Editor's Review
With an overall rating of 4.3/5 from 235 reviews, Helping Hands Thrift Store in Bothell has made a solid impression on many shoppers, though not without some dissent. A recurring highlight is the store's friendly staff, as noted by Aaron K-idds, who mentions, "Great store, Great staff. Heck the one lady knows my shoe size." This sentiment is echoed by Stacy Bannon, who appreciates the attention to quality: "They do not sell junk. Prices are very affordable and on different days they offer discounts." The store's family-owned status since 1992 adds a layer of community trust and support.
However, the data tells a different story when it comes to pricing and product selection. Some customers have expressed disappointment regarding price hikes on items that should be more affordable. Amy Smith lamented the presence of "fast fashion" and "dollar store items being grossly marked up from the original retail price," stating, "There’s a lot of items here that you can get for cheaper at the big box stores." Additionally, Rackbone's experience with overpriced shirts reflects a growing concern among customers about pricing strategies.

This used to be one of the best thrift stores, idk if they got someone new doing pricing in the back but it's gotten really bad. $15 shirts lol. It's like they are looking at prices on eBay and then matching that. Super disappointing.
