Goodwill to close north Everett store mid-August<\/p>\n
Published 11:03 am Tuesday, August 4, 2026<\/p>\n
EVERETT \u2014 Goodwill\u2019s North Everett location is set to shutter Aug. 14 after 42 years in business.<\/p>\n
The decision stemmed from officials for the nonprofit thrift chain looking at simplifying transportation routes and which stores made the most financial sense, said Alyssa Grigg, spokesperson for Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington.<\/p>\n
The 3002 Hoyt Ave. location \u201cwas one that, unfortunately, when we were looking across all the stores, didn\u2019t make sense to continue running,\u201d she told The Daily Herald Monday.<\/p>\n
As of Friday, the store stopped accepting donations, although retail operations will continue until Aug. 14.<\/p>\n
The 8,263-square-foot store opened its doors in 1984. Officials initially announced the closure internally in mid-July.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of customers in that area that know and love that store so much,\u201d she said. \u201cWe wanted to make sure that they were aware of the change, and also to encourage them to shop at the South Everett store instead.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Evergreen Goodwill operates 23 thrift stores across Kitsap, Snohomish, Whatcom, Skagit and King counties, Grigg said. This includes the South Everett store, located at 228 SW Everett Mall Way, which will remain open.<\/p>\n
The southern location hosts \u201ca much larger store, better parking and will also be accepting donations,\u201d Grigg said. Any leftover inventory north Everett customers don\u2019t purchase before the closure will be sent to the Everett Mall Way location.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will still absolutely have a presence in that community even if we are choosing to close that one location,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Evergreen Goodwill also operates an outlet thrift store at 2208 W Casino Road, colloquially known as \u201cthe bins.\u201d In February, Community Transit\u2019s board of directors voted to authorize the purchase of the outlet location<\/a>.<\/p>\n The proposed lease agreement will allow Goodwill to operate the outlet store and recycling center for the next three years, The Daily Herald previously reported.<\/p>\n The Evergreen Goodwill also runs a Job Training and Education Center as part of their Everett footprint.<\/p>\n A customer, who gave her name as A Scott, said she will be sad to see the Hoyt Avenue location go.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sad it\u2019s closing because it seems like that\u2019s the way things are going in Everett,\u201d Scott told The Daily Herald.<\/p>\n Multiple stores she used to shop at have closed recently, she said, noting last year\u2019s closure of the Everett Fred Meyer<\/a>.<\/p>\n The store employs 13 individuals. Those who want to transfer to a nearby location will receive prioritization, Grigg said.<\/p>\n Evergreen Goodwill owns the north location\u2019s building, and the future of the property is unknown at this time, Grigg said. Along with the Everett location, a donation center in Woodinville will also be closing.<\/p>\n Jenna Millikan: 425-339-3035; jenna.millikan@heraldnet.com<\/a>.
