The West Seattle Tool Library is open at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center space (east side of main building).

Tue/Thu: 5 pm–8 pm
Sat/Sun: 11 am–4 pm

West Seattle Tool Library provides free, community access to a wide variety of tools, training, and sustainable resources. Utilizing a diverse collection of over 1,500 tools, our membership has successfully grown entire community orchards, built mini-greenhouses, and even just mowed their own lawns. From basic tasks to brilliant innovations, the projects accomplished by the West Seattle Tool Library’s 780+ members have made all the tools in the collection proud to be working again.

If there is one simple fact that may just change your thoughts on renewable power, it’s this one.

In a single hour, the amount of power from the sun that strikes the Earth is more than the entire world consumes in a year.

“Solar Punk” is the festival theme, which envisions a future where community and technology are integrated to create a self-sustaining system. In this event, attendees will learn about alternative self-sustaining ways to work and power their daily lives. It is an iconic one-day event that celebrates the best of Burien and empowers the community by bringing eco-friendly businesses together to showcase what they do and connect them to the community as potential employers. Business, Arts, and Culture are the three most powerful drivers of community participation and engagement in Burien and the pillars upon which the festival is based. The proceeds from The Burien Solar Punk Festival will be utilized to support: Key Tech Labs Green Jobs Expo, Mini Jobs Fair, Small Business Expo, funds for a new micro solar system, and stipends for the youth Green Pre-Apprenticeship Program participants.

Solar Punk Festival attendees young and old will get to experience various Green Technologies. Three examples are our an air to water generator, solar microgrid system and a FarmBot. The air to water generator extracts moisture from the air and converts it into water. The solar microgrid system generates energy from the sun. The FarmBot is an open-source CNC machine that can be programmed to water, seed and weed automatically. Come on and join us because “The Future Is NOW and The Future is GREEN! “

(Thanks to Matt Hedlund of Wanderlust Nursery, a West Seattleite who’s a vendor at the fair, for telling us about it.)

in the heart of West Seattle until Covid forced its closure in 2020. Now West Seattleites
once again have a convenient weekend drop-off location just steps from the heart of
Alaska Junction,” said Michael Scalzo, SVP of Operations at Big Blue Truck. “We are
passionate about collecting our community’s gently used clothing items to support
children and adults with disabilities. We believe being back in West Seattle will have
both a sustainable and mission-led impact on the community for generations to come.
A big thank you to our partners WaFd, Value Village, and PrintItForward.net for being
instrumental in our return to West Seattle!” said Tess Connor, Chief Growth &
Operating Officer at Northwest Center.

Donations made to Big Blue Truck support Northwest Center’s education and
employment programs for children and adults with disabilities. By donating, residents
not only help children and adults with disabilities but also promote environmental
sustainability through recycling and reusing goods.

Big Blue Truck welcomes donations of:

 Gently used clothing

We have a local workout location that meets at Hiawatha park on Tuesday mornings at 5:30 am sharp.

We’d love to extend the invite to men of any fitness level – we work out as a group and don’t leave anyone behind, come as you are and hopefully leave a bit better.

The workout is 45 minutes long and then we all get coffee at West Seattle Grounds. You don’t need to bring anything special, just wear comfortable athletic clothes appropriate for the weather and some sneakers. Some work or gardening gloves can be helpful if you have a pair. Just don’t be late or the whole group is doing penalty burpees.
