Registration is closed for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2026, and it’s going to be huge!

After three weeks, registration is closed for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day on Saturday, May 9. This year has again broken the WSCGSD record – more than 660 sales of all sizes, all over the peninsula, all with descriptions you’ll find in the guide we’re working on right now as well as the map. Two things to know: Registration really is closed – we cannot add any more sales. And if you think you’re looking at the map, no, you are not – this year’s map will not be available before Saturday, May 2, one week before sale day, as usual. The official time window for sales is 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 9; some sales start earlier, some end later, some have extra days – you’ll find that in the sale descriptions provided during registration. And thanks for the fun descriptions which have kept us smiling during registration review – “overseen by cute dogs”; “memorabilia to miscellany to unmentionables”; “we bought it, forgot it” … even if you’re not shopping, the guide will be fun to browse. WSCGSD updates to come!

Is it too late to register as an individual? Our block did it last year but one of our neighbors organized it. I didn’t realize there was a registration deadline! :(

I didn’t realize there was a deadline either :(

You can still do your sale and put up signs. It’s won’t be on the official map, but many people (like me) just drive around going sale to sale, since there are so many.

As a buyer, where would you recommend I start at for parking? I’m not familiar with the area yet.

The sales are all across the peninsula, so parking will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. As per my knowledge, Shorewood (especially on 26th Ave SW with sidewalks, closer to the elementary school) is always generous with free street-side parking. Don’t know how many sales will be in the area, but we’ll be there! :)
