Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette

Pam Louie

Always friendly and helpful staff especially long time employee Sam Cannon. He always makes time to greet us with a smile as he works hard putting merchandise on the shelves or cashiering at the front. He helps us find things since the merchandise changes daily. The other staff are all great.I just don’t know all their names. We like the color tag sales and Senior Day discount.

It smells like cancer inside. Thousands of molding things all dirty and germy together. The products are mostly legit though. Goodwill gets you when you give them your old stuff. From then on, it's like your a part owner. So once you go in you feel like everything's a good deal inside. And it mostly is, but not always. Sometimes you can find new stuff for less online. Whoever checks in the clothes writes on the tags with a sharpie, and if there's no tag, they just write on the inside of the shirt. I have a hard time feeling like anything is clean in there. Fun place for vintage products. If it was once sold, then Goodwill might re-sell it. The staff are nice, it is the busiest store on the weekends. I mean lots and lots of casual shoppers taking a look at the used finds. I believe in being environmentally friendly and as sustainable as possible, shopping for used is usually a great way to do that, just make sure you clean whatever you buy once you get home :-/

I frequented this store for years and have lately been avoiding it because the resellers that park themselves here are super irritating and intrusive. The same people hang out here all day in the furniture section (and I have tried going at different times, they are always there!), they aggressively attack the carts the second they are wheeled out, basically pushing people out of their way and blocking the isles, grabbing anything that might have value to resell. The employees are very nice, but I wish something could be done about these people that make it unpleasant for other shoppers.

This Goodwill is one of my favorites: clean, spacious, large selection, and mostly organized (better in the morning or when crowds are low). There are a lot of treasures in this one, seems to run through stock quite quickly so I always feel like it’s worth revisiting! The quality of many items is top notch as well; only missed a star due to the small number of dressing rooms and higher prices than I’m used to seeing at a Goodwill. Can’t argue that the clothes themselves are nicer though! It might take a lot of rummaging since the options are many, but the gems I found here will keep me coming back.
