Preparing your moving experience...
From Ballard boutiques to Capitol Hill thrifting, we map out where to score the best vintage pieces in the city.
Seattle has a thriving vintage furniture scene. If you aren't shopping at big box stores like Crate & Barrel or West Elm, you are likely hunting for unique mid-century modern pieces or restored antiques. Here is where to look.
1. Ballard: The Mid-Century Capital
Ballard Avenue and the surrounding streets are packed with curated vintage shops. Look for teak sideboards, Danish dining chairs, and statement lighting. The vibe here is high-quality, restored, and ready for your home.
2. Capitol Hill: Eclectic Finds
For more eclectic, bohemian, or industrial pieces, Capitol Hill's vintage stores are a must-visit. You can find everything from velvet armchairs to retro metal desks. Prices can vary, so be ready to dig for a deal.
3. Georgetown: Industrial & Antique
If you love the industrial look or true antiques, head south to Georgetown. The massive warehouses here often host vintage markets and sell larger architectural salvage pieces that can define a room.
4. How to Get Your Vintage Finds Home
The catch with vintage shopping? **No delivery fleets.**
Most vintage boutiques and consignment shops don't have their own delivery trucks. They expect you to take it with you. That is where Z-HAUL steps in.
We partner with shoppers across the city to provide 'retail-delivery' service for stores that don't offer it.
• **Same-Day Pickup:** Found a piece you can't leave behind? We can often swing by same-day.
• **Careful Handling:** Vintage items are often one-of-a-kind. We treat them with the white-glove care they deserve, using blankets and straps to ensure they arrive in the same condition you bought them.
• **Multiple Stops:** Shopping spree? We can make multiple stops in one run.
Next time you fall in love with a dresser in Ballard, don't walk away because it won't fit in your Subaru. Book Z-HAUL and bring that vintage charm home.
