(Awaiting you at Sale #58, which just sent this photo while setting up)

Good morning and welcome to West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2016! Looks like our longrunning streak of sunny WSCGSDs is taking a break this year, but Northwest hardiness shall prevail; take a sweater – or maybe you’ll find one at a sale! The basics, one more time:

*320+ sales all over West Seattle, all mapped in two ways:

(Sale #3 just sent this photo after setting up)

Online map: Get it here – click any line on the right-side list to open a sale’s info-bubble with its description, and/or maneuver around the map (zoom in/out controls are at the lower right) to explore a specific area, and click a marker to open that sale’s info-bubble. Search for sales mentioning a particular term (clothes, toys, tools, etc.) by clicking the search icon at top right on the map and choosing “description” as the area to search.

Printable/downloadable map: Get it here (19-page PDF) – it includes all sale listings in numerical order (each sale has the same number on both versions of the map) and map sections north to south.

Our final preview published early today on westseattlegaragesale.com has a variety of lists, including block sales; we’ve also published a list of benefit sales.

(Added – overview of Hotwire courtyard as setup continues)

And a reminder that the annual multi-seller sites are the courtyard/lot at #193/#194 Hotwire/Ginomai (California/Genesee) and #28 C & P Coffee (5612 California SW).

Sellers who want to donate unsold items later today rather than putting them back away – or buyers who want to do a good deed and purchase items to donate! – will find options here (including book and clothing drives benefiting local schools).

Questions? Photo to share from your sale or your shopping journey? We’ll be monitoring the WSCGSD mailbox at garagesale@westseattleblog.com all day while out covering the sales.

P.S. Don’t forget to put out your bag of nonperishable food for the letter carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger food drive before you shop or sell! We’re finishing ours right now.
