    Do you miss the days when you could walk into a hardware store and talk to someone who'd was familiar with DIY work, or was an expert on the product they were selling? Do you find yourself frustrated at the lowest common denominator of customer service at Lowes or The Home Depot? If so, Clearview True Value Hardware transports you back to a time when a hardware store was more about expertise, know-how, and assisting in getting the job done, and less about a giant store with 200 selections of light bulbs, levels and lumber that nobody on staff can differentiate. Merchandise Quality/Selection: It's amazing what can be packed into a well organized store, and Clearview True Value Hardware is a perfect example of that. There's plenty of hardware, shop tools, garden tools, large tools (axes/shovels/sledges), ladders, fuel, locks, paint/stain, and gloves/masks. I've demoed an entire 2500 square foot house and landscaped it with items out of this store. I'm not entirely sure I couldn't have rebuilt it with items purchased here as well. I can tell you that those tools did some heavy lifting and have continued to hold up. We're talking snow shovels, clippers, axes, prybars, sledgehammers, mallets, the whole nine yards. On top of the usual hardware store items, there are three things that make Clearview True Value a little unique--fantastic propane prices, readily available hay/feed/grain, and BBQ/grill set-up assembly service. Many people from Lake Stevens out to Mill Creek and Woodinville make the drive for simply the propane and/or feed. Ambiance & Service: The Gunns, who own the store have been in business for as long as I can remember, and their passion for the business shows. There's a clear and obvious feeling of a entering a small/helpful community business here, which is the magic that happens when you've got people that care. That attitude extends to the rest of the staff, as I've personally bought stuff from probably everyone who's worked there throughout the last few years. All of them seem knowledgeable, professional, and happy to be there. As mentioned above the store is well organized, and set up in a logical fashion with seasonal items up front (or outside) and a hardware section in the back. In between you'll find aisles that are laid out in a format that lends itself well to the shopper. For example: Large tools are spaced out along the exterior walls for easy comparison. If you've got a task (or two) that you're trying to accomplish, you'll likely be able to grab what you need in one section. Final Thoughts: If you're a 15+ minute drive from the Clearview area, sure, you might be better served going elsewhere for small items, or things you don't need assistance on. For those tasks where you need a helpful hand, the drive out to Clearview is worth considering. For those living in the general vicinity of the store--well, you're in luck, because you've got a local hardware store that will do what they can to make your "honey-do" list shrink a bit with the least amount of pain to your time, patience, and wallet. -AC

    This place is great. People are old school type and very friendly. If you use propane this is the best place in town to buy it.

    I have been a customer at Ace Hardware in Mukilteo for almost 30 years. In that time they almost…read morealways were able to take care of all of my needs as far as my yard and house were concerned...ntil today. I called them to purchase a wheelbarrow and I asked them to deliver it to me, here i. mukilteo. He told me "Oh, we don't deliver outside 3 miles", and suggested I contact "one of our larger stores who have more emplyees." Which steuck me as a bumch of garbage, but I called the Silver Lake store. The lady I talked to was wonderful, and was also a resident of Mukilteo. She couldn't believe what I hD been told. "Let me give them a call for you." I went outside and worked for a little over an hour. No call. I came back in and called Silver Lake again. "They haven't called you yet??" "Nope." "Let me call them again." She called right back to tell me that" when I got the manager and gave him my name, he hung up on me" (!!) So I contacted Ace corporate to lodge a formal complaint. I was put on hold for 20 minutes and was told"I lodged your complaint with the store manager and you should be hearing from him soon." I told him I was mot holding my breath for that call.( that never came.) Meanwhile the gal from Silver Lake called back and offered to deliver from her store for a small fee. I told her "thank you so much for going above and beyond, but I won't give Ace Hardware another nickel of my money."

If I'm displeased, I generally chalk it up to someone having a bad day or, if repeated consistently, I go elsewhere. (Praise should be public, criticism private). I unfortunately don't recall names, but it was pretty much everyone there from floor to register. I had just gotten new plates for my car... just came from DoL after 3rd time trying interstate title transfer. (I'll leave those details to your imagination...) I realized I needed a special tool in order to mount them. I came here because it's super close to work and they'd always been very helpful previously. It appeared a little bit of a reset was happening so things were little disorganized in some regard. Changing seasonal merch and all that fun.) but every one on the floor began to help look for what I needed, then get the different bolts to use and even replaced the bolts so I didn't have to purchase new tools (that I already have, just in storage and inaccessible at the moment). The level of helpful patience was beyond anything expected. Ever. I've worked in various customer service jobs my entire life. I know people can be exhausting. They spent a good 30+ minutes (of course taking turns helping others with the same friendly attitude when they came in) for ultimately a $6 sale. I've been to this Ace numerous times over the past decade or so and always a very good experience and excellent service. This time deserves a special shout out. I hope the crew that day all see this and know how much it meant to me. Thank you. I'd give more stars if I could.

    I don't go anywhere else unless I have to. At McLendon's, employees know their stuff, and often…read moreknow yours, too. If you're doing some weird DIY thing, you can talk about your needs/goals, and they'll often have suggestions for how you might meet that goal. The one in Woodinville is smallish, but they can get anything you need if they don't stock it. I also used them to find me some guys to build my fence! Worked well.

    TL;DR: I was asked to move a heavy flat cart loaded with three long bags of potting soil with a…read morelong shovel to another register. When I said, "I don't want to go to the next register. I want to check out here," no one offered to help. Instead, the cashier at the first register told me I was being rude and then refused to check us out, turning what should have been a routine checkout into an embarrassing public scene that ultimately ended with a manager checking us out. My mother has been shopping at McLendon's in Woodinville for decades and was taken aback by the way we were treated. We had already spent most of the day buying gardening supplies and had loaded and unloaded heavy items before coming to McLendon's for a few more things. We ended up with two carts, including a heavy flat cart carrying three long bags of potting soil with a long shovel balanced across the top. It wasn't just heavy--it was awkward to maneuver, especially around tight corners. At checkout, I was directed to another register. I started to move the cart, but the cashier was facing a different aisle and said he couldn't scan the bags from where he was. It quickly became apparent that I would have to maneuver the cart around a very tight corner by myself while keeping the load balanced. The other option was to back up and come around another way, which would have required moving my mother and her cart. My mother has neuropathy in her feet and is very unsteady, so neither option was practical. The cashier did not offer to help move the cart, reposition himself, or assist with the bags in any way. I went back to the first register and said, "I want to check out here." She again told me I needed to move to the next register. I said, with admittedly some tired exasperation, "I don't want to. I want to check out here." After I said that, the woman at the first register very loudly told me I was being rude. I asked, "Are you going to check us out?" She simply stood there for a time without responding. My mother, who is 80 years old, had been standing there watching the entire interaction. She even said to her, "Isn't the customer always right?" By that point, the exchange had drawn the attention of another customer, who inserted himself into the situation and began insulting me. Finally, after being loudly lectured, the cashier said she would have to get her manager, waved her hands in the air, said, "I can't do this," and left to get him. The volume of her voice and her visible anger quickly drew the attention of several customers, turning what should have been a routine checkout into an embarrassing public scene. The manager ultimately came over and checked us out. He, in stark contrast to her, was very nice. He looked to see if my mom had any coupons on file, then asked another employee to help load the soil into my car. What disappointed me most was how quickly this escalated. If either employee had simply offered to help with the cart, the entire situation could have been resolved in less than a minute. We had two carts that were part of the same purchase--one my mother was pushing and one I was pushing. Instead of asking us to move both carts, it would have been far easier to let the customer behind us proceed to the next register. I understand that stores have procedures, but good customer service also means recognizing when a customer is dealing with heavy, awkward merchandise and offering assistance. I sincerely hope management will use this as an opportunity to remind employees that a calm, solution-oriented approach--and a willingness to help a customer with a heavy load--can make all the difference. 7-6-26 Edit: After taking some time to reflect on what happened, I've updated this review to clarify the sequence of events. My mother remains just as upset as I am about the way we were treated. She would welcome the opportunity to speak with management if they would like to discuss what happened. We would genuinely like to feel comfortable shopping at McLendon's again, but that will depend on how this situation is handled.

The main idea was to kill a bit of time and the hope of maybe seeing some baby chicks even though they are often in these stores on a seasonal basis. Well indeed we did get to see the baby chicks. Many were older at this point and had their own feathers but there were younger furry ones too. The older ones yellow fur was gone but they were still very cute. All different kinds of different chickens here also so quite a nice variety of types. Don't handle them on your own as the signs indicate as a staff member needs to be reached before going further with that. There are lots of other inventory for your agricultural needs and in my mind would be a great place to go to stock up on supplies.
