If you’re a certain type of Seattleite, your 20s are easily recollected with one waft of eau de Value Village and its ever-lingering, distinctly musty magic. Capitol Hill’s V2 has been responsible for transforming city newbies into thrift-store-chic urban dwellers since before Seattle’s first wave of flannel fever. Easily accessible by bus and open seven days a week, Value Village offers its best buys via half-price sales, requiring frequent visits since its turnover is extremely high.
