What can I expect at The RE Store?

The RE Store has retail stores in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood and Bellingham's Fountain District. We are a little bit like a home-improvement center, an antique shop and a thrift store combined into one. Before you buy anything new for your business, home or garden, come see what we have. Our inventory changes daily so it's always fresh.

"The cool thing about this place is that there are so many uses old building materials can be put to, not just remodeling a house. You can buy bricks and marble and glass blocks here and go nuts with furniture and craft projects. On the other hand, you can find claw foot tubs and old sinks and sound lumber and hardware and go nuts remodeling your home.
Before you head to Home Depot stop here and get what you want for half the price and twice the character. Stock rotates all the time, so it can be a treasure hunt and worth visiting every week." ~Maria C.

Hate your light fixtures? Want a new door? Been thinking of adding a bowling alley in the basement?  The RE Store is the place for you.   Everything you need to revamp a space.  Counters, sinks, tile, trim and yes bowling lanes.  It is the kind of place you go to with an idea and then let your creative juices flow as you wander through their vast collection of building supplies.

Picking and Choosing Materials

While we want to keep as much as we can out of the landfill, we are selective and must view items before accepting them.

* DISCLAIMER * All items for sale on first-come, first-served basis.

Measurements provided by The RE Store sales staff should be verified by customers before purchase. Materials can sell very quickly and may be one-of-a-kind items.

Contacting us via telephone will ensure the quickest response. Phone numbers are listed in the footer at the bottom of every page.
