Evergreen Goodwill Unveils Permanent Mural by Seattle Artist Stevie Shao at World’s Largest Goodwill Store

Shao’s signature style draws on themes of community, opportunity, and place, making her work a natural fit for a project rooted in the diversity and energy of Seattle’s Chinatown-International District and the surrounding neighborhood. The installation marks Shao’s second collaboration with Evergreen Goodwill, following a limited-edition tote bag the organization produced with her for Secondhand Sunday last year.

Evergreen Goodwill has operated as a tuition-free adult education and job placement provider for more than a century, generating revenue through its thrift retail operations to fund programs across King, Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, and Kitsap counties. The mural represents an investment in placemaking and storytelling within that retail environment, transforming a high-traffic shopping space into something that more directly reflects the people and communities the organization serves.

For visitors exploring Seattle during the World Cup, the flagship store now offers something beyond a shopping destination. It is a place where community contributions, sustainability, and local art intersect, with every purchase made in the store supporting the organization’s broader mission of tuition-free workforce training across the region.

The Evergreen Goodwill flagship store is located near Seattle Stadium in Seattle.
