Why are there so many boats in Elliott Bay? Don Armeni Park is full.

Hi, there’s actually a tweeted photo in our garage sale coverage – turns out today was a one-day shrimp season in Elliott Bay until 3 pm. Will be publishing something separate after 3. Didn’t know about it in advance, but someone asked us about it a few hours ago and I found the info.

Don’t forget to drop by the St. Vincent de Paul donation truck 🚚 that is currently parked in the Holy Rosary parking lot at 42nd and Genesee! You can make room for all your cool 😎 finds at the West Seattle garage sale by getting rid of your surplus clothing and lamps, etc.! We’ll be here until 5 and happy to accept stuff that didn’t sell too. We provide receipts for your tax deductible donations!!!

Sorry, comment time is over.
