Silverdale Goodwill

Parking sucks due to too little parking & tiny parking slots. Otherwise shopping was great. Very large store full of people. 3rd goodwill of the day & didn't finish looking at everything but spent lots of money anyway.

THIS STORE IS A JOKE!. I’m moving to another state and made several trips to this store and was turned away twice from donating a new Ikea table because it was dusty, a new condition oak hope chest because it had a scratch on it, and several other great items because they were not freshly clean of dust or did not appear factory new. Then I went inside and looked at the prices they are charging and realized why. This isn’t a thrift store anymore it’s another business trying to make a buck. Save your money and shop/donate at actual thrift stores, churches, community centers that are trying to help the disadvantaged.

This is a pretty good Goodwill location. As with all of these stores, the selection of items will always vary. Prices are ok at best, some items are definitely over priced but most are not. The store is always reasonably clean and the staff are usually pretty helpful and nice! Not a bad location overall.

Before Covid I shopped at our local Goodwill stores few times a year. The pandemic hit, and I hadn't been back (other than to donate) to either one of our local stores until a few days ago when I decided to stop and go into the Silverdale Goodwill. Walking into the store was no different than walking in this time two years ago. Second-hand Halloween items adorned the entryway. Some things look like the handy work of someone, other items older, well-used, even dated-looking stuff, but if you dig deep enough, there are always a couple of really intriguing things that have been well cared for and quite the deal. Also, further into the store, they do offer other Halloween items new and used as well. The musty, stale smell can sometimes be overwhelming; obviously, this is due to the many "used" items, and it's to my understanding that they cannot launder the clothing themselves. I have not verified this information, just what was told to me by a former employee. Like all Goodwills, They offer many items, books, clothes, shoes, jewelry, purses, kitchen items, curtains, towels, toys, sewing items, electronics, tools, pet items, and often a small assortment of furniture, pictures, and tons of knick-knacks. I would be lying if I said I have never purchased anything from the Goodwill stores. I have found a few fabulous tops and winter coats, with price/store tags still attached, some beautiful teacups and saucers, decorative plates, and some fascinating crystal ware. And after doing research, all of these items were worth a lot more money than what I paid. The beauty of buying items from Goodwill is that things are repurposed and not landing in the landfills, which means preserving our earth; someone's trash is someone else's treasure. Goodwill is a non-profit organization that prides itself in job training and placement, especially for people with difficulties finding work. Also, Goodwill has sales throughout the month and usually offers a color-coded flyer as you first enter the store. Generally, what I could tell was the store appeared clean; some of their departs aren't very organized and messy like the dishes and kitchenware, but things come and go quickly. People come and go fast, so I would imagine it would not be easy keeping items like that perfectly organized. Everyone I have encountered at the Silverdale, Washington's Goodwill, has been friendly and polite! Parking at the Goodwill is sometimes a challenge, although there are quite a few parking spaces; if you don't arrive as they open, you may find parking hit and miss. However, for that said, you can park at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Goodwill is a stand-alone building; neighboring stores within walking distance are Bed, Bath & Beyond, and Trader Joe's. Goodwill's location is across the street (Mickleberry Road) from Costco. "This is a great time to support local jobs, find a treasure or two, and help a worthy non-profit organization. Please be kind to ALL living things."
