Tacoma Goodwill Outlet is a thrift store operated by Goodwill of the Olympics & Rainier Region, a nonprofit organization that provides career training and job placement services in the local community. The store offers a wide variety of donated items, including brand new products with tags as well as used and sometimes broken goods. Customers describe the shopping experience as an "adventure," with the opportunity to find unique and "bizarre" treasures at affordable prices. However, the store environment can be challenging, with bins that are difficult to access, especially for those with physical limitations. The store is also not disability-friendly, and the lack of a public bathroom can be an inconvenience. Despite these drawbacks, the employees at the Tacoma Goodwill Outlet are praised for their helpfulness and friendliness. Shoppers recommend visiting on a weekday to avoid crowds and bringing gloves and hand sanitizer to navigate the potentially dirty and cluttered environment. Overall, the Tacoma Goodwill Outlet provides a unique shopping experience with the potential for great bargains, but customers should be prepared for the unique challenges of the outlet store format.
I'll never go to an OVERPRICED regular Goodwill ever again. If you can handle digging through bins, you can find some awesome things. I'm a reseller, but I find great things for myself too. Bring your gloves and have fun. I can spend 6 hours here. I gotta take a lunch break 😜

Can still find some cool stuff but the shoppers that have carts full of stuff sitting there and spend all day pushing people out of there way is a big stupid. It keeps me from going more often
