Sweet Pea’s

It’s closed. So. Sad. I loved this resale shop. And after dealing with other high may resale shops, Linda made it so easy to consign here. I heard its reopening as a used kid clothes store. I hope they consign. And I hope they are as wonderful as the previous owner …

As with any consignments store, it’s ‘hit or miss’, but she crams as much as she can in that tiny space, so you’re bound to find what you need. She also has an array of new and used toys. She consigns baby gear through elementary school stuff, primarily clothes for the «under 2 year old» set. I never feel pressured and love just going in here and browsing for treasures. The epitome of a small, independent business that is really just one woman, trying to make a living at what she loves. I always go there first, over the «bigger» baby consignment stores that have the money for a slew of employees and pretty signs. PS– She’s also very good at knowing what she has in stock– if you give a call, she can let you know if she has any baby bottles, or a vibrating baby seat, for example.

This shop was pretty crowded. There was stuff sitting around in black garbage bags, and the clothes weren’t in that great of condition. Plus, it smelled like Subway, and had cheesy country music. Not horrible, but def. not a great place.

Linda is sweet and thoughtful. I always find quality clothes (and, lately, shoes) and while it’s more expensive than Goodwill Sweet Pea’s is still a great deal. I hadn’t realized how incredibly expensive some brands are retail. I’m glad this store is close to home.

A little on the small side, but I can usually find what I’m looking for there. I also like the idea of supporting a small business in South Seattle, especially one owned by such a friendly and helpful person.

I just did consignment with them for the first time and it was super easy! The owner is very friendly!

I do really like this store. I love the fact that I can just walk down to it from my house and check out what she’s got on any given day. I love supporting my local businesses. I’m giving it three stars because of the cleanliness/​organization factor. It’s just so hard to shop it.
I really want to help the owner to re-​org the whole place because I just cant find anything, and mostly because I’m a neat freak (and I used to work in retail merchandising).
Maybe the owner needs some hired help? I’m a stay at home mom willing to help for some free clothes!!! I think she would find if she made it a bit more shop-​able that her business would go up… With websites like
and people putting lots of clothes on Craigslist these days, you need to stay competitive.

Every time I try to shop here, there is a sign on the door saying «closed» for whatever reason or the owner will close the store early. Very unprofessional and a waste of time.

I have to say this has been a hit or miss experience for me over the years that my little one has been around.
That said, these last few visits have been hits so I’ll bump it to 4 stars out of belief that even I can be wrong about places sometimes.
The selection is great as are the prices– expect to pay between $ 5 – 12 for quality name brand clothing for kids, shoes run about the same range but inch up towards $ 20 for the fancy brands in great shape, overall, about 25% of retail prices on most items.
The huge benefit is that they also sell nice, new toys and gear. They carry Mustela — my go-​to brand for baby care gifts– and Melissa and Doug toys.

A good –if somewhat chaotic– consignment store. Most of my firstborn’s infancy tackle came from here, and is still in use by our little cousins today.
Nothing says «Kiss my thrifty Scottish a**, corporate sweatshop slavers!» like keeping great clothes in circulation.

Children’s new & used clothing. Consign. Buy. Trade. Linda has great taste & very fair prices! Sizes available from infant to school-​age (8 or 9?). She also carries a nice variety of baby/​kid accoutrement, such as socks, shoes, toys, cribs, books, etc. There are a LOT of consignment stores in Seattle (even in my neighborhood), but none hit the mark as well, or as often as Sweet Pea’s IMO. This is a must stop whenever we’re over in Columbia City!

I really like this little consignment store quite a bit. They always have a good selection of baby/​kids clothes, shoes and gear. The store is a bit crowded but well organized and you can find many goodies for pretty good prices (i.e. a brand new with tags Flora and Henri baby girl shirt for $ 15!) I usually find good stuff there and the staff is really friendly. I would only suggest they make some room for double strollers but this is a very common problem at children’s stores for me.

I was out on a mission to find high chair for my 5 months old, didn’t find it there, but I sure didn’t go home empty handed.
The onesies were a great bargin if you do some digging for the right size. Some other outfits were not as cheap as I’d hope, meaning it’s about the same as what you may find at TJ Maxx or Ross, but I’d come back because I like the you-never-know-what-you’ll-find surprise factor, and I like to pass these on to others when we’re done.

Took my gal-​pal and her 4 year old daughter in tow here while on a Columbia City tour (they live in the Mag, see my profile if you don’t know where that is). I was in awe of Sweet Pea’s. What a great spot in the heart of Columbia City! This is an original, meaning it was here before I moved to Co. City 3 years ago. Please, please continue to give this shop business, I want it to still be here when I have kids! There are so many great, gently used clothes for excellent prices and you can trade clothes your kid outgrows for more clothes! You can’t go wrong.

Awesome. Thank god for this place. The owner is a dream and actually takes some of the used items and embellishes them to become cool original pieces. Got the best little Gap jean jacket all gussied up in the Cowboy way.
Great deals, and it pays to contribute to her booty. You can just trade forever and barely spend a dime.

Ahhhh. Sweet Pea’s! One of my favorite places in town. Everything I buy for my neices and nephews is from here. I send all my expectant mother pals here. They have everything! From books, to strollers, to bags of baby spoons, to shoes, it goes on forever. The ladies are very friendly and super helpful.
