Community Garage Sale Day and other notes for your sunny West Seattle Saturday

Leading the list of what’s happening as your weekend begins – West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2023 is here!

Some started early, like Gladys at Sale #73, where they’re raising money for The Mount. This is the first year that more than 400 sales registered to be on the map, which you’ll find here, along with links to the printable list and mini-lists we’ve published this week – benefit sales, big sales, business sales, plant sales, pet-item sales, and sales expecting to offer lemonade stands (and what a day for them). Also check that page for announcements and last-minute cancellations. Whether you’re selling or shopping, if you have a fun photo, email or text it (please include the sale #). Updates all day!

Also on the list for today/tonight, mostly from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:

    The link on the map page taking you to who is taking donations post sales doesn’t go to any information about it.

    • WSB May 13, 2023 (8:20 am)

      Fixed, sorry.

    Just went by, along with a few others, to 6542 42nd Ave SW, which listed their sale starting at 7 AM. No signs of anything happening there.

    • WSB May 13, 2023 (8:23 am)

      I apologize; that was my error – they sent word early on that they decided instead to start at the regular time and I made the change on the online map but not the printable version. Have belatedly added that caveat on the map page, which I had intended to do sooner.
