Could any of you kind people provide a recommendation for 2 or 3 thrift shops in Seattle, preferably in the Wallingford area? I am looking for some burner goodies. Thanks.

    Can I recommend going to Tacoma? It's totally full of thrift stores and reasonably priced "vintage" stores.

      Tacoma is not a bad idea and it is much closer to me than Seattle. Thanks for the tip. Now why didn't I think of that.

        My favorite for clothes is Thrift Cirty, 904 72ND ST E TACOMA WA 98404. My favorite for random non-clothing crap is the St. Vincent DePaul, which I'm having trouble finding on the google map. I also really dig Bargain World near Ruston 4502 N Pearl St Tacoma, WA 98407. Also, down on Commerce I believe some of the vintage shops have awesome stuff. It's where I've always gotten my sunglasses. For 8 bucks I can always find the most rockin sunglasses imaginable, usually ones with really good lenses that protect my eyes and make me feel like I'm wandering through a post-apocalyptic wonderland. Anyhow, happy hunting!

          Value Village on 15th just off 85th in Ballard.

            We love that Value Village! There's also the Goodwill at 8th Ave and 65th St.

            If you don't mind widening your search there's a GW at 15th Ave and 145th St. There's a V V on Lake City Way, and Lynnwood has both a GW and a V V. I highly recommend the GW Distribution Center Downtown as well as the GW on Dearborn.

              What about garage sales? Oh man we've scored some good stuff for burning man just driving around from sale to sale. I can't wait.

                I like the garage sale idea. But I tend to buy things I don't need because I couldn't afford not to buy.
