Great service and good selection for being downtown Seattle. Found such an awesome plant by accident. This is my go-to hardware store.

The prices are actually pretty okay for downtown Seattle. I got some toggle anchors for mounting peg boards in my condo, and the guy who helped me was super friendly and knew exactly the right supplies for the job. I took the time to measure the thickness of my drywall and the project turned out great.

Thank you, Curtis, at Hero Ace Hardware Downtown for your expert help. I appreciated your professional tips on the best tool to use for removing old bathtub caulking and which products to buy for the job. You saved me time and $$. Also, your advice for restoring wood on an outdoor deck was spot-on. Thank you for your guidance.

The folks who work here on the weekends are excellent. They’re helpful and friendly; someone always asks me if I need help as soon as I walk in the door. As someone who is not handy, I appreciate their willingness to answer all my newbie questions, and do so in a manner that is not condescending. Happy this store and staff are here in the city.

To the franchise owner -- the best way to stop retail theft is to have employees consistently engaging customers, not to demand every customer surrender their bags at the front desk -- youre losing more business than youre saving in shrink. Your employees are lazy and clearly dont care, and their attitudes make it a lot easier to just order everything from Amazon.

It had what I wanted. It had many options of what I wanted. A few times it was out of stock for what I needed. Friendly greeting from store clerk, upon entering.

Its in the middle of the city therefore has quick essentials; from paint to small garden/Home essentials. I got there 3 partial screens for my window a humming bird feeder. Not bad for a city hardware store. Parking is unknown to me as I dont have a car. Prices are ok. Free would be better lol

Who cannot like a nice hardware shop with very helpful people to ask for anything that is needed. They also have this scrap section that contains left rover material which you can use for DIYs. They also cut machine cut wooden boards for a small amount which is helpful!

Theft rate must be high at this store because they treat paying customers like a thief. When I go in there is one person up front. By the time I left a few minutes later with my purchase 4 workers were up front and one positioned by the exit even after I paid. The worker who unlocked the power tool didn’t even trust me enough to set it down on the ground long enough to lock the other tools back up in fear that I might steal it. He called over another coworker over to hold it while he locked up the other tools. He didn’t even say thank you after I paid. I was dressed in casual clean clothing. This tool was only in stock here so that’s why I came. Had it been at my local store I would have bought it there. Be cautious of theft but don’t make it so obvious. Shameful.

These guys are so nice. They’ve given me advice and helped me (beginning DIYer) plumb my vanities/toilets/sinks, cut through all kinds of challenging objects, set up my appliances, mount tons of heavy stuff, taught me about tools, found the most specific tiny screws/washers/nuts/anchors, troubleshoot electrical problems, and always with a smile. Special thanks to Michael and Markus. Wish the return policy was more than 30 days. That’s the only downside.

A much appreciated alternative to Amazon for same day pickup for online orders. I needed a hex wrench for a part on my bike. So I placed my order and picked it up on my lunch break. Then figured out it may not work.So an associate helped me find the item I needed at a lower price and same-day. I’m glad that this business is here and I hope it remains here for years to come.

I love this downtown hardware store. Whenever I have anything sort of Hardware related that I think Im going to look on Amazon to try and find I always first check here because they more often than not have exactly what Im looking for I can go and pick it up myself and its more often than not less expensive than Amazon! Thats in addition to the bonuses of actually dealing with real human beings, face to face, people who care, who work in a small business, each is locally owned, as opposed to the megalomaniacal owned and operated Amazon.com.

I WAS a loyal customer to this location visiting nearly once a week. I came in for a routine purchase. I had just finished a long bike ride was tired and looked a bit of a mess. Stopped me at the door, looked me up and down and told me to leave my bag that is worth more than his job at the counter. This has been a first if four years. When he failed to prove he could guarantee the security of my belongings he rudely gave me an ultimatum to abandon my bag to a stranger or leave.It was also a first to see this guy working here. Dyed neon blue hair Asian male.

There is always something special about an Ace hardware in town centers. This one takes it to another level. They have a great supply of equipment and had everything I needed for installing screens in apartment windows not designed for screens. They helped out by pointing out another solution that was much easier than the path I was going down. It was a far less expensive solution too. Not only did they help, they offered to help out with a window solution for a window exhaust for the summer months. AC units are not a common site in Seattle, but sometimes they are desired. They offered up some tools I could even borrow if I needed. They understood that I was visiting and traveling without tools. I also enjoyed the all-inclusive vibe they give out. Not like some of the other ones I have visited in small-town USA. Bottom line, there is only one hardware store in downtown Seattle. I am glad it is this one with the helpful staff they have. The only negative; they are missing the popcorn machine. I suppose it may be due to all of the homeless folks that might try to steal it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this unexpected adventure into this bright, clean and welcoming hardware store. It just so happened I was in need for a random tool that was needed to finish one of my many DIY projects I have started since beginning of co-vid. I was down on 3rd ave for an appointment and saw the familiar ACE logo and a nice lit sign that said OPEN . I ventured in and I was immediately welcomed by the warmth the absolute BRIGHTNESS, CLEANLINESS, and mostly the FRIENDLINESS the store offered. Especially in these times it felt like a fresh breath of humanity still exists in the darkest places if you look at it right. I am thrilled to have stumbled upon this gem amongst boarded up buildings and businesses. I plan to be a returning loyal customer.

A good store and you cannot enter with your bag. This creates an overt atmosphere of distrust and true inconvenience. It is assumed, you trust them.

Review №61

I always receive excellent customer service here, but a friend of mine went the other day & the guy who helped her was next level! After finishing my browsing, he saw me looking for her and asked if I needed help finding anything. I replied, A sassy Asian girl? without missing a beat he tells me to follow him, takes me right to her, and asks, is this the one youre looking for? I nearly died laughing. He had been and continued to help her (and several other customers)find EXACTLY what she needed, on the first try for everything. If give them 5 starts, but they are a smaller store and the selection can be limited.

Review №62

I really like Ace Hardware. Ive shopped the business most of my life. I just hope they improve their customer service. Why? I have been feeling a lot of discrimination from sales associates who make me feel as if Im in there to rip them off. Ace dont stereotype and use stigma when customers enter your store. That is discrimination and extremely unprofessional.

Review №71

Been shopping here since they opened and all in all, its been great for everything I have needed. Just dont go when the property manager is on site. That guy was verbally abusive with plenty of expletives peppered in there. Good luck reaching a manager about such matters. Theyd do well not to renew the lease of that kind of abuse is tolerable. If like to know why the store manager is unable to address this kind of conflict as well. No matter. I will forsake convenience and a longtime patronage to plan ahead to go to Hardwicks instead. You really should have taken my phonecalls.

I have started going here to pick up things for work, and this morning I went in to get a replacement transponder key made for my work truck. Geoff was awesome to work with - he got my replacement key cut and programmed right there, and for a fraction of what the dealer charges.The level of customer service at this location far exceeds what Ive come to expect from big box stores.

Lots of items to offer in the store. The staff is always super helpful. They have a great supply of loose screws, nails, nuts etc. There is a paint section, garden, HVAC, tools.

The staff was friendly and helpful, no complaints there. The only problem is, they open at 8am. This location is key for all of the professional construction trades working downtown, but we typically start at 6am or earlier. It would be nice if Ace hardware could open earlier, even 7am would be awesome.

This place is great! We walked in looking to get a M4 tap and they were all out. We had walked about a mile cuz were here for work so imagine the horror when every tap size is there EXCEPT for the one we need.WELL, the gentleman (I kick myself for not getting his name) a black man with semi curly hair who was helping us, walked to the back and came back with an M4 tap from his own tools. The generosity he showed, the horror we felt gone, really makes me appreciate the magnitude of his giving. This Ace Hardware store has a gem of an employee who truly looks after his customer.Thank you sir for making our day.
