Is there a thrift shop for recycled construction materials in Seattle?
They aren’t in Seattle proper, but Habitat For Humanity has ReStore locations in Tacoma and Bremerton. “Habitat ReStores are retail outlets where quality used and surplus building materials are sold at a fraction of normal prices. Proceeds from ReStores help local affiliates fund the construction of Habitat houses within the community. Many affiliates across the United States and Canada operate successful ReStores—some of which raise enough funds to build an additional 10 or more houses per year. Materials sold by Habitat ReStores are usually donated from building supply stores, contractors, demolition crews or from individuals who wish to show their support for Habitat. In addition to raising funds, ReStores help the environment by rechanneling good, usable materials into use.” Sources: http://www.habitat.org/env/rest
