Garage-sale season starts!

The official start of spring is still a week away, but garage-sale season gets off to a running start tomorrow and Saturday, with two megasales at West Seattle churches: One is at West Side Presbyterian Church (3601 California SW). 9 am to 5 pm Friday and 9 am-2 pm Saturday, church members are selling linens, books/CD’s/records, antiques/collectables, clothing, vintage and better labels, craft/holiday decorations, garden items, tools, furniture, household goods, salesman samples from the kitchen and home industry. Photos have just been posted – here’s a big collection. Also, Tibbetts Church is having its semi-annual rummage sale, 9 am to 4 pm Friday and 9 am-3 pm Saturday, with clothing, books, linens, kitchen supplies, sporting goods, yard and lawn tools, furniture, and collectables, 41st SW/SW Andover. This also gives us the opportunity to remind you that WSB is sponsoring this year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, Saturday, May 10; we will soon announce the dates for and other details of registration — and we’ve got the stirrings of a website going at westseattlegaragesale.com. Hope you’ll be able to join the fun!

    Nice work WSB. We’ve been thinking of doing this up here on Capitol Hill (jealous of the phinney ridge sale every year!).

    We can’t take the credit – it was hatched a few years back by Megawatt, a WS community organization that decided to close earlier this year and kindly accepted our offer to take over The Big Sale – we theorize that organizing a Big Event will be something like organizing all the Big Broadcasts we used to handle in our old life, so we’ll see how it goes. The Phinney/Greenwood one is indeed apparently the citywide granddaddy (grandmommy) of ’em all.

Sorry, comment time is over.
