Magpie Thrift

Magpie Thrift operates two locations in Seattle, with the Capitol Hill store at 312 Broadway E. This nonprofit-supported thrift shop carries clothing, accessories, home goods, and furniture, all priced by hand and displayed with care. The store is known for its universal floor plan that organizes items by cut and function rather than gender, creating an inclusive shopping environment rooted in Seattle's queer community. Magpie rotates weekly discounts until items reach 50 cents, keeping merchandise out of landfills whenever possible.

Founded to continue a decades-long affordable thrifting tradition, Magpie Thrift directs profits toward Everly, a community partner nonprofit focused on sustainable care and creative reuse. The store features an "As Is" section for items needing repair or creativity, encouraging mindful consumption. Staff discounts and community partnerships reflect the owner's commitment to keeping the store inclusive and giving back to the neighborhood since the early 1990s. Open daily from noon to 7 p.m., Magpie welcomes shoppers, volunteers, and those interested in working with the team.
