Earthwise Architectural Salvage — Local services in Seattle

I visited Earthwise Architectural Salvage today, and it's truly an inspiring place for anyone looking to repurpose old materials or spark creativity. The yard is filled with antique, vintage, and unique architectural pieces—perfect for DIY enthusiasts and treasure hunters alike.

I came looking for something that my Wisteria vine could climb, and while exploring, I found a beautiful wine rack made from cedar wood. It smelled amazing and had a rustic charm that would look great indoors or out. I also stumbled upon an old wind spinner with slightly bent blades—imperfect, but full of character. With a little bit of fixing, it’ll make a lovely outdoor decoration.

Lastly, I picked up a unique piece that will serve as a great decoration for my garden. The staff was friendly and helpful, happy to chat and offer suggestions.

This place is a goldmine if you enjoy giving old things new life. Highly recommended for anyone who loves creative projects or just browsing for...

I've shopped at Earthwise Architectural Salvage for years. It feels more like visiting old friends than walking the aisles of a big box store. I feel like I'm participating in a more sustainable cycle when I buy original materials to renovate my 1920s Craftsman home. I've learned so many important things from Lacey & her team. Their knowledge about the historical architecture in Seattle is unlimited. I can usually find the standard vintage building materials I need at Earthwise such as doors/door hardware, wood trim, reclaimed timber & sink parts. They're also a treasure trove of one of a kind pieces like crystal chandliers, stained glass windows, Batchelder tile & antique furniture. I recommend stopping in at one of the Earthwise locations whether you're restoring an old home or looking for artistic features for a new build. You won't be disappointed.

This place has top quality salvage items! I was on my way to another salvage store to pick up a door on hold when I decided to quickly drop in to EW to see what they had in store. The assistant asked me several times if I needed help, but kept brushing her off, thinking I was just window shopping, however, I soon realized their selection of doors were incredible and overwhelming. On her last try to help me, I said OK. She guided me over to the most perfect vintage door, and there were sidelights to match, exactly the dimensions I needed.... sidelights... the most difficult items to find when shopping for a door that requires matching sidelights!!! Needless to say, after this awesome find, I never made it to the other store. This is now my go-to store for all my old house needs: great customer service, quality items, and reasonable prices. You can't go wrong checking...
