No West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day this year, but if you have your own sale later this summer …

| Community Garage Sale Day | Coronavirus | West Seattle news

If not for COVID-19, today would have been the 16th annual West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, the one event each year that we present/coordinate. But like so many other organizers of the big spring/summer events, we had to cancel or event. Today, like so many WSCGSDs, it’s sunny and warm, perfect day for being outdoors … but we hope you’ll instead enjoy the sun safely – walking, bicycling, running, etc. Garage-sale fans and sellers can look forward to May 8, 2021. Before then – if it’s safe to have sales later THIS summer, remember that you’re welcome to post yours in the WSB Community Forums‘ Freebies/Sales/Trades section. (If you don’t have a log-in for the forums, go here.)

After participating for so many years, it was a bit strange to wake to this day and not be setting up for the sale. Staying safe is certainly more important.Thank you WSB for the years of organizing this for all of us.

I’m so glad we can celebrate a proper mother’s day now instead of experiencing an exhausting weekend! The benefits of having the sale is great, the weekend chosen is the pits.

As a mom, I dislike the date choice as well. We all know events like this take “all the mom’s” to make it happen, love the event just wish it didn’t take over Mother’s Day weekend every year. Maybe consider a date change?

…and that “date change” question has been endlessly asked (including many times with the username “WS Mom” attached to it), answered, debated, thoroughly and clearly explained with a lot of other WSB commenters agreeing with the answers and explanations, yet it keeps getting asked/suggested.
