Was trying to locate the newer resin molds for Halloween and they had them! Small store but welcoming staff! Clean and for some that said the shelves were not organized, I don’t know what those reviewers saw because nothing seemed out of place.Our cashier was super awesome and sweet! Wish we knew about this location before we were leaving to our new state.

Do not usually have much luck here. Staff are more friendly since my first visit here many years ago. Not very much variety, shelves disorganized, many empty white shelves in the middle of the store. Flooring in poor shape in spots likely due to old physical plant. Looks old on the outside too. Ok if you are looking for the most basic items like thread, white/black buttons or decorative ribbons.

There is nothing like being able to hold fabric in order to know whether you need it, this is a good store for that. As far as scissors and other accessories, I have found better prices on Amazon.

Has all the yarns, fabrics and tools that I need. And with coupons and discounts its even better. But I gotta say, sometimes it is hard to get help in the store, other than that Joanns awesome

Super friendly staff. Its an older store with a smaller footprint. Lots of stuff crammed inside but still missing lots of items that larger stores carry. Check online to see if this store carries the item you want first.

This place is always clean, well organized and shelves are stocked. This year I was a little disappointed in the amount and assortment of Christmas decorations, but I also understand stock is hard to predict for the fabulous 2020.

I needed to get a small sewing kit (needle, thread, etc). A cheaper one just to fix a few buttons that came off of some clothes I have.When I asked an employee, she stopped what she was doing, and walked me over to what was available.Later, she again (on different area), helped me again with a different item I was seeking.Staff are friendly and seem to know where things are.Theyll even check if an item youre looking at is on sale (or has coupons).

Traditionally Joann Fabrics and Crafts has been the best store you can go to for Sewing supplies, and Machines. At least that is where my mom used to go, which of course meant I went along, and was really bored as a kid.I do know how to sew with a machine, but I am not somone who sews much, nothing at all since about 1984 or 85.I went to this store recentl to buy a sewing machine for a family member, and they did not do any favores for the JoAnn brand name.The problem I have with this store is that they do not have any machines out to look at. They people in the store didnt k ow much about a lot of what they had for sale, and wanted to push the thi gs they were familiar with, or higher dollar Machines, vice the value machines. I was looking for a best bang for the buck kind of machine, which wasnt going to be used very often.They have tags for machines, but do not have all of the machines they have tags for, and no prices listed except for the machines which are on sale. But, they may or may not have those machines in stock.This is all very irritating. Had I known all of this before hand I would not have gone in the store to shop, but instead would have just gone online to purchase the sewing machine from Jo Ann. Well, I would have started with JoAnn, buy may have found a bteer deal elsewhere.I dont know what is keeping this store in business, but they way they operate isnt conducive to making sales of large ticket items. And, I will repeat that they did not hi G to help the JoAnn Franchise name. I was very disappointed. I now have the idea that all JoAnn stores will be the same. Very sad to see this once great part of Americana circling the drain.

The white woman with glasses charged me and when she gave me my ticket she took the 50% coupon for her. she took the cupon and only gave me the 20% coupon, I couldnt believe it, I was shocked. this happened today at approximately 4pm

Review №23

*RENTON HIGHLANDS LOCATION* worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. SARA, who apparently tells people she’s the manager, needs to be fired. Left a detailed review on Yelp and many people have posted since with the same experience. All bad reviews are about the same person. Don’t know how she isn’t fired yet. She is very unhelpful, rude, and clearly just a miserable person. Will not take online returns in store even though the JoAnn website clearly says that you can return in store. Will talk about you to other coworkers (instead of helping customers) because you don’t want to take your return to FedEx. Will only return to return more online orders.

Was on the phone for ten minutes waiting for a pick up. He finally found it and came out to explain it was under a different name. I indicated I entered a different name for pick up and he snidely responded that it was not and shut the door in my face.

Review №31

There was a good selection of scrapbooking supplies, cricut materials, and fabric, but the paint and canvas choices were lacking. This is one of the smallest JoAnn stores Ive shopped, and it may also be one of the oldest, but it was very clean, and the staff was friendly.

Review №32

Nice store but if you arent actually there for fabric the pickings are fairly slim. The wooden craft area is always out of stock and the yarn selection is kind of meager. Thats a shame, because this place is much closer to my home than anywhere else, and the prices are pretty good.Also, and this is more a reflection of the customers than the staff of the store: it always looks like a bomb went off in the yarn aisle. Why does yarn turn people into animals who just rip packages open and toss the ball back on the rack? You dont have to open the whole thing to feel how soft it is, Martha, chill out.Great fabric selection, lots of fun prints, a big selection of patterns.

Great sales & coupons on seasonal decorations & crafts & sewing & baking; and all around craft, sewing & baking supplies. Like a neighborhood Michaels, only smaller, they carry picture frames, storage baskets, boxes, & plastic containers, craft kits for kids, fabric or plastic floral stems, wreaths, garlands & floral arranging supplies & painting supplies. Its pure heaven to shop or browse & get those creative juices flowing! They also offer sewing classes, quilting classes, & classes for youngsters to get started with crafts!

The staff were very helpful despite the volume of customers and were amiable and attentive throughout my shopping experience. Also had great deals and sales throughout the store so I was able to indulge while staying within my budget. This was my first visit and I highly recommend this location. Tge store is very clean and arranged in a way to easily locate items without having to spend a lot of time prowling the aisles. Thanks again for the experience it was tgr highlight of my day.

Review №45

I have never in my life seen a Joann’s look like this...boxes and piled up supplies in carts all over the store, I had a hard time getting to what I needed. I have been to quite a few craft stores and this was an extreme disappointment. I’m new to the area and was excited to know a Joann’s was so close to where I live. Only to go in and find it in a desperate need of organization and cleaning. The lady who rang up my purchase was very nice and helpful but I am so surprised at the state of the store. I couldn’t get out of there quick enough.

Amber, Cara and the rest of their team are simply amazing! In the process of starting my own business they have all been very helpful and friendly. Ive tried other Joann Fabrics and have fairly bad service but every time I come here its fantastic! They all deserve a bonus for their fantastic customer service!

Review №55

This is a good smaller Joann location. All the people who work here are sweet and aeem to lean into the slightly punk Maker aesthetic. The stores inventory is more limited, but the biggest gaps at this store is that the fine art supply section is particularly small, and the plastic xontainer section is especially small. Also, the faux floral selection is very small. For its size, the notions, batting, yarn, and fabrics sections are surprisingly good.

They should do something about it soon!

This was my first time to this Renton Jo-Ann fabrics, and I found it to be large and fairly well stocked. I was looking for a particular size and type of ribbon in 8 different colors, and was able to find all of them. There are a lot of craft supplies as well as fabrics, of course. While the staff I encountered were each friendly and helpful, I took a star off for only one staff person at the checkout and only one at the cutting station. Both places had quite a line of customers either waiting to have their fabric cut or to check out.

Review №64

I like coming here because the employees are friendly. But I always have to wait such a long time to get my fabric cut. I wish they would hire more employees so you didnt have to wait so long to get your fabric cut. Besides that, its a nice place to go to get some fabric.

Review №73

It is literally the only craft store that is convenient to my house, but their selection is very limited and the staff is not always very helpful. I usually have to track someone down to help find what Im looking for and they arent always enthusiastic about helping find it. Today, I waited more than 10 minutes in line while the only cashier encouraged the 1 person in front of me to find more coupons for a $10 purchase. I ended up walking out without my items because it took so long.

Wow. SUPER RUDE. Ordered online. Traveled to show up & state - oh we packed it up already (not for me) so yeah, we will just refund you. The store was A HUGE MESS, isles closed & literally they didn’t even update their inventory. Learned my lesson. Joannes Renton truly has horrible mgmt & never to shop at this location.

The staff is friendly but for a craft supply store they sure dont stock many art supplies. No stencils, limited paints and brushes, no canvas board, no paint pens. I had to drive to another store for items I thought almost any art store would carry. They have aisles full of non craft stuff so its not like they didnt have the space. The store is quite clean and the staff is very helpful though!

Atrocious selection. I need simple international ink cartridges? Nope. Heavy duty thread for stitching? Nope. Do the staff know ANYTHING? nope. I ask a woman in the sewing department for her heaviest thread because Im stitching a steering wheel up and she looks at me like Im some kind of alien. She had no idea what her strongest type of thread was. The store is laid out for quilting and glue. Their selection is atrocious and everyone is immensely unhelpful.

Review №90

So everyones given pretty crappy reviews of this store so far, which made me a bit hesitant to go there. I needed a pretty random item and wasnt sure if theyd have it (adhesive clear plastic to cover a 20 x 30 surface that could be written on with a dry erase marker). They didnt have it, but the lady that helped me had a suggestion I might try. Anyhow, staff was friendly and the store was organized and clean. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because they didnt have what I was looking for.

Your average Joann store, selection was maybe a bit smaller than most. One star off for rude staff. The staff at the register at the time of my checkout were pretty rude when we asked to use their competitors coupon and would not let us stack coupons afterwards even though other stores in the chain will let you do it per company policy.

This store is much cleaner and organized than Bellevue. Young man cashier very nice but the gal hoovering over him to make sure he blacks out a coupon was a bit rude in my opinion but he just kept smiling and was very pleasant. Same gal worker was in the checkout line fussing with stuff with no regard we were trying to get by. Lady cutting fabric seemed unhappy as well.
