SEATTLE — May 26, 2026 — With Seattle set to welcome visitors from around the world for the FIFA Soccer World Cup in just a few weeks, those planning their time between matches will likely gravitate toward familiar stops, such as Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and MoPOP. Just steps from Seattle Stadium, a less known stop offers a different kind of experience:
Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington’s Seattle flagship store, the largest Goodwill in the world, invites visitors to immerse themselves into something very Seattle—the city’s commitment to sustainability and the circular economy.
A treasure hunters’ paradise, the 70,000-square-foot resale space stocks approximately 10,000 new items on the shop floor each day. A team comprised of members from over 20 different nations assists visitors as they explore and replace whatever they may have forgotten at home or didn’t realize they might need for their trip.
For travelers navigating a busy and often expensive event, resale offers a compelling shopping alternative:
- A multitude of affordable options at a time when prices are rising
- Access to quality used items being kept out of landfills for minimum environmental impact
- A retail experience shaped by the local community, where inventory reflects what Seattleites give—the best starting point for memorable travel souvenirs
For those moving between matches or exploring nearby neighborhoods, the store can serve several purposes at once: a place to pick up an extra layer, find something unexpected, or take home a piece of Seattle that doesn’t feel mass-produced. Its proximity to Seattle Stadium makes it an easy addition to any itinerary, whether stopping in briefly or spending time exploring.
Unlike traditional retail, each purchase carries an added dimension. Revenue from every sale supports Evergreen Goodwill’s tuition-free job training, education, and career placement programs across Northwest Washington, connecting everyday shopping to long-term community impact.
