| Caption | Seattle Goodwill Industries was founded in 1923 when a group of local businessmen recognized a need to provide training and employment for those without job skills. In the 1930s, Seattle Goodwill began serving individuals with physical and mental disabilities. Financial support for the non-profit organization comes in large part from sales made in its thrift stores.
