It's all a tad overwhelming. You might want to snap some pictures on your phone in the various…read moreareas in the warehouses and the yard instead of trying to rely on just "brain inventory". Just the amount of things to try and take in is staggering. All sorts of sizes of wood, but also trappings that have come out former schools and hospitals and you normally might not find. Just one note to be extra careful roaming the property. There are a lot of edges sticking out and watch for sharp objects (i.e. nails) on the ground. I probably would not bring a child in tow. In addition to building materials, there were quite a few quirky items for sale and you never know what's going to be around any corner. Maybe something you need, or, you might find an unexpected treasure. When we visited the hours were rather limited: Saturday 9am - 2pm, so you might want to check the website before heading over.

I was up in the Ham recently helping a friend find a used door for a project, and we decided to…read morecheck out the Reuse Center. Located in a couple of buildings where Britton Rd. meets the Mt. Baker Highway, this large "store" is more like a junkyard full of salvaged building parts and treasures of all kinds. If you're into upcycling, re-cycling, and salvaging this is definitely the place to come! Their selection is unmatched, easily beating out other local salvage stores both in selection of building materials and price. And the owner is super nice and helpful. He truly has a passion for the business and the movement, and it shows! And wandering this property is like visiting a museum - with parts and pieces of recognizable area schools and other demolished buildings, that the Reuse Center clearly, painstakingly took apart, categorized, and stores on its property. Where I struggled, though, was with the unsafe feeling of the property - most notably the dusty, musty large garage/warehouse where much of the wood products are stored. There is a LOT of stuff in here. The aisles are very narrow and all sorts of building materials are stacked high. I know this type of store is never going to be "pretty" like a Home Depot or anything, and I totally get that. But it just didn't feel safe in there, with only one entrance/exit, confusing pathways, and LOTS of combustible materials. I felt relieved when we found what we were looking for and were safely back outside. There's also a cram-packed separate garage area with thrift store type finds, though it was very haphazardly arranged and the items were slightly interesting, again with super narrow aisles that were hard to navigate. The outdoor salvage yard area is full of all things interesting, lots of metal, and would be a fun place to find things if you were super creative with used materials. A lot of it was pretty junky, though, and looked unusable. I can see this spot being a place I would go again if I couldn't find my used/salvaged materials at another location. We did end up finding a door, and at a very good price, so I can't fault them for that. Maybe if they were able to get rid of some of their inventory, it would be a more fun place to shop at.
