Countdown! 11 weeks until 10th annual West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day

We’re starting to get questions about registration for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2014. The mega-sale day is exactly 11 weeks from today – the second Saturday in May, as always – which this year arrives on May 10th. If you’re a new arrival, it’s not one big sale, but rather numerous sales of all sizes, all around the peninsula; more than 250 sales each of the past few years. – (Here’s part of our coverage from last year.) The organization that started it closed in 2007 and agreed to let WSB take it over starting in 2008 (more history here), so this will be our seventh year coordinating and publicizing it, the tenth year overall for the event. Registration will open in early April – we’ll announce the date once it’s finalized. Sale hours on May 10th will be 9 am-3 pm as always. Favorite thing we hear afterward is how many people enjoy meeting neighbors, seeing old friends, making face-to-face connections, and that’s priceless.

These sales are fabulous not only for buyers but for sellers. There are so many different types of things out and so many buyers looking. We find it is perfect for getting things sold that we might otherwise have to list & better than having a garage sale on another date. We are looking forward to it!

No kidding. I missed the chance on February 10th to write “exactly three months” so after getting another question about registration, decided to write this today, and the “eleven weeks” part sounds so close! The synergy of 10th annual, on May 10, is fun too. – Tracy
