9:04 AM: The 20th-anniversary West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day is on! Above all else, it’s a fun day of community connection, and what’s above is one of the most fun photos we’ve seen so far, Drew at Sale #162 (6038 49th SW) – one of the lemonade-stand sales listed here. … At least one sale is so exciting, it has people waiting in line:

That’s Thunder Road Guitars (6400 California SW; WSB sponsor), Sale #73, where Frank and team have a huge Garage Sale Day Sale every year, and one of our photographers noticed the crowd. … In Gatewood, multi-family Sale #150 (7800 39th SW) has “a lot of vintage table pieces,” our photographer reports:

Toward the south end of the WSCGSD map, Sale #1, the White Center Eagles‘ multi-seller site (10452 15th SW) is set up outdoors:

Vintage stuff we spotted there included classic sci-fi movies on VHS, and padded barstools … Meantime, just in via text:

Crazy Bob’s (#437, 3243 56th SW) is back! Look for the Snowman Tube Guy. Gnomes galore. New kites. New outdoor equipment!

9:58 AM: The second hour is about to begin! One of the big sale sites (all listed here) is Our Lady of Guadalupe (Sale #170, 7000 35th SW, in the gym) which has tons of baby/kid stuff, including these cribs:

At OLG, we’re told, “We have a ton of stuff and will be offering 50% off at the end of the day and possibly free items.” … In Arbor Heights, Amy‘s plant sale raising money to fight lung cancer – in honor of her mom Sue – is a WSCGSD tradition:

That’s Sale #27, 3703 SW 107th. … Also in the south end, the Community School of West Seattle (Sale #530, 9450 SW Roxbury) is having its first collective sale in years:

Turning north, here’s another WSCGSD tradition, the art glass extravaganza (Sale #302, 3241 47th SW)!

Also on 47th (4142, to be specific), Sale #413 is highlighted by a bake sale raising money to fight breast cancer, and they had quite a crowd when we visited:

Same block has other sales – including more baked goods at 4111 47th SW, Sale #517 – the Scout Troop 284 fundraiser:

Looking for chairs? Here are options! Iris sent this photo from Sale #298 at 4333 SW Hudson:

11 AM: Hour three of West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day begins! Here’s a combination business/fundraiser sale, at Potter Construction (5639 California SW; WSB sponsor), Sale #50, they’re donating proceeds to the West Seattle Rotary Foundation:

(Our photographer just came back to HQ with a $10 office chair from that sale!) … Also on the fundraiser beat, Southside Revolution Junior Roller Derby has a benefit sale in Highland Park, 7755 12th SW (Sale #550), to help pay for competition trips, with skates and a bike among the merchandise:

As mentioned in our daily highlight list, the skaters have a home bout tonight, too! … Got young shoppers with you who need a play break? Tilden School (out back of 4105 California SW; WSB sponsor; Sale #333) is positioned as a “Rest Stop” for families – our photographer reports, “Games for the kids, including cornhole, along with refreshments for sale and a few items, including vintage school chairs.”

There are also activities inside Combat Arts Academy (5050 Delridge Way SW; Sale #545) – and unique merchandise, even tie-dyed martial-arts apparel:

Historic Kenyon Hall (7904 35th SW) is raising money again this year with a Swap ‘n’ Shop sale featuring music equipment, records, and guest DJs all day:

Records – as in vinyl – are also a hot item at Sale #360, 1738 Alki SW:

A different kind of hot – just in from Sale #153 at 9640 42nd SW:

We still have a great Weber Kettle with plenty of fun accessories for pizza and smoking. Someone out there in West Seattle is probably needing this! :)

12:04 PM: WSCGSD enters hour 4! If you haven’t been to the Fauntleroy Schoolhouse multiseller site yet (out back at 9131 California SW, Sale #96), the primary goal is to raise money for a new van for Fauntleroy Children’s Center:

Also fundraising in Fauntleroy, this crew at Sale #88, 4313 SW Concord – Tricia explains it’s “for Seattle Children’s Hospital in the fight against AML.”

Looking for Mother’s Day gifts? Eddie sent this photo:

My daughters and her friends working our garage sale location #130. They have been working for several weeks creating hand-made jewelry for the garage sale. Bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and more.

They’re at 8812 39th SW. … We’ve encountered a lot of music-related merchandise today. This is part of the layout at the sale nearest to WSB HQ, at 8237 California SW (Sale #156):

A big part of Community Garage Sale Day is the spirit. Sellers at 8647 Delridge Way SW (Sale #563) had plenty of that when we stopped by (lemonade and hot dogs too):

1 PM: In The Junction, the California/Genesee sale (#431) is always popular. You never know what Mike (who sent the photo), John, and friends are going to have:

This is right across Genesee from the multi-seller Hotwire Coffeehouse site (4410 California SW; #431). … Elsewhere – Barbies, anyone?

Kristin sent the photo from Sale #293 (5707 SW Bradford). … Update from the Our Lady of Guadalupe sale (#170, 7000 35th), everything is now half-off and cribs (see pic above) are still available … Another update: We checked back at Thunder Road Guitars (Sale #73), where we showed the pre-opening line in the early going. Proprietor Frank Gross remains exuberant:

He told us that along with deals inside the store, there’s a large selection of discounted guitars and other equipment in the parking lot behind the store.

1:35 PM: Just under an hour and a half left to shop and sell! Sale #38 outside Peace Lutheran Church (39th/Thistle) is a benefit for the Chief Sealth IHS Gymnastics Team:

At Sale #538 in South Delridge (8124 18th SW), the description mentioned an art show of small clay sculptures – here they are:

Meantime, more enterprising young sellers .. via text, we received this photo and report:

Plant and 3-D-printed fidget sale run by 1st graders at 5636 47th SW (site #98).

And at Sale #94 (5646 46th SW), a mango lassi stand!

2:10 PM: Final (official) hour! Among some photos sent in the early going, this one from Sale #403 (3628 61stS SW) offered an unusual collection:

“Nerf gun arsenal” is how Liam described all that … Not far from there, Sale #457 at 1338 Alki SW is a five-family sale:

And if you’re going to Alki, for sales or otherwise, you might see orcas – Kersti Muul tells us a group is in Elliott Bay again today!

2:50 PM: A seller on Alki comments below that they just experienced some rain. Definitely wasn’t in the forecast, and the radar suggests it was a brief shower with nothing behind it … If you want to keep shopping even though official WSCGSD hours are ending, we’ve made a list of sales that planned to continue tomorrow (Sunday, May 11), at least when they registered and sent in their description:

Before you start the day – whether selling or shopping – check the map page for updates such as the list of last-minute cancellations and links to all the lists we’ve published. And let us know if you encounter any great discoveries! westseattleblog@gmail.com (be sure to include the sale #) or text 206-293=6302. We wish everyone successful selling and shopping!

Looking for plants? West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day (tomorrow – Saturday, May 10, 9 am-3 pm) has sales for you!

That’s the photo sent to us by Sale 386, one of 28 sales mentioning plants, along with 15, 27, 43, 51, 62, 72, 76, 87, 101, 120, 186, 213, 369, 384, 387, 406, 407, 408, 464, 500, 514, 527, 538, 552, 566, 571, 572. Or if you need something for your plant(s) to grow in …

Those cedar planters are part of a woodworker’s sale, #144. Two other sales promise planters – 256 and 572. Whatever you’re seeking, somebody probably is selling it – amid the stuff (24 sale descriptions use that word), knickknacks (10 sales), tchotchkes (2 sales), bric-a-brac (1 sale), or “junk” (6 sales). Explore the map here (where you’ll also find the link to the printable list/guide).

One more note – if you’re selling kid/baby stuff (dozens are!) and have any leftovers, WestSide Baby tells us today they’ll have donation bins outside for dropoffs – their HQ is a big warehouse-type property at 10002 14th SW in nearby White Center. (Any other nonprofits interested in donations of unsold items, let us know so we can mention that!)

Still more previewing to do – and you can scroll through our past previews and other pre-sale coverage by going here. WSCGSD has been a tradition on the second Saturday in May since 2005 – coordinated by WSB since 2008.

Just another quick reminder that the 20th-anniversary West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day is now 24 hours away – official sale hours are 9 am-3 pm Saturday (May 10), and the sales are mapped/described here, where you’ll also find a link to the printable (PDF) list. You can use the search function explained below the online map to create your own mini-list(s) of whatever type of item you’re looking for; since the descriptions are fairly short, searching works best with just one keyword, like toys.

One tradition on Community Garage Sale Day is the lemonade stand, often operated by the youngest members of the household. Lemonade is mentioned by Sales 5, 19, 62, 64, 88, 107, 112, 115, 162, 173, 183, 221, 241, 253, 314, 336, 348, 410, 427, 446, 475, 502, 563. And Sale 521 is promising matcha beverages.

If you just can’t wait to start shopping, a few of the 560+ sales are starting today – search the map for mentions of Friday or Fri. More previews later today!

Time for another quick look ahead to West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day (570+ registered sales) this Saturday! More photos from sellers, showing their spotlight items:

That’s “a Western show saddle with hand-carved leather and sterling silver accents” and it will be at Sale #279. Or how about a classic camera?

You’ll find that “Leica IIIf camera with several lenses” at Sale #133. And from Sale #416:

That’s an “authentic Chanel Handbag in mint condition ~ box, dust jacket & original price tag included.”

Treasures (a word used in 21 sale descriptions) abound, with more than 570 registered sales – moving sales, cleanout sales, estate sales, more. Ready to plan your stops? Here’s the online map; here’s the printable list/guide. And a couple more quick notes:

STILL LOOKING FOR SOMEPLACE TO SELL? We’re still hearing from people who missed registration (we can’t add sales after it closes). If you don’t have a ton of stuff, check if these multi-seller sites still have space.

CHECK THE MAP BEFORE YOU SHOP: Reminder that the map page here on WSB is where we’re noting last-minute changes (such as canceled sales, which we cannot change in the printable list but do mark in the online list, and mini-lists of sale types), so check there before you head out on Saturday!

STAMP OUT HUNGER ON SATURDAY: Another reminder – before shopping or selling on Saturday, if you can, set out a bag of nonperishable food for your postal carrier to pick up as part of the Stamp Out Hunger food drive (you might have already received a bag in your mailbox/slot – that’s a photo of ours above – but if not, any bag will do).

Still more previews to come! Official sale hours are 9 am-3 pm Saturday, but some are adding extra hours and/or extra days – check the sale descriptions.

This year, unlike last year, we haven’t seen anyone promise live music for shoppers on West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day (Saturday, May 10, 9 am-3 pm). But if you’re planning to look for something musical, options abound. Topping the list is the annual Garage Sale Day Sale at Thunder Road Guitars (6400 California SW; WSB sponsor) – the shop’s biggest sale of the year, promising “guitars, guitars, cheap stuff, free stuff!” TRG is Sale #73 on the map. Also mentioning guitars are Sales 102, 153, and 176. Maybe you fancy something more exotic? A didgeridoo is among the offerings at Sale 250 (they have a viola, too, as does Sale 279). Sale 401 has accordions. Five sales mention pianos – 16, 85, 314, 461, and 508. Sales 161 and 405 have DJ equipment. Sale 132 is looking for a new home for an alto saxophone. If you’d rather listen to music than play it, records will be sold at Sales 10, 19, 31, 126, 156, 201, 205, 232, 250, 270, 298, 360, 369, 374, 390, 436, 454, and 537. And in addition to all those, music is mentioned by 11 more sales – 2, 15, 30, 96, 235, 315, 384, 464, 495, 512, and 518. Whatever you’re looking for on WSCGSD – musical or not – you can search the online map by choosing the search icon and searching the description field for your chosen keyword, and you can search the printable list/guide with browser find. More previews to come!

The map/list of sales has been available since Saturday – here’s the link for the interactive online version, and here’s the link for the printable list/guide. Now for the next few days we continue previews – right now, first of two planned today – the more than two dozen sales that listed themselves as benefits when registering.

More preview mini-lists to come! Sale hours Saturday are 9 am to 3 pm, but some start earlier, some end later, and some have added extra days – check the sale descriptions for that info.

Is jam your jam?

Sale #533 has it. Or maybe you love classic cars. We have two sales with those, including this one:

You’ll find that 1966 Mustang convertible at Sale #199. Those are just two of the photos we’ve received since inviting sellers to send us pics of their spotlight items for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, this Saturday, May 10, 9 am to 3 pm. If you haven’t seen the map yet, here’s the link for the interactive online version, and here’s the link for the printable guide (37 pages this year!), with all 570+ sale listings in numerical order. Some shoppers spend the whole day going from sale to sale; some just see what’s happening near their home and wander over. It’s the 20th anniversary edition of the biggest community-garage-sale-day in the city, coordinated by WSB since the fourth WSCGSD in 2008, and we’re looking forward to another awesome day of “person-to-person recycling” and meeting your neighbors. More previews ahead!i

In case you missed it, here’s a quick reminder that we have published the map and sale list for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025 – just six days away, on Saturday, May 10. Here’s the link for the interactive online version, and here’s the link for the printable guide (37 pages this year!), with all 570+ sale listings in numerical order. And check back later in the week, as we’ll be updating the online map’s page with mini-lists, updates on any last-minute cancellations, and whatever else you might need to know. Official hours for the 20th anniversary WSCGSD are 9 am-3 pm Saturday, but check the listings to see who’s starting earlier, who’s ending later, and who’s adding extra days! From northernmost Sale #464 on Duwamish Head (where “small trees” are among the merchandise) to southernmost Sale #10 at Seola Beach (with “steampunk lighting fixtures” among other things), WSCGSD is all over the peninsula, this Saturday.

We are now just one week away from West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025 – on Saturday, May 10 – and as promised, we have finished the map and sale list so you can preview who’s selling what, where. If you haven’t already found it via our site menu or main-page Spotlight Stories, here’s the link for the interactive online version, and here’s the link for the printable guide (37 pages this year!), with all 570+ sale listings in numerical order. Official sale hours are 9 am-3 pm on Saturday, but some sellers have chosen to start early and/or end late, while some have chosen to add extra days (Sunday is the most popular extra day). Throughout the week, we’ll be spotlighting some mini-lists – nonprofit benefits, for example – among other previews. WSCGSD, coordinated by WSB, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year – thanks to thousands of sellers and shoppers for making it a fun day of “person-to-person recycling”!

As we get ready to launch this year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day map and list in less than 48 hours, we have two updates geared toward people still looking for someplace to sell their stuff:

MAARTEN PARK SPACE AVAILABLE: The neighborhood parklet at 42nd/Juneau was already registered as a group fundraising sale – then today we got word they’re also offering space:

West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day! No yard? No problem! Maarten Park will have tables available for anyone who’d like to sign up and sell their treasures! There will also be a birdhouse-making station for kids and a lemonade stand. Donations for table use & birdhouses are suggested, and all proceeds go toward annual park maintenance costs. Text Krystal to reserve your table! 306-703-1041

Read the story of Maarten Park in our coverage of its dedication last year.

FAUNTLEROY SCHOOLHOUSE SPACE AVAILABLE: We’ve mentioned this briefly already, but the historic schoolhouse (9131 California SW) wants to ensure you know the full plan:

We are excited to announce our participation in the 20th West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day on May 10th! Our participation is not just a sale, but a crucial fundraiser to support Fauntleroy Children’s Center, the nonprofit central to our mission. We’ll also have a bake sale, a 50/50 raffle, and more activities so grab the family and start your Garage Sale Day at the Fauntleroy Schoolhouse!

Our teachers have been working hard at work putting together our first sale since we opened in 1978! Take about vintage finds! We have household décor, children’s clothes from infant – 12 years old, so many toys, books, sports equipment, furniture, tools, a beautiful outdoor playhouse and more!

Again, West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day – the 20th anniversary WSCGSD, with 570+ sales of all sizes, all over the peninsula, registered – is Saturday, May 10; we’ll have the (interactive) map and (printable) list available starting THIS Saturday (May 3) here on WSB.

Just 10 days until West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025, this year with a record 570+ sales registered for Saturday, May 10, from Duwamish Head in the north to Seola Beach in the south, from Highland Park in the east to Alki Point in the west, and everywhere inbetween. Here’s what’s happening right now: As WSCGSD coordinators, we’re assembling the map and list so they’ll be ready to browse starting Saturday morning, May 3, one week before Garage Sale Day, so you can make your plan and/or just see what your neighbors are doing – that’s the beauty of WSCGSD, it’s a day for meeting neighbors and celebrating community. Official hours on WSCGSD – celebrating its 20th anniversary – are 9 am to 3 pm, but as you’ll see in the listings, some are starting earlier, some are ending later, some are even adding extra days. Once the map’s out, we’ll publish some subset lists – not just hours/days, but, for example, the lists of sales offering particularly popular categories of stuff, sales benefiting nonprofits, sales offering food/beverages … so keep watch on WSB in the days ahead! (We’re also busy putting up posters and circulating word of WSCGSD around the region.)

P.S. We also want to remind you that WSCGSD coicides again this year with Stamp Out Hunger, USPS letter carriers’ door-to-door food drive, so make a note to have a bag of nonperishable food to set out, if you can, before you get busy with shopping and/or selling that day!

When registration for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025 ended last night at 11:30 after three and a half weeks, more than 570 sales were signed up – a new WSCGSD record! We’ve spent the day reviewing the final registrations for sale day (just two weeks from tomorrow – 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 10!), answering WSCGSD questions, and other work making the database ready to turn into the interactive map and printable guide with the numbered locations and descriptions of those 570+ sales. As always, the descriptions promise a vast array of merchandise – two cars, one boat, bikes, plenty of plants, Santa suits, DJ equipment, accordions, pianos, aquarium supplies, “reptile habitat,” even a precious commodity these days – “fresh organic eggs.” And then there’s the sale offering a Honda Element catalytic-converter cage … If Saturday shopping isn’t enough for you, some sellers have added Sunday, a few have added Friday, and some have expanded hours. Some sales have been named – Kitchenpalooza, Bougie on a Budget – while other listings describe a stage of life (along with moving sales and stuff-the-kids-outgrew sales, we have a “changing chapter” sale and many “downsizing” sales. At least two dozen sales with nonprofit beneficiaries, too. You’ll see it all in the map/guide when they’re ready one week before sale day (the link will be here on WSB and at westseattlegaragesale.com). More updates and previews ahead as we get ready for the 20th anniversary WSCGSD!

Registration for getting your sale on the West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025 map has been open all month, since April 1, and now we’re down to the final hours – registration closes at 11:30 tonight.

5:26 PM: Thanks to everyone who’s signed up already, this should be an incredible day of what we sometimes call person-to-person recycling – Saturday, May 10, 2025 is sale day, and more than 540 sellers are on the list already, all over West Seattle (and a bit further south too). Once registration closes, our work as WSCGSD coordinators moves immediately into putting together the map and guide with the full list of sale locations and descriptions so we can make that all available one week in advance of sale day. WSB has been coordinating WSCGSD since 2008; it was founded in 2005, so this is the 20th anniversary! Want to be part of it? Go here before 11:30 tonight!

EARLY FRIDAY: Closed! More than 570 sales registered … a new WSCGSD record. Full update later today.

West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025 is just two and a half weeks away – Saturday, May 10 – and we’re just about to hit 500 registered sales. We’ve been making lists of the unusual items and descriptions we’ve seen while reviewing listings, but what always strikes us the most is what a wide variety of interests is represented in the items for sale – music, camping, snow sports, water sports, other sports, games, baby gear, kids’ toys, vintage clothing, antique items, and that’s just a start. But right now, the main focus is getting to the end of the three and a half weeks of registration so that we can finalize the list and make the map and listings packet so they’re ready to publish by Saturday morning, May 3. The form is open until 11:30 pm tomorrow (Thursday, April 24) – if you haven’t registered your sale yet, go here ASAP!

Some call their stuff junk, some call it treasures. However you describe what you’ll be selling, just a quick reminder – the registration deadline for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025 is now just two days away. You have until 11:30 pm Thursday to join the 440 sellers who’ve already registered sales – benefit sales, moving sales, cleanout sales, block sales, business sales, more, all over the peninsula, from Alki to White Center, from Pigeon Point to the Arroyos, and beyond. Sale day is Saturday, May 10, 9 am-3 pm (some earlier and some are later, as you’ll see on the map and in the guide when it’s available a week in advance). So if you haven’t registered your sale yet, hurry – you have until 11:30 pm Thursday (April 24) to sign up here!

P.S. Another reminder that we’ve heard of two confirmed sites offering spaces to sellers – if you need a space for a small sale – Fauntleroy Schoolhouse and Hotwire Coffee. Please contact them directly to see if they have space left!

“Is it junk, or is it everything you ever dreamed of?” asks one of the almost 400 listings we’ve received so far as registration for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025 – the 20th anniversary of the first WSCGSD – enters its final days. We’ve reviewed more than 300 of the listings already, and have noted more than 20 fundraisers – from schools to Scouts to service clubs – as well as more than a dozen that will be treat-enhanced (lemonade, cookies, hot dogs, cotton candy, more). One sale is offering kids’ face painting! The big day is now less than three weeks away, on Saturday, May 10, 9 am-3 pm (though some are starting earlier and some are ending later, as you’ll see on the map and in the guide when it’s available a week in advance), from Alki in the north to White Center in the south. (Someone even tried to register a sale in Ballard – sorry, that’s just a bit too far to stretch the boundaries.) If you haven’t registered your sale yet, you have until 11:30 pm this Thursday (April 24) to do it here!

P.S. The confirmed sites offering spaces to sellers – if you need a space for a small sale – remain Fauntleroy Schoolhouse and Hotwire Coffee; please contact them directly to see if they have room and if so, how to get in on that.

If you’re going to join in the region’s largest community garage-sale day – but you’re not registered yet – hurry! The registration deadline for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025 is now one week away, 11:30 pm next Thursday (April 24)! Registration gets you on the map and in the guide for the 20th-anniversary WSCGSD, 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 10 (you can add hours or even days to your sale, but that’s the basic window for everybody), coordinated by us at WSB. More than 330 sales are signed up as of tonight, all over West Seattle and a bit beyond (we have a couple White Center signups so far), and a wide variety not only of merchandise (the sales whose listings we’ve reviewed so far include a boat and a classic car) but also of treats – besides the classic lemonade stands, we have one sale offering sourdough bread and sourdough chocolate-chip cookies! Be part of the fun, meet your neighbors, convert some not-needed stuff into cash. Clicking here takes you to the registration form; whether you’re selling or shopping, check in here on Saturday, May 3, one week before WSCGSD, when we’ll launch the map and guide.

With nine days to go until the April 24 deadline for registering to be on the map for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025, we’re reviewing the listings so we’ll be ready to make the map and guide as soon as the list is final. The first seller to register has an early lead on most-memorable description: “Aging hipsters not cool enough for this stuff – come and get it!” We’ve just hit 300 registrations, and among the most popular types of offerings, a quick search reveals we already have 43 mentions of kid stuff, 31 mentions of art (including the ever-popular annual glass-art sale!), 27 mentions of camping gear, 25 mentions of baby-related items … but even more common than any of those, we have 44 sales with descriptions mentioning “vintage”! Chances are good that no matter what you’re looking for, someone will have it. The big day of sales all around the peninsula is Saturday, May 10, 9 am-3 pm (with some sales choosing to start earlier and/or end later and/or add an extra day). So far we have two confirmed sites that are offering spaces to people who need somewhere to sell their stuff – Fauntleroy Schoolhouse and Hotwire Coffee; please contact them directly if interested. If you’re registering your own sale at your own location, this link will take you to our form! If you’ll be a shopper, watch for the map and guide one week before WSCGSD. More updates to come!

Four weeks from today – on Saturday, May 10, 2025 – it’s the 20th anniversary of West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, one huge day with hundreds of sales all around the peninsula. WSB has coordinated Garage Sale Day since its fourth year (2008); this year, we opened registration on April 1 and will close it on April 24, so today is the midpoint. More than 250 sales of all sizes are registered already, with locations and listings (up to 25 words describing their sale). Once registration closes, we use the addresses and descriptions to make a numbered map and printable guide that will be available one week in advance, so that shoppers can plan where to go – even if you just check out who’s within walking distance and go meet neighbors you don’t already know. It’s a busy day of person-to-person recycling as well as neighborhood mingling. If you’re planning a sale and haven’t registered yet, here’s where to go.

After nine days of registration, more than 220 sales are signed up for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025 – the 20th-anniversary edition of the annual day for what we call “person-to-person recycling,” all over the peninsula. This year’s WSCGSD is on May 10, the second Saturday in May as usual, 9 am-3 pm (you can start earlier and/or end later if you choose to). In addition to all the individual sales signed up, we have school groups, nonprofits, businesses, block sales … and watch for an update tomorrow on multi-seller sites, if you’re looking for someplace to sell YOUR stuff. Registration will continue for two more weeks, through April 24; if you are ready to register your sale, draft your up-to-25-words listing and go here to register! (Also as usual, the WSCGSD map will be available online – in interactive and printable-list formats – one week before sale day.)

After six days of registration, more than 150 sales are signed up for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025 – the 20th-anniversary edition of the annual day for selling and shopping all over the peninsula. WSCGSD is always the second Saturday in May, 9 am-3 pm (you can also start earlier and/or end later if you want to), so this year it’s on May 10. WSB coordinates this event, and so far we have registrations from North Admiral to North Shorewood, Alki to Arbor Heights, Genesee Hill to Sunrise Heights, North Delridge to Upper Morgan, Fairmount Park to Highland Park, Seaview to Westwood, Fauntleroy to South Delridge, White Center to Alaska Junction, and other neighborhoods. Also multiple school groups, scout groups, apartment/condo buildings, and businesses!

If you don’t have room for a sale, the first site to register with spaces for multiple vendors is Hotwire Coffee in The Junction – please contact them directly to see if they have room for more sellers (and if you’re planning a site with room for multiple sellers, register it soon so we can mention it in updates – we always hear from would-be sellers looking for these types of sites).

Planning to be one of this year’s sale locations? You have 2+ more weeks to sign up but don’t procrastinate – you might forget – so draft your up-to-25-words listing and gp here to register! And if you’re planning on shopping, watch for the WSCGSD map to be available online one week before sale day.

After three days of registration, more than 100 sales are already on the list for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2025. Saturday, May 10, will be the 20th anniversary of WSCGSD, and already guaranteed to be a busy day of what we call “person-to-person recycling.” From North Admiral to South Delridge, Alki to Arbor Heights, the registered locations already span the peninsula, with all sorts of offerings (including treat and beverage sales – one sale is offering sourdough chocolate-chip cookies, another plans a matcha-drink stand). As always, WSCGSD is not one big sale, but instead many sales of all sizes, 9 am-3 pm (some starting earlier and some ending later), in hundreds of places around West Seattle, all on one day. If you’re planning to host one of those sales, you have three more weeks to register – then we lock down the list so we can make the map and guide in time for shoppers’ review and planning a week in advance.
