I was super excited to hear about this new thrift store, especially as I've noticed prices at…read moreDeseret and Goodwill are rising fast. It's a very large store, but it feels very DIY/shabby inside. Items haphazardly thrown up on found shelving, not retail shelving, or anything like that. Kind of like a vintage mall booth. The employees I interacted with were meh. Not outright rude, but not very friendly either. One of them rushed over to me from across the store to admonish me for "stepping over that line" between items for sale and items not-ready for sale. I had not touched one item in the area at all. It was weird. I didn't even realize that area was for processing, because my brain just goes into "look at everything" mode when I'm thrifting, and in 99.9% of thrift stores, the actual selling floor is not used for processing. They weren't mean about it, just had a very elevated sense of urgency that I not touch anything in that area. I apologized and they seemed to back off a little. Like I said, it was weird. I did find a couple glass decor items to purchase and their prices seemed fair. I didn't look at clothes, but shoes and bags were slim pickings the day I was in there. I might check it out again in the future, but there was nothing about it that made me feel like I wanted to come back. Kind of a bummer. Maybe after they've been open longer, they might get more of a sense of organization. In the mean time, I will continue to shop Deseret and Bella's Voice.

I completed a visit to nearby Bank of America, so decided to checkout Magpie Thrift (8/21/25)…read more It's a fairly large space having been a discount or thrift stores in the past. I wandered the entire shop, except for the clothing racks. Nicely laid out, organized, and clean. I ended honing in on a vintage Tupperware set and due to the affixed sticker color, received a great buy. Upbeat service at the checkout counter too. The joy of thrifting is finding the unexpected.

There's usually a line to drop off donations and the donations bay can be closed randomly. I guess…read morethere's not that many places to drop sh*t off so everyone goes here to get rid of their things. Once you get through the line there are people to help you. I don't really go inside.

I happened to finally have a few minutes to check out Thriftology today. I've driven past this…read moreintriguing place several times and today I was on foot and went in. 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.

Good selection of stuff if you know where to look. There is music blasting at the entrance and on…read morethe left side of the shop. It's a little chaotic but I feel it lures the shopper in. 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.

It's a Non-profit and they're doing the best they can with their limited funding, especially in times of federal cuts. Please give to them so they can help the most needy! We make annual donations through our company match to this organization for a reason. They're truly one of the few organizations here doing the most good.
