About us

Is Goodwill a non-profit organization?
Seattle Goodwill Industries is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to job training and education. We strive to efficiently use resources entrusted to us to help our neighbors in need to gain self-sufficiency for themselves and their families. Last year, more than 6,000 people came to us for help, and over 1,400 were placed into good jobs. We encourage everyone to read our Annual Report for more information about our programs and how we give back to our community.

Discounts and pricing

Do you offer discounts or coupons?
We offer discounts 5 days a week. Find upcoming discounts on our Sales & Events calendar.

What sales are going on this week?
Every week a specific color tag goes on sale. On Thursday and Friday, that color tag is 30% off. On Saturday and Sunday, that same color tag discount is increased to 50% off. And on Monday, the price of items with that color tag is dropped all the way down to $1.99!

Do you offer senior discounts?
Yes, on the first Wednesday of the month, seniors over 62 years with a valid ID can enjoy a 20% discount.

Do you offer military discounts?
Yes, on the first Wednesday of the month, all active or retired military with a valid ID can enjoy a 20% discount.

How do you set your prices?
Pricing is something that we pay a lot of attention to because it’s so important to our customers. We sort and price, on average, over 100,000 unique items every day in our retail stores. We try hard to price these items correctly and in a way that provides good value to our customers. Our staff receives training on pricing, and we stay abreast of current trends. Also, we routinely audit our prices and comparison shop to see how they compare with those at other thrift and retail stores. If you come across an item in our stores that may be priced incorrectly, please feel free to speak with the store manager. Although we strive to provide our shoppers with great value, our primary mission is to raise much-needed funds through the sale of these donated goods so we can provide free job training programs for people in need. 

Return policy

What is your return policy?
Refunds are gladly offered within 7 days of purchase. Original tags must be attached, and the receipt must accompany all items to be returned. All refunds for returned merchandise will be credited to a Goodwill Gift Card. Mattresses, foundations, and jewelry are not returnable. Returns can be made at any of our Northwest Washington nonprofit thrift store locations, excluding outlets.

Do you ship to other countries?
