We just finished hockey and wanted to hit up some local thrift, vintage, shops. So when we arrived, they were closed. We walked to a nearby thrift store then came back. We were immediately intrigued by the stores ambiance. It was set up really cute, total vintage, and clean. Many things caught our eyes, and we scattered all giddy, but the elder behind the counter kept staring at us, NONE STOP. Like we were stealing from her. Which made it awkward. So we didn't stay long. Then she got very flustered, that I wanted to pay 1/2 cash, 1/2 card. I stood there quietly. To the point I was like, just keep the clothes. It's ok, but we really liked what we were buying. Many things are over priced, as many "vintage" stores are. (Ex. A "very" used pair of Converse Chucks were $45). You gotta really shop for the diamond in the rough, but it's absolutely worth it. They had a nice selection of attire, we would've purchased more. However, not finding much clothing under $40, and I was shopping with two teenagers. It was a tad outta our price range.

Hmm let's see ... the best Pendleton coat ever (and big enough for me!) at her Fremont Sunday…read moreMarket stand, cartoon nostalgia at her Tacoma shop, an unbeatable selection of Christmas sweaters when that season rolls around, and extremely affordable prices all around. It'd be tough to improve on anything at Pure. There are people who get in the business of hawking vintage stuff because it's trendy or a quick buck, and then there are people who know the business deeply because they love it. Jordan is firmly in the latter camp; her little shop on "I" St. (across from Tacoma Little Theatre) was her family shop for ages, and the newer, more expansive one (attached to Kings Books) allows plenty of room to roam. (It also feels really clean, unlike some vintage stores I've browsed.) With different stuff in the store vs. at the year-round weekly market vs. in the Etsy shop, you can have a whole lot of fun browsing here. And when you find the winners for you, it won't break the bank to hug them all up (Tiny Toons/Elmira-style) and bring them home with you. Enjoy!

First time going to the thrift store today and was very impressed by not only the selection and…read morefair prices, but also the friendliness of the staff. Purchased quite a few books and a few odd and ends. Definitely will be returning to see what they have next. They had a wonderful selection of books and clothing. Also, I noticed a sizable collection of houseware items as well.

This place has a solid name and despite reviews being inconsistent, we decided to stop…read more Immediately, we were shocked. For some reason we were convinced that this place would be the size of a Goodwill, but when we entered, it was about the size of a 7-11. I know it sounds weird, but there was a sadness in this place. The people working had no joy and they appeared disappointed when we didn't buy anything. The prices here were exactly what you would expect to pay. My only and only issue with this place was selection. Had it been larger, I'm sure we would have found some treasure. I really like supporting places like this and they get extra points for having a house dog. Unfortunately, they just didn't have anything unique or collection to me.

I…read morehave to say, I am never disappointed and usually end up leaving with too many things that I just couldn't live without! A few of my favorites are the macrame air plant hangings, the AWESOME selection of candles (I am a candle hoarder), the perfume and soaps, and the selection of TOMS shoes (I have seen styles here that I haven't found anywhere else). I have never had a bad experience customer service wise - the sales associates are always welcoming. It's a good thing I don't live in the North End because if I did, my house would be furnished with their home goods and my wallet would be empty. Keep doing what you're doing, Evolve!!!

I stopped in to pick up some Annie Sloan chalk paint for a few projects I had going on and could have left with much more if I wasn't in such a rush.

Staff on 12/4 after 5pm did not even attempt to be welcoming or helpful. I came into the store and…read moresaid hello and literally neither worker said anything. At first I thought maybe I made a mistake and they worked there because they were trying on clothes. Nope they work there. I was there 20 minutes before two additional customers came in. Seems like the other customers may know the workers or be regulars because they all of a sudden became super chatty. I decided not to buy because I couldn't justify spending the amount I had in my hand with such poor service. Especially as the items required some work. Was hoping to find some good vintage shops in Tacoma but no luck with this one. ** edit: it was a female working the register.

We stumbled upon Trudie's on a rainy Saturday evening when most of the other small thrift shops had…read moreclosed, and had the place to ourselves while we shopped. It's a medium-sized store with a fairly small selection of men's and women's clothes, kids' clothing and toys, furniture, and housewares. The store is clean and well-maintained, and prices seemed reasonable from what we saw. The staff were friendly, greeting us when we walked in and asking if we needed help with anything, but we were happy to browse on our own. Too bad we didn't end up finding anything we wanted to buy - it would have been nice to support this little place. Overall, it's worth a stop if you're in the area doing the thrift and vintage circuit.

4 stars for value. They have different deals depending on the day of the week. We went on Thursday…read morewhich was 50% off day. I was impressed with the denim selection. I found brands such as Madewell, J. Crew, American Eagle, Hollister and Abercrombie each tagged at around $8.99 (minus 50%!). I paid $20 for 3 hats (Rainiers and Mariners), jeans and a skirt for my daughter plus, the best deal, Paige jeans which came out to be $4! Pros: Clothing was organized into type and color which makes it easy to sort through. Cons: Location is kind of sketch. Items sold as is so it isn't always clean. Go on a Thursday if you love the value and the hunt! Bonus- If you bring your receipt on Sunday it's 75% off your purchase.

Thrift City like many stores of this sort... at least for me it's a matter of timing to see if…read morethere is anything that is going to catch my eye to purchase. I did get a button down shirt here of a tropical design that I have taken a serious hankering to. I wear it once a week. But usually my timing and my pickiness usually are the dominating factors in the situation and I don't usually wind up purchasing anything at all. So definitely check back frequently is my guess if you are this type of shopper like me to eventually get the timing right at some point. Steve on the other hand isn't picky and he often makes purchases here. So I guess it depends what you are looking for. Other shoppers often make a real haul here when it comes to check out time and the prices aren't bad at all. There is a decent sized clothing section for men and women as well as books, DVD's and more. If my libraries weren't so vast at home I'm sure I'd pick up a few from time to time. But again. Picky.
