Refreshing a room or a wardrobe feels better when it is smart, stylish, and easy on the budget, and the consignment and resale scene around Tacoma delivers exactly that. Expect tidy boutiques, well-edited vintage, and practical gear that rewards a discerning eye without the chaos.
Let’s get to it.
Tacoma Furniture & Consignment
Consignment that reads like a design gallery, not a rummage bin. In downtown Tacoma, Tacoma Furniture & Consignment stages the floor in crisp vignettes, so browsing feels easy.
The mix is curated consignment plus select new pieces, from sofas and dining tables to accent chairs, art, and decor. Expect well-kept goods with occasional vintage or mid-century gems. Prices land mid to higher, yet the value beats full retail. It is a tidy treasure hunt, calm and focused.
Selling is straightforward. Submit photos and measurements online, await approval and an e-contract, then drop off or arrange delivery. The split is typically 50-50, and payouts hit PayPal the month after sale, usually around the 15th.
Staff are friendly and low pressure, with help for pickup or delivery. Inventory turns quickly, and new arrivals plus promos hit the website and Instagram first.
Best for design-minded shoppers who want standout pieces without full-price sting, and for consignors who prefer a higher bar than thrift. If you love rooms that look intentional, start here.
Glenna’s Clothing
Hats, coats, and mid-century silhouettes take center stage at Glenna’s Clothing. This is the Tacoma spot for true vintage that looks like it just stepped out of the garment bag, not the attic. In Opera Alley, it balances glam with approachability.
Expect a boutique, showroom feel, with color-sorted racks, tidy displays, and a quiet edit. Pieces span the 1900s through the 1990s, including suits, dresses, fascinators and hats, gloves, shoes, handbags, and vintage jewelry that holds its own. Quality is strict, and only excellent condition makes the cut.
Pricing sits mid to higher, reflecting era, designer, and condition. That makes it a smart stop for collectors and anyone hunting a statement coat or investment-level dress. Budget-minded thrifters may prefer other outlets, since the value here shows in the curation and how ready to wear everything is.
Inventory rotates steadily thanks to deep back stock and an active Etsy storefront. New arrivals surface on their own schedule, so checking the online shop or arranging an appointment helps you catch the good pieces. Selling is by appointment, and the shop also buys select vintage outright. For payout details, contact the owner and expect knowledgeable, personable guidance.
Second Use Building Materials
Start here when your home project needs soul without the sticker shock. Second Use turns the bones of old buildings into a resource for fresh design.
Reclaimed doors, windows, cabinets, flooring, vintage lighting, plumbing fixtures, hardware, appliances, and even industrial artifacts show up here, priced from thrifty to special. The online database updates throughout the day, so you can search, compare, and plan. Expect period pieces for Craftsman homes alongside builder basics.
It is a warehouse browse, yet orderly, with clearly marked sections and an active receiving area. Staff can place short holds and confirm availability by phone. Frequent markdowns keep things moving, so a quick check before you drive can save time.
Clearing out a remodel? Donate for a Habitat tax receipt, take cash, or choose store credit that stretches further. Consignment is reserved for unique, high-value finds and requires emailed photos and approval. Acceptance depends on condition, completeness, space, and demand, with a final inspection at Receiving.
Best for DIYers, renovators, and anyone who wants character and sustainability without boutique prices. If you enjoy the hunt and do not mind measuring twice, this Tacoma mainstay delivers materials that make a home feel settled and intentional.
Playback Sports
Finally, a consignment shop that treats ski boots and soccer cleats with the same respect. Playback Sports turns the family gear churn into genuine savings, without skimping on condition.
Walk the roomy aisles and you will see sections for team sports, winter, bikes and trailers, water, and camping. Cleats, bats, skis and boards, boots, helmets, gloves, and apparel sit in clean, clearly graded racks, often gently used or like new.
Selling is straightforward. Drop items, staff price and list, then track it all online. Payouts land when things sell, often within a couple of months, at a roughly 50 percent split. Items are inspected, cleaned, and priced seasonally, so turnover stays brisk.
This Tacoma shop suits value-minded families and hobbyists who want reliable gear without the retail sting. Inventory changes fast, staff know their sports, and the vibe reads community first. Check the website for current stock and easy pickup. Time it with the season and you just might nab an upgrade before it disappears.
Scorpio Rising
Picture a time capsule curated by someone with taste. Scorpio Rising zeroes in on the wearable sweet spot from the 1970s through the 1990s, with rare band and graphic tees, sturdy denim, good coats and dresses, plus the occasional accessory or Tacoma memorabilia.
Expect a tidy, gallery-like setup that makes browsing easy without draining the thrill. Staff keep things clean, organized, and knowledgeable, with a steady playlist that suits the hunt.
Prices sit in the mid range for vintage. Not thrift-store cheap, yet far from precious, and the condition and curation earn their keep. New drops land often, so repeat visits tend to pay off.
Shoppers who love authenticity and everyday-wearable vintage will feel right at home. Bargain-only thrifters may want to steer elsewhere. Selling to them is straightforward, since they regularly buy pieces from locals and often handle intake by appointment or scheduled drop-offs rather than a classic consign-for-percentage program. Call ahead or check Instagram to confirm what they are taking and how payouts work. Longstanding on 6th Ave, it is an easy add to a Tacoma vintage loop.
TIS LUXE A CONSIGNMENT BOUTIQUE
High-end labels sharing space with a TIS $10 rack. That clever mix sums up TIS LUXE A Consignment Boutique. Curated, not crowded, it leans into sustainable luxury while keeping room for true bargains.
Set in University Place, the shop lives inside a salon suite collective, so the vibe is intimate and boutique. Racks are edited for women’s clothing and accessories, with vendor consignors adding variety. You get recognizable names, clean condition, and pieces that feel intentional rather than random.
The draw is the range. One hanger might carry a designer dress, the next a budget-friendly TIS find, and both feel worth a try. It suits shoppers who appreciate a tidy treasure hunt and prefer quality standards over sifting through endless bins.
Keep an eye on its Sip ’n Shop events, where seasonal restocks and deep discounts tend to surface. Those sales can be the sweet spot for stretching a budget without losing the luxe.
Consignors, expect a boutique-style model, and call ahead for acceptance and payout details. Online info is slim, so browsing in person is the move. Perfect for curated finds and a smaller footprint, less ideal if you want a sprawling showroom or a full e-commerce catalog.
Ashley’s Room Consignment
Think curated closet, not thrift pile. Ashley’s Room Consignment leans into a boutique experience with two tidy storefronts in downtown Puyallup and downtown Sumner, both an easy drive from Tacoma.
Racks are neat, categories make sense, and dressing rooms welcome you. Staff act like stylists, steering you toward pieces that work. Expect mid-range pricing, occasional designer-adjacent gems, and plenty of budget wins.
Inventory turns quickly thanks to steady consignor appointments, so there is always something fresh. Find women’s clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, perfume, plus a sprinkle of vintage. It is fashion only, not furniture or electronics.
Considering consigning? Appointments are required. Plan 15 to 30 minutes while they review. Bring clean, current, seasonal items, most on hangers, jeans folded. No suits, formal or wedding dresses, or basic plain tops. Consignors earn 40 percent, items remain up to 60 days, then become store property per contract.
The overall vibe is friendly and polished, great for teens through adults who want wearable style without digging. If you prefer curated over chaotic, put this one on your list.
Heaven Sent Children’s Resale
In Federal Way, Heaven Sent Children’s Resale delivers name-brand kidswear without boutique prices, backed by staff who edit what comes through the door. Family-run and long rooted, the shop keeps an easy, no-nonsense vibe and a steady flow of finds.
Sizes run from preemie to 10+, with shoes, toys, books, and a small maternity section. Baby gear is plentiful, from strollers and highchairs to carriers, pack n plays, and nursery extras. It stays tidy, stroller friendly, and comfortable to browse.
The hybrid sell or trade model is a perk. Book a buyout window for same-day cash or store credit, or use tote drop-off, processed in a few days.
They handpick items that are clean, gently used, stain and odor free. Shoes must function, toys should be complete, and recognizable brands move. Once accepted, pieces become store property, which keeps pricing straightforward.
New arrivals land often, and seasonal refreshes keep holiday outfits and sports or dance gear timely. Watch their site or socials for flash sales and discount days for grandparents, foster families, and veterans. Private parking keeps it low stress. Best for value-minded families and grandparents who want quality basics and gear that works, not designer drama.
