Alicia Ellingwood

Alicia Ellingwood

Thrift Store Director

Alicia is thrilled to be living in Portland and excited to have the joined the team at William Temple House as Thrift Store Director. A lifelong West Coaster, Alicia has boomeranged from LA to the Northwest and back again twice. Alicia has extensive experience in used books, which is where she learned to assess collectible and rare books, the joys of discovering treasure among other people’s cast-off belongings and how to properly alphabetize Mc’s and Mac’s. Used merchandise has always appealed to her for a variety of reasons both practical and personal so the thrift store is like a playground, as it offers some new treasure each day!
