Michaels is always the place to look through every aisle. This location is light and bright. The staff act very put out by questions or even at the register. I recommend the Michaels app for great coupons!

This newer Michaels is huge. They have a great selection of products ranging in price from low to medium-high. Certain products have high-end brand offerings such as art markers and colored pencils, but if you are looking for specialty yarns, for example, you will have to find a more boutique - type yarn store. Pretty much any confusion or frustration may be prevented by looking online, where they have all(?) of what you can find in store plus more. In any case, the staff of this particular Michaels location are always extremely friendly and seem happy to help with whatever they can.

Who don’t love Micheal’s! This location is easy to shop at quick because it’s empty most times. Not many people but also there’s a limited supply on items especially decor items.

Shout out to Kara in the custom framing department. She was wonderful, optimistic, professional, and so helpful in helping me select the right frame. I got a voicemail from her a few weeks after ordering in Jan 2021, she said the frame that arrived for my art wasnt in good condition upon arrival, so she was going to reorder it. I appreciate her attention to detail and following through on this for me. I cant recommend her enough - or this location in general!

A crafters paradise! This Michaels location is kind of tucked away from the main street. So if youre not intentionally going there you might miss it. But low key Im ok with that LOL just means more goodness for those who are about that craftin life. They are well stocked and the service is friendly. You can wander the store for hours or run in and out. It is worth the trip if you happen to get stuck in traffic. And hey make it a trip and stop off at a few of the surrounding businesses.

They usually have what youre looking for even if you didnt know I. I like that they recently added a fabric section to this location and have enjoyed my new sewing adventures. Employees are typically all around kind but not always well trained or updated on deals, sales or the cash register....can be frustrating. Although there are always sells they recently got rid of their clearance sections which is a total bummer.

This Michaels just like all the other location throughout Washington state, same layout or similar, good deals and discounts and of course friendly & helpful service. This place isnt just for the crafty person but someone that wants to decorate their home, office or special place. If your working on home decor you can find everything you may need to get your project complete: spray paint, picture frames, canvas, art supplies, small projects to keep your little ones busy and so much more.

I absolutely love this store! They have everything any craftsman, artists, organizers, teachers, students, parents, creative adults, creative children and even just plain old doodler could ever want and/or need. I love this store!!

Lots of bare shelves! Apparently theyre having trouble with the supply chain and getting orders in. This is a great place to find stuff on clearance. Staff is always nice and they have a good selection (when in stock).

Great selection of art supplies, and things I need or want are almost always on sale, the store is large with fairly wide aisles so it is super easy to shop and Social Distance. I really appreciate the extra safety protocols like sanitizing the carts and displaying signs about requiring masks. The cashier was delightful too.

A great selection of supplies and services with regards to arts and crafts. Overall, great service and prices, especially if you make an online account that often offers coupons to use in-store or online.As a general notice, the cellphone reception inside the concrete building is terrible and prevented me from using their mobile app.

I usually love this chain but this store had very minimal items on the shelves. On all 3 occasions.

Review №22

I love Michaels and the folks here seem very nice, but they are sadly very short on stock on many items right now. I’ve heard from many businesses that the issue is corona virus, but I’ve also seen many businesses manage to keep stock at this point. I do believe there is a concern on the part of businesses regarding stocking too high...I expect this is more the case.

I went to buy a light box; the kind for tracing. No dice, so I made one out a picture kind and some Christmas lights. I had to pee real bad on way there, so I was please to see that the bathroom was accessible, and close to the door. They were out of paper for drying so in used my pants.Im hungry

Forgot how wasteful there merchandise is. Hardly any ‘maker’ materials are recycled/recycle-able. Kind of sad since it’s also geared towards moms and family’s.

Review №44

Went to check out their fabric - I was excited that Michaels was carrying it, until I saw it ! Yes their prices are much below their competitors but the fabric is also WAY below the quality of their competitors ! Dont let them fool you or waste your time - its no bargain, the fabric is very cheap - 😢

An organized and clean store for basic art needs. The staff are nice and items are generally easy to find, especially since you can go to the Michaels website and find the aisle location for items there.Doesnt have the widest variety of stuff for professional artists but if youre a hobbyist or just looking to give / make a gift, this is a good place to go.

Michaels, a larger craft store chain, is known for its various and sometimes obscure items that you can buy to make anything in regards to crafts/hobbies. This location is about an average size and is usually a little less busy since its off in the back away from the main road. The employees are nice here and the store is usually very clean. They have quite a big parking lot here as well.

Review №63

I always love going to Michaels. This store feels cluttered in the way its organized, which is different from the Michaels stores Ive always gone to, but its okay. Although I would have loved to see more popular items restocked more quickly, as no one seemed to know for sure when an item was to be restocked. But the staff are pretty helpful and I enjoyed my visit!

This location has a nice, eclectic spread of items. I usually go to get storage containers and supplies for work. I like that it is generally not crowded and the cashier lines are short. There arent very many people milling around so if you have a question, youll need to walk to the cashiers desk to ask.

This Michaels is bright and intuitive. It is very easy to find most things, or at least the right section. All staff that I asked help from was knowledgeable, and could tell me almost the precise location of each item, however, not all were so eager to help and seemed annoyed. The assistants at the register were very pleasant with great attitudes, which was a good note to leave on.

Review №72

Ill admit that Im not a craft store expert so keep that in mind. I checked this location out because they moved in near our neighborhood. I thought the selection was quite extensive and their staff members were all very helpful. They had a selection of Autumn decor and craft items for 70% off. Since it was only early November, my daughter and I were still able to make good use of them. I never mind paying 30% of retail.

Review №75

So happy to get a Michaels in Seattle. This is a big store, and a lot of other Seattle craft stores are smaller and have less product. I’ve always found what I was looking for here and have been impressed by the selection. They also have a big parking lot, which a lot of stores in Seattle do not have. This has become my go to craft store

Review №77

Large store with good variety. Staff are sparse, but helpful. Better prices than Joanns on many of my crafting needs - sketchbooks, pens, etc. Joanns doesnt carry any resin at all, but Michaels does. They are cool about coupons.Only four stars because the automated voice over system that follows you around is super creepy.

Qu
Review №78

This is a pretty big Michaels so they probably have what youre looking for. They carry a ton of yarn and scrap booking and baking supplies in particular, but I probably notice those first two because theyre relevant to my hobbies.Its honestly really quiet. The location isnt great so they dont seem to get a lot of foot traffic; not that I mind that at all.They do only have one electric shopping cart, so if youre handicapped or mobility restricted maybe call ahead and ensure no one else is using it.

An
Review №79

This is a nice Michaels and a lot of it has to do with the fact that it is a new building. Its located in an area with a bunch of new business developments popping up. When I visited it had a smaller parking lot because it some of it was fenced off for more new buildings. The store itself is bright and has a lot of home goods and decorations. I did not interact with a lot of people here, but the cashier was friendly. I dont know of many Michaels in Seattle so I traveled out of my way to visit. Overall its a good place to visit if the local stores dont have what youre looking for.

Im so happy this location opened up. I usually have to go out of my way to a craft store, but now I have one accessible near my apartment.Coming to a store like this in general, I already know what I want--its just a matter of locating it. Ive had a pleasant experience with the staff here, I dont go out of my way to talk to them unless Im checking out. However, when in passing, theyre quite friendly and ask me if I need any help. Regardless, dont expect people to bend over backwards for you. The staff is friendly and helpful, but have tasks they must take care of on their shift.The store as a whole is larger compared to other locations. Just like any store, the organization will not be exactly the same but manageable to find what you need. They have all your crafting essentials and more. The app regularly updates calendar events at the store. Always a handful of coupons available to use.This store is worth a shot. Its new and theyre still getting the hang of things. I enjoy my experience every time I come, which is quite often since Im DIYing part of my wedding.

One of everything for a crafter. Nice new store, well organized, seasonal decorations. and quick hit cheap crafts for the little ones. Super convenient parking, classes, clean restroom that I didnt have to worry about bringing my little one into. Seems like everything is always on sale, and if you sign up for emails, you get an extra percentage off. They also have a custom frame shop in this location.

Everyone loves Michaels! However, I wouldnt have known that it was located way back, behind the wine and liquor store. I just happened to stumble upon it making a U turn. You cannot see this building from normal traffic. They really need more signage and advertisements! The parking lot is never full, the times that I have been there.

So happy to finally have one in Seattle!!! I was worried it was gonna be a tiny inner city store, but I was happily mistaken. They seem to have everything and more you would expect from any Michaels.
