Wander too Far and You Might Get Lost

Okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration.  Honestly though, I've never been inside a Goodwill so extravagantly large.  I walked in and immediately was taken aback.  Ballard's Goodwill has just about everything you could possibly want in terms of budget purchases.  If you are in need of household items, the Ballard Goodwill likely has it. It is located at 64th Street and 8th Avenue Northwest.

I wandered in on a whim and certainly do not regret my decision.  The place is set up to outfit you for adventure.  Need shoes or boots for an adventure? Look no further for your thrift store needs.  Need a jacket, a book, or sports equipment? They've got affordable choices.  As I browsed through row after row of items, I realized that each individual object has a story.  Each had an owner, and each had a different story.   Now, they have been given the opportunity to have new owners, and in that way more adventures.

I urge my readers to donate any items they don't use anymore.  Why let them sit around collecting dust when someone else can put them to use and give them the adventure they deserve.  Here is a link to their accepted items page.


The Ballard Goodwill is also of course affordable.  Coming from a chain of thrift stores, you're bound to find an item for a bargain. 

Most jeans are very reasonably priced at around ten dollars.  T-shirts and long sleeved shirts range from five to fifteen dollars.  While jackets, depending on their brand and style, cost around twenty to thirty dollars.

Although you have to search for particularly great finds, that's all part of the experience.
