Next Saturday is THE day – West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2016, 9 am-3 pm May 14th! And we’ve finished mapping the 330 sales that are signed up – sales of all sizes, all over West Seattle, all sorts of stuff on sale – so you can start planning.

The map’s been linked from the official WSCGSD site for a few hours, as well as from the navigation bar here on WSB, and now that this unexpectedly busy news day has calmed down, we’re announcing it here too – find the clickable online version here, with the printable/downloadable version to follow.

The map page includes info on how to use it, if you’re a WSCGSD first-timer (it’s the same software we’ve used for the map for a few years now), but we also are happy to answer questions – e-mail our special WSCGSD mailbox, garagesale@westseattleblog.com.

A few more notes:

INFO FOR SELLERS: The e-mail and postal-mail “packets” are headed out tomorrow. Speaking of postal mail …

STAMP OUT HUNGER: Every year, since WSCGSD is on the second Saturday in May, it’s also the same day as the USPS letter carriers’ annual door-to-door, mailbox-to-mailbox food drive Stamp Out Hunger. You might even have received a special bag in your mailbox this past week. But you can use any bag to put out food for letter carriers to pick up on May 14th, so please consider doing that before you head out to sell or shop.

BOOK AND TEXTILE DRIVES: WSCGSD is always a big day of giving as well as buying and selling. Along with giving by shopping benefit sales, this year’s donation opportunities (for leftovers and/or items bought specifically to donate) include a book drive and textile drive benefiting students – look for details on those by the start of the week.

More previews to come – but again, the big thing right now is the map, which includes sale descriptions, and you’ll find it here.
