Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette

I’ve been to several Goodwill’s in the area and I gotta say this one is one of the cleanest I’ve seen. I was looking DOR a bird feeder with no luck but I was impressed with the place

Decent selection, good sized store, nice employees and easy to find. They have plenty of carts and their restrooms are clean and have changing tables for children. I can never figure out who is pricing things, because it’s all over the place. You could get a fantastic deal or feel like you might be able to find it cheaper at Ross. It’s a new store located next to other numerous and convenient chain stores. I’m glad it’s right next to Morrow Brothers so I can go stock up on produce and check out the finds at Goodwill in one trip.
Per usual, there is always one parent that let’s their child run wild while no one seems to care. Check in often and throw elbows to get those finds.

I never make any good finds here. I really cant even remember out of all the times I’ve been in here more 2 or 3 purchases at most. The best was a copy of The Feelies album called «Crazy Rhythms» that I found on cassette. At the time it was a rare record because it was OOP. I sold that tape which cost $ 1.99 for $ 22 on eBay. Now it’s been reissued.
Not worth the time to stop by. Same as the Value Village north aways that’s also on 82^nd AVE. Maybe I’m just picky and go for select things but most Goodwills aren’t that great. This one ranks below mediocre.
Rating 1 star. Good luck finding anything that you’re crazy about.
P. S. Goodwill stop marking shirts at 1 price only! Giveaway shirts that no one is ever going to buy should not be $ 3.99! And white undershirts should not be $ 2.99! This is a thrift store. Shirts should be $.99-​$ 1.99 at the most. The way they’re charging you’re better off going to Kohls or Target who have new shirts on clearance for under $ 4 (if that’s what you’re looking to spend) any day of the week and they’re something you might want to actually wear. Sheesh.

This is a good store to goto after eating sushoi nearby. Too bad the map is Not correct about this stores exact location. It IS on 82^nd Avenue, but north of the Clackamas Town Center by about 7 city blockes due NORTH. However it IS south of the Winco store on same street by one block. Good place to shop tho. All CDs and DVDs have been taken off the sales floor and relocated to a special building that is accessed via the Internet ONLY, which means you need to order any CDs and DVDs via that Goodwill website to buy any more DVDs and CDs, sadly, due to theftery of Discs while on Goodwill sales floor (s). Good place to find interesting things from pots and pans to clothing to legos and Japanese things, tho rarely to find Japanese things, alas. Restrooms for Customers only. Lots of books here, too. Enjoy! :)

Sometimes you have to go hunting for thrift stores just as much as you have to go hunting for go stuff in thrift stores. Lately, I’ve been working on finding new spots, and then getting so tired that I hardly have the energy to actually search inside the store.
Luckily, I went back to this Goodwill, which seemed at first glacé too big and too overpriced. I was looking for a dinning room table, or other furniture that was cheap and in good shape.
And there she was, sandwiched in between two wobbly old couches, a deep and not plastic looking wooden table, just the right size, and marked $ 14.99.
This is the kind of thrift store find that keeps you returning to a spot. Just what you were looking for, when you need it, at a CHEAP price.
So, I will give this Goodwill 3 stars. –1 because almost everything in the rest of the store is just a couple bucks too much, –1 because why did anyone ever think it was okay to sell new stuff at a thrift store, and they have a large section of «new» things that take up precious old and crappy room, and –1 because of the «Goodwill radio station,» that I found myself listening to. Whatever happened to a sweet little old lady volunteer, some 1940’s dancing music playing on a radio from 1932 and good old stuff for cheap?
I’m still searching…
