| Magpie Thrift at Shoreline Place |
Story and Photos by John Boril
The Shoreline location joins the original Magpie Store on Capitol Hill. Both feature clothing, furniture and household items.
The store’s website says the company is committed to sustainability and affordable thrifting.
A portion of everything you spend goes to local nonprofits, especially those focusing on helping to teach others about recycling, supporting LGBTQIA+ initiatives, and helping seniors downsize with dignity.
The Shoreline Magpie store also partners with the Shoreline Tool Library. All bike sale proceeds go to the Tool Library’s Bike Shack, which repairs and resells used bikes.
Donated items are accepted at both Magpie locations, and the Shoreline store is currently accepting employment applications for cashiers, donation attendants, and other positions.
good news! I'll be in there this week -
ReplyDeleteDo you accept donations? If so, are there any limitations of certain items you will not accept?
ReplyDeleteWas hoping for something more upscale.
ReplyDeleteThere is an upscale Senior Center furniture thrift store in Edmonds at Harbor Square.
DeleteWhat are the prices like? Is this a posh vintage thrift store with overpriced items or will this be a store where people can actually afford items? Where name-brands don’t mean an increase in price and everything is a fair rate ? Prices that reflect the initial purpose of thrift stores? Asking for a friend
