Earthwise Architectural Salvage in
Tacoma (WA)

This place has so many different things. Everything you could think of. Old glass door knobs cabinet end drawer handles. Old lighting fixtures, old furnitur, many sizes and styles of doors interior and exterior. Countertops, sinks, hand rails ect. If you don't buy anything experience of walking through the entire place is amazing it's like a memory. Shonna P

Good place to find older items, especially for decor.

They got alot of cool stuff! Well organized compared to others. Huge yard as well. i love going here yet hate it because 15min turns into hours there just looking at everything!! Pricing is pretty decent as well.. but you got to think about the area its in. if your looking for more of the older mil work your better off going to one of their stores up north..

They had two of the same range, one was on hold with someone else and I asked for the other to be put on hold for me. Just a few hours later I returned to see that the first range was loaded onto someone's trailer, with parts that had been taken from the range that was supposed to be on hold for me. When I asked the manager said, "Yeah, I gave them the knob," (DUDE! you have to know how hard those are to find, right?) and then was was given a weak "Sorry it was already on hold for the other person." Yes, as explained, understood, and accepted. And the second one was on hold for me, right? What I didn't expect was to return to find the range I'd put on hold missing parts that were going home with the first range. What's the point of putting something on hold if you don't know what you're going to find when you return? On top of that, needing vintage lighting for my home I had hoped to find reasonably priced fixtures. Everything was more than double what anyone could find sitting at home searching eBay or Etsy. I would have purchased something if it were reasonably priced and hadn't experienced what I did with the range. Super disappointed.

Antiques, salvaged architectural reuse, furniture, hardware, even a custom cut lumber on their sawmill.

My first experience was very good it had great architectural items and antiques that were somewhat unique. The next time I went in to purchase some drawer knobs and handles. Which were 50 cents apiece. The cashier tried to charge me over a dollar for each item. When I tried to pay her with half dollar and dollar coin she told me that they don't accept that kind of money they would only accept paper money. I really did not appreciate her attitude nor will I ever go back there again

Great place to find unique, used hardware, doors, mirrors and specialty furniture. I could spend hours looking through all the uncommon materials. It was worth the trip. Bought a great beveled mirror and plan to return for an exterior door with that caught my eye! They have a current website with pictures of most of their inventory. Excellent customer service. 5 STARS. ⭐

I live in the Seattle area, but highly recommend following Earthwise on their Instagram to keep watch of their great finds. Found a beautiful mid-century desk at a great price, and their team made loading a breeze. Can't wait to make the old desk shine again. Thanks Earthwise!

I love this place. You can look at older fixtures, claw foot bathtubs, lockers, and old reclaimed wood. We needed trim for our 1905 house and found some that matched the existing trim perfectly. It's a great place, even my dogs love it.

Great place to go to save money and if your into repurposing this is the place to find what you need! I got 3 double pain vinyl windows for less than what I'd pay for 1 new one! And so they're dirty I'll clean to save that kind of .

I love going here. The inventory is always changing. When I need to replace something in my house I make this the first stop. There are endless possibilities if you like Diy or up cycling old into new purpose. They have antiques, and vintage things, plus lighting, cabinets, bath fixtures, reclaimed wood, windows, flooring, yard art, tile, tools and much more.

They have the most amazing collection of architectural pieces. I think the site must have been a sawmill ages ago. They resaw salvaged timber and such. A delight for crafters and interior designers. Even whole kitchens in various styles. Update 6/21/22: Every time I go here they have a host of new things. I passed by the latest cedar slabs but got some granite tiles for sharpening my tools. The girl was adorable, asking me if the price was OK? You're almost too late to get the last of those bowling lanes, which make a great statement piece or workbench. I want some of those 100 year old beams but am afraid to ask what they want for delivery. That's not gonna fit in my car.

What a wonderful place to browse thru! If you're rehabbing an older place, and are looking to keep it vintage, this should be a first stop. Along with an amazing assortment of really cool vintage misc items you didn't know you HAD to have, they have dedicated item specific areas. Their door (hardware) section has absolutely every thing you could need, all sorted and laid out , displayed so nicely it was like a museum, beautiful. You can find individual items like hinge pins or Stryker plates, or entire assemblies. They have 3 locations around Puget Sound, and are happy to check their other locations for you if you don't see what you need.

I didn’t find what I was looking for but they had so many awesome things and the staff was friendly. If I owned a house, this would definitely be a place I would be handing my paycheck to often. Also, don’t forget to look up! They have tons of lighting hanging above.

Cool stuff for your yard collection or for art. I found this tall ladder so I can grow my kiwi vines on it.

Always a fun place to go! Today there were sections of bowling alley lanes to be used as countertops, huge light fixtures from a church, double doors from a movie theater, movie theater seats, beautiful doors, which is what we went for. Sometimes we go with a project in mind, sometimes we go and make up a project that will fit the treasure we find. Very knowledgeable people that work there, easy backup and loads your truck access. Much better prices than salvage in most other places.

Highly recommend this place! Helpful, friendly employees and an incredible selection of really unique and special materials. I was looking for wood to make a new fireplace mantel, and a friend recommended Earthwise, so my husband and I decided to check it out. When we described what we were looking for to an employee, he immediately showed us a bunch of great options. We ended up settling on a large piece of mahogany that had washed up on the Washington coast. They cut it to size for us, and we brought it home, sanded and finished it. I'm thrilled with the result, and love that there's a unique story behind my new mantel. I'll definitely be back for materials for future home projects.

First time visitor, was surprised to stumble upon this place as I had never heard of it. Great selection of vintage leaning towards antique lighting, furniture hardware & salvaged wood in many forms (columns, archways, trim). They also had all the randomness of a Habitat for Humanity but with a flair for the nostalgic. Adorned with antique heavy machinery and a modern mill for custom cuts its a great place to search for a unique piece to integrate in a custom home or just stop by to look at some history.

This is a gem of a place if you love a treasure hunt for material that can come to life in all sorts of ways! I love coming here often just to look around and get inspired and maybe to see what catches my eye! There are endless amount of project ideas and as an artist it's amazing what I can find. It's an adventure every single time and I find the staff extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I have never had any problems and I am a regular since I live in the neighborhood!

This place is so much fun! All kinds of great finds for your home! Can't wait to get this barn door up!

Love this place. Great fun to browse, even if you don't have a specific project in mind. Found the perfect light fixture for my new bathroom this weekend. I will be back for sure!

Clean and well-organized. This place is a treasure trove for old hardware and old wood. They even do custom milling on-site.

Love this place, so many fascinating things to look at! I never leave empty handed!

My husband and I always enjoy our visits here. Everytime is like the first time because you never know what you're going to find. When looking to build or make something for my house, I prefer to stop here first because everything is unique and has so much charm. In our last house, we were able to find enough for trim to do almost the whole house and closet wire shelves. A couple months ago, we purchased old growth raw timber planks with a cool back story and a live edge to use as shelving. This most recent visit, we were looking for a pantry door and stair railing supplies. While they had the items in stock, we didn't find the "right" look, but left with a utility sink for the garage and a display case for my son's Legos and plenty of ideas to come back for later.

I went here to look for things to upcycle and decorate my house with. Unfortunately, anything that even looked slightly vintage was ridiculously priced regardless of which era it was from. The ladies who worked there were very nice. The low star rating is due to the crazy prices.

Great place to buy windows, doors, tiles and much more. It is even fun to just browse around.

Incredible... My girlfriend and I discovered this place when she was looking for table legs for a project she is working on. We quickly discovered the places that will be getting much of our money. The staff was excellent and extremely friendly; very informative and helpful with creative suggestions. The wood!!! Holy crap!!! They mill their own wood here. We're freaking out about all the projects we're gonna be able to do now!
