Crossroads Trading is a retail destination in Seattle, WA. The company provides a shopping alternative by offering secondhand clothing to the community, focusing on sustainable fashion choices that extend the life of wardrobes.
Founded in 1991 by Jerry Block and Chip Gerken, Crossroads Trading was a pioneer in the secondhand clothing industry. The business operates with a commitment to sustainability, offering an alternative to the environmental impact of fast fashion and the high costs of the luxury market. To facilitate their mission, they provide various ways for customers to participate, including a mail-in service where shoppers can request a pre-paid bag to sell items from home, as well as a drop-off selling service for those who prefer to bring items directly to the store.
The business is known for its well-documented information and its long-standing presence as a local institution. For over a decade, the store has served as a gathering point for a diverse community, maintaining a collection that reflects various cultures and lifestyles.
Crossroads Trading continues to serve the Seattle area with a vision of providing a better way to shop through sustainable, secondhand retail.
