household departments of major store chains, only to find that the only knives they sold were either butter knives bundled with full sets of spoons and forks, or big knife blocks for $70+ that also included many other knives that I was not in need of. So I decided to give a restaurant supply shop a shot. $6 later I had 12 absolutely solid restaurant quality steak knives in my possession. My utensil drawer overfloweth. There was no smaller quantity available, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose. The bottom line is that I can now cook and serve steak for 12 PEOPLE without having to wash a single utensil.
