Seattle ReCreative

Love this craft store, not ADA accessible.
I had come here once on my own, and the second time with a friend who's in a wheelchair.

Aisles are tight and crowded with products, Initially I only found it a bit bothersome but seeing as though my friend wasn't able to even comfortably move his wheel chair between aisles without bumping into boxes or getting stuck was disappointing.

I recommend reorganizing to make it more accessible for disabled folks, this is an important part of the community and it would show that you care about your disabled community members.
I'll be coming back but I really hope to see this important change next time!
Not having enough space is not a good excuse to not be accessible, we owe it to our community!

Wonderful gem of a store! I was able to purchase extra chunky yarn for $5/lb. Note that they take donations only by appointment.

This place is fabulous. I wish it was a few dollars less, but also, you totally get what you pay for. There's an art docent, and toys and supplies and it's so fun. I only wish it was cheaper so we could come more frequently, totally worth it though.
The kids started in the toy area and eventually warmed up to the paint area and then went nuts with all the painting and drawing on the floor. So fun. Well be utilizing our punch card for sure!!!

I am mail artist and rubber stamp collector. I love to find reuse art stores to see what I can add to my collection and collage stash. Great shop, very well organized, and prices are very fair.

I don’t know if any other secondhand art store, but the staff here has always been extremely kind and I’ve gone here all my arts and crafts! For my drawing class at college, my own embroidery hobby, my friend’s crochet hobby, and now that I’ve picked up sewing I’ve gone here for patterns and materials. Extremely reasonably priced and I can do so much more with my hobbies with my budget. It can seem a bit crowded and overwhelming at first, but once you go a few times then you know where to look and it isn’t as overstimulating

my favorite store! i love it here and you will too! yarn that your wallet will love as much as you do! tons of craft materials you won't easily find elsewhere. amazing.

I previously posted a review about another business here by accident and wasn’t posting about a pleasant experience. 😝 ☺Here’s the review for Seattle ReCreative: My daughter directed me to this business to pick up some craft supplies for my lengthy visit in Seattle. I found just what I needed and at a great price! The staff is very friendly, and the owner is very understanding about my mis-post. Check this business out!

Great, affordable arts and crafts store. I like stopping by to get supplies for activities with my kids.

An incredible treasure trove of delights to ignite your imagination and inspire creative pursuits of all kinds. Seattle ReCreative is a wonderful place to get lost while looking for supplies, and with truly an excellent mission. Everyone support it!

Recycle, reuse, renew: very cute store with tons of bits and pieces of art supplies. I got a ton of glitter for around a dollar .

Not only do I like donating here, as I feel great someone else will love the supplies I can't use anymore, but it's always fun to have a look around with my wish list to see if something has shown up. Crafters Paradise! Great, friendly staff.

I love this place! So much amazing material that is donated from other crafters. And super cheap! Plus a play space and they have workshops so great for rainy days!

I go here once a month at least, I really love the concept of a donation-based thrift store. You can find both cool vintage items and tons of brand new, unused supplies for a lot of different artistic disciplines. I mostly come for sewing and knitting supplies and have had luck finding cool things or something that fits my needs every time. Since it's donation based, if you don't see what you're looking for one time try again in a few weeks and it may show up! Great selection of yarn, books, thread, zippers, etc. The fabric selection is very hit or miss for me but I've found some excellent and useful pieces (and even yardage) every once in a while. Staff are all very friendly and have helped me find specific things when I've needed it.

This store has never failed to increase the number of items in my possession. Sometimes I even use them! A most wonderful place to go when you have a draft of a draft of a project idea. Sometimes you'll finish the idea, sometimes you'll finish the project, and no matter what you'll have a small human interaction that heals your wounded outlook on the state of the world. Seattle is dying but at least we have SRC. ❤

Love this place! Living in walking distance to it was an amazing experience... you need a little thing here, a tiny thing there - chances are so high that they have it. The concept is great (sustainability yeah) and the actual assortment never disappoints! Nice and helpful staff as well. Out of all the things I will miss living in Greenwood, this store is probably in first place.

Fun store! Found some quality fabric for a nice price! I think their cottons are around 3$ per yard. Store is a bit overwhelming, but the workers were very friendly and informative. Street parking, easy in and out.

This store is so captivating I have to impose personal limits on how many times I can go and how long I can stay. Everything is so affordable and you’re bound to find whatever you need (and more) plus the concept and mission are just great.

Great little non-profit for random art and craft supplies. They run on donations and everything is very reasonably priced so you never know what you’re going to find, kind of like a creativity treasure hunt. Will never donate supplies to Goodwill again!

When I came to Seattle ReCreative for the first time, I spent two hours rummaging through bins without even realizing how long I had been there for. I instantly fell in love and it's become my go-to for art supplies and a great place to show to family and friends. Very kind staff and a super unique collection of materials each time I visit. Love this place!!

Great for things like fabric samples, buttons, fancy yarn, beads, wooden stamps, and lots of completely random odds and ends :) Masks still required, but there are some provided.
