This is the location for Our Lady of Good Help Church, site of the first St. Vincent de Paul thrift store in Seattle.

This is right near the corner of First Avenue and Battery Streets in Seattle, the intersection of where our first thrift store moved after spending one month at the Our Lady of Good Help Church.

Here is our first street level retail thrift store at First & Battery in what is now Belltown in Seattle.
