What They Sell

Black Sheep Resale stocks a rotating mix of secondhand goods spanning clothing, accessories, housewares, décor, collectibles, and more. As a resale shop rather than a traditional charity thrift store, the inventory here tends to be more intentionally selected, which means you're more likely to encounter quality pieces — vintage finds, name-brand clothing, unique home goods, and the occasional rare collectible — mixed in among the everyday bargains. The ever-changing inventory is part of the appeal. No two visits to Black Sheep Resale are quite the same, and regulars know that checking in frequently is the best way to snag the good stuff before someone else does.

The Neighborhood

South Tacoma is a working-class, community-driven corridor with a rich mix of local businesses, auto shops, and neighborhood staples along Steele Street. Conveniently located near major transit routes and within easy reach of Tacoma's bustling South End neighborhoods, Black Sheep Resale sits in a plaza that's easy to find and accessible for shoppers coming from all across the greater Tacoma, WA area.

Parking

Black Sheep Resale is located in a multi-unit commercial plaza at Suite 106 on S Steele St, which typically means shared surface lot parking is available right out front. Parking is generally straightforward with no meters or time limits to stress about — just pull in, park, and shop at your own pace.

Shopping Tips

  • Visit early in the week if you want first pick of newly added inventory — many resale shops refresh stock over the weekend, making Monday and Tuesday great days to find fresh arrivals.
  • Go in with an open mind. Black Sheep Resale rewards flexible shoppers who browse broadly rather than hunting for one specific item.
  • Check all item conditions carefully before purchasing — resale goods are sold as-is, so a quick once-over saves surprises at home.
  • If you're a collector or vintage enthusiast, don't rush. Give yourself extra time to dig through shelves and racks, since the best finds are often hidden in plain sight.
  • Follow or call ahead at (253) 292-1076 to ask about any upcoming sales, themed days, or specialty drops — smaller resale shops like Black Sheep sometimes run promotions that never make it to the front window.
