“They have this process down. It's efficient use of the volunteers and they make you feel like you are contributing. This was my third time here, and I packaged lentils, dairy and frozen potatoes. After a quick briefing and getting suited up, we are in the task. You get a rhythm going and get quicker. It's more fun when you bring friends, and the time goes fast. Makes me feel like I am giving back a bit.”

“all kinds of literature for sale at cost that i didn't even know existed! something for everyone seeking recovery (from the 'mothership' of 12-step) even if you're in another 12-step fellowship. this place welcomes volunteers and occasionally holds meetings and gatherings... feels like home away from home. you just have to hang out there a bit to understand, but i'm pretty sure you'll end up glad that you did.”

“It’s usually fantastic, staffed and volunteered by wonderful people who treat everyone with kindness, respect, and dignity. For real, they are beautiful souls. However, today there was someone working there I’d never seen before - an older lady with glasses, a baseball cap, and a limp - and she was so rude. Yelling at the entire line bc more than 10 people went inside at once (tho we had no instruction or clue this was the policy); and yelling at an Asian woman looking at some free bunches of flowers to choose from, “I don’t have time for this!” and when the same smiling Asian woman asked a question in her native language, the worker woman replied, “I speak English!” Horrible and not representative of the rest of the staff and volunteers.”

“Just finished our day on the lake at Gig Harbor. We took advantage of the Gig Harbor Boat Shops awesome, reasonably priced classic boat rentals. It was a great experience in a wonderful boat. We highly recommend and would not hesitate doing it again!!!! Hats off to the crew of “seasoned men” restoring these beautiful works of art.”

“Very kind people the idea of emulating a store quells the feeling of percussion. The name is very misleading as a market inherently requires a monetary or physical trade.”

“Amazing community resource! Have just about every tool you can imagine. Great not having to buy tools that you might only need once. To people saying they stopped by and no one was there: it's staffed by volunteers, so don't expect it to be able to staff like a for-profit business.”

“The IRC organization lives up to its commitments in providing educational and economic wellbeing to refugees in the Greater Seattle Area. The organization’s office based in Seattle helps refugees to apply for permanent residency and US citizenship as well as helps them to settle down in the new country through active social engagement and learning opportunity.In the summer of 2020, I had a chance to observe the organization’s operations as it was in charge of providing refugees support in US citizenship application. Becoming a citizen is a very important part in a refugee/immigrant life history. I observed the IRC provide information on how to obtain legal assistance, prepare paperwork for those who have difficulty understanding the English language, and assist with learning about the US history and civics test. Overall, the process of providing information about the necessary steps needed to apply for a US citizenship as well as the support with each step was well streamlined. I highly recommend this organization.”

“This is a friendly Goodwill, although I must say Seattle Goodwill's I believe have lost touch with their mission statement. The prices have become ridiculous at the Goodwill's in Seattle.”

“I support Seattle teachers and SPS staff on strike! Our educators should not be the one our community is blaming for holding up the first day of school; that's all on SPS who refuses to bargain a fair contract that supports students and teachers. #SEAstrong”
