Seriously, interesting place with items that are so unique and desirable! Inventory is more on the antique/quaint level (not so much vinyl window type thing: Although they have those as well) very interesting items for sale and worth my time . If you're looking for hard to find house parts, mortise locks, antique lighting, old wood (flooring and more) ( and much more ) THISis the place to go! Also, I love the staff who are very friendly and helpful. Earthwise is a shopping adventure for people looking for something quaint or to buy/replace old house building parts(Including windows, Cupboards , Solid wood doors... Clawfoot bathtubs ! It just goes on and on all the fabulous things in this store ....Simply fabulous!!! A shopping adventure for hard to find things !

If you love stuff or are looking for project ideas you may never leave. The place is full of building treasures, but you might need a map to find X.

This is a wonderful shop to browse unique items you won't find anywhere else (and the occasional deal on something more common). This is a treasure hunter's dream.

They have a really unique and wide variety of things, they also have items pretty well organized with barcodes on them, so you're not just searching endlessly in a sea of stuff. Friendly and helpful staff as well.

Having worked at the OTHER salvage store a block away, I've wondered how to best explain EW to folks that haven't been. Second Use is more of a straight forward shopping experience, but EW is a scavenger hunt adventure! Less aisles and more pockets and sections of goodies put together. It's like an antique mall, the City Museum from St. Louis, and the Cathedral of Junk in Texas. It is fun and I always recommended that people stop there when I was working.

I stripped a bolt on my bicycle, and none of the big hardware stores in the area were of any help. Luckily, Earthwise had two of the exact bolt that I needed. Very helpful staff, and fun atmosphere. Will definitely return for my next obscure project.

I went in for hardwood since my local (Tacoma) branch didn't have enough of what I needed. There was a small parking lot that seemed potentially shared with the other businesses. Had to take a lot of turns to get to the store. I asked for help and one of the workers immediately walked with me to help find what I needed. I'd brought a sample of hardwood from my house so he matched it to the wood and then started picking out enough for the amount of space I had. He was really helpful and made sure I had the exact amount I needed. I didn't get to explore the store since I got there towards closing, but it looked gorgeous - lots of older things and antique things. I feel like I could get lost browsing around.
