University District Goodwill

I live near the Ballard Goodwill, but I've stopped donating there because it takes so long. I was trying to find another Goodwill that would take my furniture donations, and a really nice employee at the University District Goodwill told me they'd take smaller items, since it's a small store. When I arrived, a different employee kindly helped me unload my car, which I was lucky enough to be able to park right in front. There's no guarantee those parking spots will always be available (it doesn't have Ballard's parking), but I think this will be my go-to donation spot from now on. Thank you to the two employees for their great customer service.

Good for a browse any time you've got a few extra minutes. Not a huge store but good selection of basic home needs, clothing, arts & crafts, and seasonal stuff like costumes.

Wow! The most unfriendly, unhelpful people working here, they'd just as well not have you come in at all. Well, News Flash-you have a Job because people come in and buy things! It's very small, mostly clothes, which seems unnecessary since there are at least two other thrift or vintage clothing stores right next to this store. And their prices are way high. Don't waste your time! If you're up for a 15 minute drive, The Salvation Army Thrift Store in Shoreline is really great, good prices, helpful friendly team, and they usually have 50% off everything in the store the last weekend of each month!

Pretty good selection, clean. Organization is a little strange, seems to be organized with "better quality" items in some areas but it is inconsistent. Staff is helpful and you can try on clothes in the back. I know its for charity, but prices are pretty high, sometimes more expensive than what it would be new. I feel like they are trying to match prices of the nearby consignment shops who have a different model of buying clothes from customers.
