Crossroads Clothing Exchange, a store that buys and sells used clothing, moved from its Capital Hill location to a much larger space in the University District in late 2008. The store is essentially the same, but the new location is much easier to peruse—essential for a used clothing store. Gone are the too-tightly crammed overhead racks, now replaced by shoulder-level straight and circular racks categorizing items by size, color, and type of garment. The store’s wares are very current, gently used merchandise from clothing labels favored by students of the nearby University of Washington: Abercrombie & Fitch, Joe’s Jeans, Juicy Couture, and many more. The prices are a bit steep for secondhand merchandise, but worth it if you’d rather not root endlessly through unorganized piles of clothes or cramped racks. - Katie Kinney.
