Craigslist is more of a big classified ads site and community bulletin board. It can get a bad rap sometimes because the "community" sections in a lot of cities tend to be populated by weirdos. But I found almost all my current furniture and such through the site, plus sold off anything immovable when I left Colorado, so I'm a fan. I don't go into the darker reaches.

Freecycle is just that: Free! I got most of my furniture, including a solid oak china hutch, a solid oak entertainment center and a "chair-and-a-half" with ottoman for the gas it took me to pick it up!
I've joined it here, but even though I see things I want, I have to move once more before I take anything else in. I want to move as few items as possible!
Anyway you look at it, places that help you get what you want for not a lot of money are good places! Check freecycle and see if there is one in Oly or Lacey. They are actually international, now.

"I don't go into the darker reaches." Very good advice for wandering around the Flying Castle, too.
