Value Village

Great Value Village Location With An Insanely Huge Selection of Clothes!!! Fast, Friendly Sales Associates

Meh, not really a fan of this location. It seems convenient with wal-​mart right beside it but probably why it is picked over. Never have any luck at this location.

There’s always something cool on their shelves/​racks. When I end up going on a whim I usually leave with a cart load of stuff — clothes, crafts items, the occasional bit of furniture… and if you’re in their card club, they email you about new deals every week. Items are generally clean and the staff is friendly.

I simply love thrift stores and this one is just soo nice. Very organized, super clean, great helpful staff and great merchandise. I strongly recommend this store.

The store looks little more organized and the varieties of the stuff are not bad if compared to other thrift stores. Prices however, are horrible! I travel to Bellingham for work from time to time and their prices in V V are MUCH lower! Also, I’d like to mention this manager that works in Lynnwood’s location. This woman, I think her name is Lisa, is not only at the lowest on her customer service skills, she is mentally challenged as well, or at least she’s acting like that! She is beyond rude! Whenever you try to make a conversation with her (I had few) she looks and acts like she’s about to have mental melt down — she’s so angry! Once I needed to ask her something (I had issues with emails from V V) she answered in very condescending way, and made me feel like it was my fault that their emails arrive too late! When I asked if anyone else complained about the same problem, she answered «uh-​uh!!! Never!!! «Another employee (young man) who was standing by, told me that yes! In fact it was the issue that MANY customers complained about lately! Looks like Lisa is a liar too!

I usually love this store and have a great experience. I always find great things for great prices. This experience wasn’t so delightful. The cashier was extremely rude and I almost felt like she was on drugs. She threw my change at me and kept twitching alot. I wasn’t happy with her customer service she acted as If I was a pain to ring up… made me feel uncomfortable, and my checkout wasn’t even complicated, I didn’t have coupons or discounts or anything extra out of the ordinary. I’m not sure of her name it doesn’t say on the receipt. It does say oper 2020 if that helps. She was a younger gal, thin and wearing High waisted jeans.
Oh and they need to get more than one bathroom!!! Every time I go there is a wait to use the bathroom and with little kids (under the age of 5) they can’t hold it that long!!!

I don’t know how I have never reviewed this location. It is one of my favorites. I always walk out with stuff.
Now it is no secret the prices at thrift store have gone up a lot since someone made it famous. Yes, super annoying but I am still able to find bargains here if you look hard enough.
Everything is super organized at this location. Staff has always been nice, no issues there.

This Value Village is my least favorite thrift store in the Lynnwood area. I stop to check it out about once a month, and have been doing that for over five years. If you are already in the area and enjoy browsing thrift stores it’s not such a waste of time…
Pros:
— Easily accessible & always plenty of parking
— Typical size and layout for a value village
— Average customer service for a thrift store
Cons:
— OVERPRICED ITEMS! you cannot find decent prices on clothing here, so dont bother coming to save money, you might as well buy new things at Ross for the same price ($ 15 sweater, $ 10 sweatpants, $ 8 t-​shirts, ect) You can find «okay» prices on sale days but not really what you expect from a thrift store!
— Sub-​par selection. The items here are very hit and miss, even by thrift store standards, they never have a good furniture/​household selection. The toy/​book selection is also really lacking.
I totally understand they are selling donations so they might not get anything good to sell based on the area they are in or something but overall the stuff is just to expensive for what it is. I would recommend the other Value Village on HWY99 over this location (it’s like 10 minutes south of this one) it seems marginally better in the selection, and pricing every time.

Staff is very friendly and courteous! Since the remodel this store looks a lot better, and feels more welcoming. They are very proud to be partnered with The Northwest Center, seeing as how they announce it twice every hour and address it while you’re at the register.
The team here keeps it clean friendly and inviting. You need any help there’s always someone close by with a helping hand. If you want to great thrift shopping experience visit the store!

I live close by, so I go to this Value Village (aka Val-​Vil aka «HALLOWEEN COSTUMES» as it is known on Halloween) on a weekly basis.
Recent reviews of this Value Village location have overlooked a key point, which is that it is flanked by a Walmart Neighborhood Market and a St. Vincent De Paul’s. This block is a frugal person’s mecca. If you don’t score here, drive south a couple miles on 99 and there is another Value Village. So I give it three stars for location alone. It’s like getting multiple bingo cards instead of one. Also, there is always parking. Also, they do a good job moving the cashier line. We haven’t even gotten to the goods yet and I am already a fan.
That raises a good point, which is: how can you judge a thrift store based on its goods? You really can’t. You can look at how well organized it is, or how friendly the employees are. But if you don’t find what you’re looking for, or you DO find what you’re looking for, that shouldn’t affect your opinion of the place. I guess what I’m saying is, don’t go chasing waterfalls.
The only reason I don’t give it five stars is that like almost every thrift store, they’re too busy manning the registers and stocking donations to organize toys or misc. small goods in any way that makes sense. Also their stickers are impossible to remove. Room for improvement, Value Village.

To me this is an average thrift store if you’re looking for cheap merchandise. I haven’t been able to find any scores when hunting for vintage clothing. The prices are fair for everything else. It’s a big location with another thrift store next door. As far as Value Village is concerned overall, this is one of their less noteworthy ones. Keep in mind, as with any thrift or vintage store, the selection is dependent upon what the people bring in. Given the neighborhood it is in, you’re not going to find many unusual things here. I would not recommend going out of your way to visit this store.

Came here with my family to look for work clothes, as I’m starting a new job next week. I was super-​impressed with the quality of clothes as well as the selection of items in my size. The prices were good, too. I purchased a wonderful suit-​dress for only $ 4 on a colored tag. This dress was brand new and perfect! I also found a very cute and new pair of Born shoes for $ 10 (sure, maybe that’s a bit high for thrift, but imagine how much one would pay for that kind of footwear any place else). I am also very impressed with their book selection, and the employees there are always very very sweet.
I find that thropping is a bit like fishing — one can be out on the lake, with the line in the water all day and never catch a thing. But, then the next time, you are out there for five minutes and land the big one. The same thing happens at V V, you can go there and find absolutely nothing one day, and then find all those things you didn’t even know you needed the next. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by St Vinny’s and the Flea Market on the weekends. It’s a true thropping experience!

The problem with Value Village is the price. They generally have a good selection of stuff, but in the past couple of years they have dramatically increased their prices. I remember I used to find 99 cent shirts all the time here, but now I’m lucky if I find one that’s $ 3.99. I’ve actually stopped looking at clothing at Value Villages because of this.
Although this location gets bonus points because one time I found a pair of pants priced for 99 cents. A pair of pants for 99 cents that I would actually wear. I was sure that I’d get to the register and they’d say «sorry, this is actually $ 9.99» but fortunately that didn’t happen.
Value Village also has a tendency to take anything that even remotely resembles something collectible and putting a $ 24.99 price tag on it. This is disappointing when you find a cabbage patch doll that would make a funny joke present, but you really wouldn’t want to spend more than $ 5 on.
I go to this location because it’s next to a St. Vincent de Paul’s and, on the weekends, a Flea Market.

I used to love browsing at this store, but anymore, the items are so overpriced. I needed to get 2 glass bread pans to bake my ‘Amish Friendship Bread’. Since I don’t bake much at all, I went over to find a pair at V.V. I did find 1 used pyrex pan, priced at $ 6.99??? Isn’t that almost retail??? They didn’t offer and discount on any colored tags, either… double bummer.
I went a few minutes further south to the Good Will on Hwy 99 and found the same thing, much less 2 of them for $ 2.99/ea. YaaaY! and I was able to bake the breads… came out quite yummy too. :)

My last stop and last chance at finding me some boots.
This store is probably one of the stinkiest by far. Lots of clothes, toys not many shoes… no boots. What you will find in abundance is old furniture.
If you’re looking for an old piece of wood, you will most likely find it here and maybe a piece of furniture as well.
My boot quest ends here. = (

the ladies who work here are some of the finest ladies in lynnwood. they are hard working people who have really fixed this location up nicely. the store is clean, bright, and super organized!
mondays and thursdays can be a bit of a bitch to get around the store, but, it is definitely worth a look.

My mother is serious about bargains. Deathly serious. Looking at full price clothes before perusing the clearance racks when back to school shopping would likely find you in tears as a kid. you MUST shop sales first!
So, of course, she loves Value Village. What she loves even more is Mondays. 99cent day. When whatever is left from the 50% tag of the weekend is only 99 cents. We used to both have every Monday off, so we did this together nearly every monday for a year. My new job means this doesn’t happen as often, but she still traverses without me… but still buys me stuff (yeah!)
So this review is going to take you down Hwy 99 Value Villages and give the highlights and lowlights of each store. We’ll also take a little hop over to the Eastside for the Downtown Redmond store.

Hmm. How do i put this. In overall cleanliness and selection, this is my least favorite Value Village. Almost like they *try* to be «everettish’.
However, I found the best selection of children’s coats and adult leather jackets here overall. Mens jeans are a wash here. *IF* you happen to find a pair in the size you are looking for (i am always looking for ²⁸⁄₂₉ or ³²⁄₃₂ for the guys i buy for), it is not going to be worth the price. dirty, holey. and full price is often far, far too high for the quality here. This location: 2 stars

This location is my personal favorite. The selection of business casual attire in larger sizes is the best here. In the last year, I’ve lost 85 lbs, so I needed to constantly replenish my wardrobe for work, and this location didn’t fail me. The regular full prices are very reasonable and they really do a good job on getting quality stuff out there. If it’s damaged in any way (missing button, small stain, etc) i’ve never seen it priced over a buck or two because of that. For men’s jeans this is a so-​so location. More bigger sized and funny shaped guys. If you are a lady looking for shoes and are over size 6… this is also a good place for you. Very decent selection of larger shoe sizes. The kids clothing area is typical and always pretty well stocked. Nothing too horribly exciting there. A little secret… they often bring out ‘extra’ items of whatever was 50% off that day just for 99 cent monday.
There is also a new St Vincent De Paul store next door, who also has a 99 cent day on Sundays. Not worth it. St Vincent just can’t hang with the Village. This location: 3.5 stars.
21 558 hwy 99 –edmonds location
This location is best for womans jeans and slacks for anyone over size 10. Sweaters are abundant here. I’ve had hits or misses on the mens’ jeans and kids clothes, but have gotten ‘lucky’ with kids shoes, ladies shoes and coats more than once. The «paired» business attire section (skirt/​slacks matching blazer) is usually larger here than other locations, but you have to really sift through some interesting items to find something decent. This is the only location where I regularly found bras for us well endowed ladies. New bras, not used, at a very good price and good quality.
This location: 3.5 stars

This is the worst as far as getting to it and parking. The parking lot is small and oddly shaped for all the other businesses smacked in around Value Village. It is my mom’s favorite store. The womans jeans section for anyone from size 12 and under is just huge. The last time we were there, just the size 8 to 12 range was 3 whole racks. Ladies shirts are good here, and sometimes shoes. I have a harder time with the bigger shoe sizes here, but when i’ve scored… oh dear laaawd have i scored! Kids clothes section here is the best of any. but you will pay for it if it’s not 99 cent day. Anything in any section with a recognizable name brand still attached is always priced higher here. mens jackets, especially blazers and suits, and mens shoes are the best here.
This location: 2.5 stars
So, if you go on Monday’s, say hi to my mom! It’s a worthy road trip to traverse down 99 and hit ‘em all!
