Deseret Industries is thift store that stands out in a few ways from your Goodwill's and Value…read moreVillages out there but isn't quite like the rugged ones you'd perhaps see in Capitol Hill. Immediately what sticks out to me about Deseret is how clean and well kept up it is. Goodwill especially is notorious for this where at many of them it seems like a gust of wind blew through the aisles and things are scattered all over the place and picked over. To be fair certain sections such as the toys and the otherwise 'brick-a-brack' sections do look like this here and other places, but at least it looks like here at Deseret they have people that come and try to neaten it up or zone it. Another thing about Deseret that's unique and I like is with the piles of shirts I'm sure they get, they try to color code them and hang them so if you're looking for that certain color you can simple walk over and sift through shades of yellow or green t-shirts for example as they're hung up and separated from the rest of the assorted t-shirts. The store seems to be decently staffed and seems evident by how clean it generally is here. From what I understand they hire people of less means or recently released offenders for work which is nice. My company actually has one of our clients volunteer here so I appreciate them for that. The one flaw I've found here is the shoe section is not well presented. You have to "eyeball" the shoes for size as there isn't a tag or other easily identifier of size on them. They also seem to pretty much be mixed - womens, mens, baby, child... it could use improvement. I've visited Deseret a few times and although I've yet to score any nice finds here, I do enjoy the ease of browsing here and the prices are surprisingly decent considered the spike in many thrift stores inventory in favor of profits. If you too are a thrifter, stop in for a look.

Since my last review, things at this store have gotten worse. On a lot of levels. There are tons of…read morepeople who full on run, sprint and power walk (which is not walking) upon the doors opening each morning at 9am sharp. The managers say to everyone "please do not run, walk only, be kind to others, blah blah blah" yet the stand there at the door and the registers and let them do what thy just loudly asked them NOT to do. I don't understand how anyone runs in this establishment. There are no emergency situations like earthquakes, power outages or fires that warrant running at any time of being in the store. People are going to get hurt! One of these people is a young college child, his name is John. He runs every day to get to the piles of music cd's on the shelves so he can find the high dollar ones to re-sell on ebay and amazon. He used to be a high school track star and has almost twice fallen down taking a corner too sharp. Yet the managers don't say a word to him to slow down, or kick him out for 5 or 7 days like they do to others in the store who constantly are always pushing, shoving others, or being rude and obnoxious. This young child John, 2 days ago as I went to grab some cd's came right across my whole hand and knocked them out of my hand and tried to pick them up as if to steal them from me! I told him to back off and if he ever touches me again that I would put him on the ground as self defense. He rudely badmouthed me and told me "too bad so sad". The very next day, he did it again but this time he tried to take the 4 cd's I had just grabbed to look at right out of my hands! I bit my tongue, but on my way out I pulled aside one of the managers who I thought would listen and try to do something about. He told me the next day (today) there would be a manager at the front door to confront and talk to him as he entered as well as another manager in the back to make sure he wasn't bothering others. Well neither thing happened and this knucklehead just sprinted in the store again and right by the manager 5 feet from the cd's and she didn't say anything to him or the others who were on a full on running sprint marathon to pick the aisles clean of the new items put out overnight. Korenna and Ingrid are the only female managers at this store. Barry, Nate, Joe and Joel are the male managers. Joe is quite honestly the only one who listens to customer complaints and sticks to what he says. This review along with another letter is going to be written to the LDS Mormon President as well as the Washington State Labor & Industries department.

I am a white male (71 years old) living in my own home in Northeast Seattle, not far from a…read moreGoodwill store. I arrived in the U.S. from Europe 35 years ago. After 33 years of work, I retired. I rarely visit Goodwill--probably about once every one or two months, usually on Sundays. I buy my clothes and shoes at Costco or on Amazon, where they are actually even cheaper than at Goodwill. Due to my former profession, I suffer from arthritis in both hands; both of my thumbs are quite painful. I find it easier to shop using a handheld basket rather than a shopping cart. Goodwill, however, does not provide handheld baskets--only carts. Whenever I went to Goodwill, I would typically bring along a small plastic bag to hold the items I intended to purchase, and I always paid for everything at the checkout counter. (At Costco, I usually shop with my wife, who pushes the cart.) This had been my routine for the past two years, ever since the arthritis developed in my fingers and I never encountered any issues with it until a new security guard appeared at this particular Goodwill store, a short Black man (who appeared to be an immigrant from North Africa). He noticed the plastic bag I was carrying and summoned the store manager. (This took place around late December 2025, on a Monday.) I do not know what the security guard said to the manager, but the manager approached me, I was in the electronics section at the time and looked inside my plastic bag, which contained two items, each priced at $1.99. The manager (a tall white man) removed the two items from the bag and instructed me to leave the store. I was baffled as to why; he did not accuse me of shoplifting, he simply told me to leave the premises and not to return to this Goodwill store for a period of one year. He offered no explanation for his actions. I certainly do not look like a homeless person; in fact, my clothing was visibly nicer than the manager's own attire. I suspect the security guard probably told him that I was a thief, even though he had absolutely no grounds to do so. I visited this Goodwill a second time six months later--on Sunday, May 17th. I didn't have a plastic bag; I was simply holding three small items in my hands and got in line at the checkout to pay for my purchases. That same security guard spotted me and demanded that I leave the store. I asked, "Why?" He replied that I was a thief and was not allowed to come there. I had been inside Goodwill for about an hour, and he hadn't stopped me when I first entered. I told him that I was standing in line and intended to buy the items I was holding. He made a phone call, brought over a store employee, and instructed all the cashiers not to serve me. In front of everyone, he began accusing me of shoplifting. Never in my entire life have I been insulted or humiliated like this. I took out my wallet and showed him my driver's license, Medicare card, cash, and several credit cards; I swore--more than ten times--that I had never stolen anything in my life. Yet the security guard continued to insist that I was a thief and demanded that I leave the store. As I was leaving, I asked the security guard to tell me his name. He refused and said that he had taken a picture of my license plate number. I am seeking a response from the Goodwill administration regarding the wrongful actions and insults committed by their security guard.

This sale has been going on since 1950. The parents association drives planning and work all year…read moreround. The sale is held in 3 buildings on the Lakeside campus. For two days, items are discounted and treasures can be found. Parking is hard to come by. However, if you park at the 145th park and ride, they have a shuttle on Saturday (I'm not sure about Sunday). For furniture pick up, they will let you into the lot to pull up to the doors to make for easy loading and unloading. I saw tons of volunteers and they were all very nice. They were easily identifiable with aprons and were organized pretty well. Food was available from two food trucks and a concession stand run by students. I found great deals in the electronics room including 2 camera lenses, a computer monitor, and 2 robotic dogs for my little guy. At $26 for everything, I got a great deal! I bought a Columbia fleece, Quiksilver pants, and basketball warm ups for my kiddo at the whopping price of $3 for everything. I got tons of kitchen stuff for my sibling that just got a new apartment as well as old school Tupperware, gadgets, and a pruning saw for $13. I spent 5 hours here shopping. If you shop in the morning, you get a $5 off coupon that you can use between 2pm and 4pm. Overall, the prices were very reasonable and I had a great time. On Sunday, you buy a bag (small for $6 or garbage bag for $20) and stuff it full. Electronics and Best of Show items are half price and you can't use the bag on them. 4-stars primarily for the parking situation and the fact that they want you to eat so you will continue to shop but fail to give you anywhere to sit down. This was an issue because of the amount of rain we had that day.

AM I AT ROSS??? 3/5…read moreStars I totally understand that a rummage sale wouldn't have the best quality things nor will it have brand new things, but a lot of their items for sale costed way too much. If I was going to pay $10 for a used T-shirt, I could go to Ross and buy a brand new one. Used plates were $5, Ross would be brand new for $5. I'm trying this at that the prices are way over priced. I understand it's all for charity, but the donated items should be sold for a little less. The reason why it wasn't a 1/5 Stars is due to the fact that the last day there are sales. It was 50% off majority of the things and by the end of the day, everything. I was able to find lots of vintage cameras and film for an amazing deal. I would suggest everyone to check out the electronic side because they have the best prices for awesome items. The clothes and everything else isn't worth it until it goes on the half of deal. I would still come back to browse for stuff and definitely check out the electronic section again. As for clothes or home decor, bring your money!!!! It's good that they accept cash and cards!

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.

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.

I like that they have mostly higher-quality items which are always clean and usually scent-free. (I can't shop at stores like Goodwill anymore since everything seems to be sprayed with something which leaves a scent.) I am very knowledgeable about different brands and what their retail costs are, and for the time that I have been going to the store (mid-2020), they have priced their items perfectly (and at a small fraction of their retail costs). I have found the prices to be extremely competitive and accurate! (I can't say the same about another charity thrift store in the county that does overprice and misprice--but never here.) I have also found them to have an outstanding manager, staff, and volunteers.
