This thrift store is not for everyone! Half the time, it's not even for me. But we stop here…read moresometimes when we're in the area because it is weird and cheap and every now and then it has some bargains. OK, so first off, the store is not nice inside, and it is basically whatever temperature it is outside, so often that's not very comfortable. It's pretty dingy inside, with dusty, packed shelves that look like they're about to fall over. The right half of the store is clothing, and the left half of the store is... everything else: shoes, glassware, knick-knacks, office supplies, ancient travel-size soap bars, whatever. Oh, and it's kind of smelly. Some stuff has price tags, but a lot of it doesn't. There are a few signs on the wall giving prices by type of clothing, but a lot of the time I end up going to ask what the price is. The quality varies widely - some stuff is pretty used and ratty, and some stuff still has crossed-out Goodwill tags on it, so you know he gets part of his inventory from the Goodwill bins. Customer service is pretty minimal, and there are no returns. So why do I even bother coming here?? Trust me, I ask myself that too. It's just a fascinatingly random assortment of stuff, and every now and then you do find something good. If you're the kind of thrifter who likes pawing through random old junk, you'll enjoy the bizarre garage-sale feel of this place. Definitely not in my top-tier list of Tacoma thrifts, but it is weird and interesting.

I've been coming to this thrift store for years, and honestly, it's sad to see the direction it's…read moregoing. Thrifting used to be about the thrill of the hunt. You could find something unique, useful, or even extraordinary for a fair price. That was the whole point. Lately, it feels like that spirit is being replaced by Google Lens pricing and trying to squeeze every possible dollar out of donated items. These items are donated for free. They're not retail inventory bought at wholesale. Pricing things based on what someone online might ask for them takes away what made this place special in the first place. What bothers me even more is that this store is on a military post. A place like this should be helping support service members, spouses, and families, not making them feel priced out of donated goods. Military families already deal with enough, and thrift stores like this are supposed to be a resource, not another overpriced shop. I'm not saying everything should be dirt cheap, and I understand prices go up. But the recent increases feel drastic and out of touch. It feels like the store has lost its way and forgotten the community it's supposed to serve. I really hope management reconsiders this direction and brings back fair, reasonable thrift pricing. This used to be a great place. I'd love to see it become that again.

I think I was in here for an hour and a half. An hour more than I expected. I think I literally went through the whole place to make sure I came out with everything I wanted and I wanted to do it twice. But I have to come back to get more things haha. The workers/volunteers are great people. They have soooo many items, there's no way you won't find something you like. One thing that kinda sucks though is the consignments. Some things are just a little pricey. But you'll definitely find things that are worth it or you just must have! They take debit, credit and cash!

It is a nice place to go. Most employees are volunteers. The price wasn't that good because most…read morepart of the store is for consignment items. People are greedy, they want the most price for their junk. I found a used pot that sell for 14$ and later on found the same one except brand new in Wal mart for 12.99$.

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.

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!

Maybe they were open and they just looked closed. It's hard to say. We finally made it here when we went to the Tacoma Art Walk event on 6th Ave. It was a lot of fun and then finally getting a chance to go into Good Vibes made the experience all the more complete. Most of the clothing inventory appeared to be for the ladies and there didn't look to be much for guys but I think there was a few t-shirts for sake that would work. The inventory they did have was super quirky and a lot of fun. A nice selection of dresses and tops. Fun place overall and if you are into vintage clothing stores definitely pay this one a visit!
