🛍️ Tacoma’s North End Goodwill Boutique Is Closing

Even after 10 years of operation

If you live in Tacoma’s North End, here’s a heads up: after more than a decade in Proctor, the Blue Goodwill Boutique is closing its doors for good.

đź‘— A Different Kind of Goodwill

Unlike traditional Goodwill thrift stores, the Blue Boutique at 2520 N. Proctor Street has always focused on higher-end clothing, jewelry, and home goods. It became a local favorite for shoppers looking for quality finds in the heart of Proctor.

But after 10+ years in business, the lease won’t be renewed. Goodwill says this closure is part of a larger effort to streamline operations, even as they continue their core mission of providing job training and career services across the region.

đź“… Final Days & Discounts

The boutique’s final day will be September 30, 2025. In the meantime, the store is offering discounts on remaining inventory as they wind down operations. For bargain hunters, it’s one last chance to score deals before the doors close.

đź§­ Why It Matters

Closures like this don’t just mean fewer shopping options — they also mark the end of a small chapter in Tacoma’s neighborhood identity. The Blue Boutique stood out as one of the few curated secondhand shops in the city, and for Proctor, it leaves behind a prominent storefront.

The silver lining: Goodwill remains committed to supporting the community, even as they shift their retail strategy. But for North End residents, saying goodbye to this boutique will feel like losing a little piece of Proctor’s charm.
