Somewhat ambiguous experience. We are not pro hobbyists so not sure how it compares. The selection…read morewas inconsistent which just means they have a certain focus - on Japanese models and on recreating landscapes and tracks and trails and what not for cars or trains. Very cool selection for those 2 things. And it happens we WERE there for Japanese models so we were perfectly happy. Large selection of model-making supplies. Definitely would go here before we order supplies online in the future. Yes, the greeting was half-hearted - but both people there did greet us and what do you expect - they were busy talking about hobby stuff :) It's a bit dated in terms of the space, seems a bit tired, but I think "in this economy" they are presenting themselves reasonably. They had some great sales. Half off prices of some model kits right now.

The prices here aren't bad at all either. The employees are very friendly too. In fact, the only reason why i rated 4 stars vs. 5 is because of the time in which you can shop here, being open for only 4hrs a day and closed Sunday-Monday. Other than that though, I absolutely loved this shop. I will most definitely come back in the near and far future for models and related products alike!

Jill does not belong in customer service…read more When I went to check out there were two people in line at each of their two registers. Gal in front of me had a price check which Jill acted like was a huge inconvenience to come over and do. The other register was dealing with a return with no receipt which the cashier couldn't handle and Jill was too annoyed to stick around and resolve. She was too stressed by the patient gal waiting for someone to help her find a product. By the time I got to check out, Miranda, the cashier, looked about ready to cry from secondhand stress. One of my items didn't have a price tag so... price check. And guess who looked thrilled about it. And gave the COMPLETE wrong price. I had grabbed one of their 99¢ bandanas and she said $6.99. I just chose not to buy that rather than argue because it wasn't worth talking to Jill. Miranda was great and very apologetic but I honestly felt bad leaving her with that kind of individual manning that area. Took about ten minutes to get through checkout and Jill was still ignoring the return issue but thankfully that poor cashier was able to get another manager over who looked pretty annoyed with Jill's inaction so I feel like this is a known issue. I hate to imagine what Jill would act like with an actually angry customer if this is how she behaved with patient folks experiencing minor issues.

I often use Smooth-On products, and with Reynolds I can count on the products being well within the shelf date, so that they will be usable even if I don't use them immediately.

Very helpful, informative and experienced staff who are willing to share. I would very much, recommend this store to everyone in the area looking to learn more about these products.

I am new customer for life. Hope this review helps someone out. Good luck on your next project.

I went here to get some beading supplies and I found what I needed pretty quickly. The prices are…read morereasonable and there were several options to choose from. There was only one cashier but there were self-checkout machines so I was able to check out pretty quickly. I did come back to pick up an online order since I got a discount from ordering online. One of the employees asked me for my last name then told me to look at the pickup section to find my order. I did find that odd and a little less secure than I would like. That means anyone could have come in the store and looked at the last names on the pickup bags and told the employees that it's their order. Nonetheless, it has been a pretty seamless experience going to this store. I would def order from them again since the prices and options are reasonable.

Tried again, this time I just sent my husband to store to buy, it said they had three of the item. He came home with two that were the wrong blade.

Before I send my husband back I call to ask someone to check and the person I spoke to said online is never accurate, I said that's ok but please just check shelf before I send my husband. He refused. Called another store twice as far from my house but they were pleasant and helpful. I will never shop at the Southcenter Michael's again, I would rather drive to another store for sure.

Whether you're a rockhound or a jewelry lover, or you just need a souvenir, there are lots of options here at all price points. For gem and mineral lovers, they have some pretty nice color-coordinated displays of specimens and jewelry. From amethyst to larimar, malachite to labradorite, and even diamond slices, there are some nice crystals, cabochons, and spheres to drool over. Many of the bigger pieces seem too expensive and/or fragile for travelers, but I suppose if you've got $1,300 to drop on a fluorite sphere, you can afford to have it shipped. Other inexpensive jewelry options include the gemstone stacking rings in a display case by the door ($35), semiprecious stone post earrings by the register ($10-15), and locally made wood slice earrings by an artist in Edmonds. For kids, there are some fun items like small soapstone animal carvings (under $5), books, inexpensive mineral specimens, and fossil kits. I wasn't too impressed by the service here -- it was pretty early in the morning during my visit, and I was the only customer for most of that time, but the two employees stayed at the counter talking to each other about personal stuff and ignored me. Since I was mostly just browsing, it wasn't that big of a deal, but it seems like they should at least make the effort to greet customers when they walk in. Overall, a nicely organized and displayed gift shop with lots of sparkly gems to ooh and ahh over while you're waiting in the airport. A good place to pick up a last-minute gift that doesn't feel like one!

The thing I didn't like was that some of the cards had these sleeves that were causing the cards to curve, which kinda messes the quality of it. The prices of the cards seem fairer compared to other card shops. The service was good. The employee was helpful and knowledgeable about any questions I had.
