About This Store
Shopping at Goodwill Stores Seattle
Ballard Goodwill is one of the well-known Seattle Goodwill Stores that locals turn to for thrift shopping. As part of the larger Goodwill chain, this location carries the brand’s reputation for supporting job training and community programs through every purchase. It’s a place where you can expect a steady flow of used clothing, vintage pieces, and a wide variety of household items. If you enjoy digging through racks of secondhand clothes or hunting for affordable furniture, this store is worth the visit.
The selection here is pretty diverse. You’ll find everything from casual wear to business attire, often with some vintage styles mixed in. Beyond clothing, Ballard Goodwill also stocks housewares, books, and small furniture pieces. It’s the kind of spot where you can pick up a lamp, a set of dishes, or a couple of novels alongside a thrifted jacket or handbag. The constant turnover means each trip can bring different surprises, which keeps the Seattle thrift shopping experience fresh and exciting.
Seattle Goodwill Stores like this one stand out because of their size and organization compared to smaller independent thrift shops.

As far as thrift stores go, this is a great one. I went on a rainy Sunday afternoon and it was quite busy. But I was impressed by how organized the shelves were and by the quality of the items. Relatively few things were total junk. They also had a nice mix of very cheap household items ($1-6 range) and items of high quality at somewhat higher prices (think: modern dresser in good condition for $35 or a brand new hard sided suitcase for $25). Overall I would recommend this store.

Great for kitchenware items including pots, pans (all sizes and styles including cast iron), dishware, flatware, knives, cutting boards, all sorts of baking stuff, containers like glass food containers etc etc. There is a lot of clothes and footwear, books, not great for furniture or stuff is pretty beat up, etc etc The cashier said they are the store in evergreen goodwills that get the most donations.

This one of the only thrift stores left in the area. With that comes pros and cons: Pro - lots of options, new things almost hourly Con - it’s an absolute mess, almost impossible to shop, busy

Set my cart to the side of an aisle to look at the DVD section which is a narrow corridor. I usually enjoy parsing through the used DVDs at Goodwill. Had a few items in my cart that it took me awhile to find and that I really liked. When I came back my cart was gone. Asked a cashier about it. She got help from another associate. He said they put items in carts back in 30 minutes if they are stationery for that long. Didn’t know this rule, there are no signs indicating this rule. I was a little surprised because there’s lots of carts out all the time at Goodwill. Obviously it was going to take awhile for the things I picked up to be back on the shelves again, so I left. Waste of 2 hours. I know the store associate was just doing their job and I know retail is a busy job, but you could have been more considerate of me and the things I picked out.
