I discovered this sweet shop a few months ago when doing some Bellingham thrifting with my mom…read more It's in a fairly large space and is so incredibly well organized - one of my #1 requirements in a thrift shop! All of the items were clean, and there wasn't really any "junk" to sift through to find treasures. As always, I started in the kitchen area, where I'm always looking for some interesting bowl, jar, or rare kitchen gadget to add to my collection. Then, I meandered over to the linens, through the furniture, over to clothing, and of course spent a considerable amount of time in their crafting and book area. Their prices were super reasonable, and the staff (who all - or most - appear to be volunteers) were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be adding this to my Bellingham thrift store rotation!

Great brands like J.Jill and Chico's in my larger sizes, well-prepared and tended. My husband found his very favorite shirt in this store, and wears it at least once a week. Carrie has a great sense of what shoppers want, and she is fair in her policies. When I was there last she was frustrated by not having a day off since she couldn't find responsible help. I sure hope this is worked out, since she is the heart and soul of this place and it wouldn't be the same without her kindness, patience and personal touch. The clothes are clearly a cut above her competition!

However that being said, a few member of their staff are literally just so rude it makes me never want to return because of how unpleasant they have been. And not only have I experienced this behavior, but I've also just seen the way they speak to other customers who are only just asking basic questions about items or just general information and are met with condescending and just flat out rude responses-acting so annoyed and surprised that someone would dare to speak to them or god forbid ask them to do their job. Once again, I love searching through the items the store has to offer, and it is quite an impressive array. However some of the employees could seriously use some help with learning some basic customer service skills and maybe pull out whatever is stuck so far up their butt.

Such a unique thrift store…read more The Exchange is located on Orcas Island. It's not far from the ferry drop off, and an easy pitstop when your driving towards East Sound. This warehouse is filled with two-stories of second-hand goodies from the island. You'll find a large selection of kitchen gear, board games, winter items, and lightly-used treasures. They've done a great job separating each of the spaces, making individualized rooms and isles to showcase different categories of goods. There's a large space upstairs for all their outdoor and sports gear. I even saw a number of skis, boots, poles, and jackets that instantly caught my attention! The team here is incredibly kind and will help you hunt through their many isles for the perfect find.

And just as happy when they announced they'd found a new space and were planning to reopen. I have to say, having visited there a few times now, I'm pretty disappointed. The new space is still downtown, but a few blocks west of their previous location. Where parking was free at that spot, it's metered at this one. When I think of all the vacant retail spaces in town, many with parking lots or at least free street parking, it leaves me perplexed. And the new space itself is so incredibly small and disjointed. It's separated into multiple, small rooms. Their inventory is but a shadow of its former self. And the prices have gone up. Wayyyy up. Perhaps most perplexing is the complete lack of classroom space, which they'd gone to so much trouble to add in their own space. Combined all of this with semi-surly, N95'd employees and well... to put it simply...I don't see the appeal in returning here anytime soon. For now, I miss the old Ragfinery and hope they turn things around.
