It’s been a busy morning, but as promised, we finalized the map and list for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2026, and have published both the interactive map an the printable list of sales (a record 644 sales, 38 pages!). See the map here; the printable list is linked there, but here’s the direct link. It’s also available via the WSB menu (look for GARAGE SALE DAY MAP). To recap:
-WSCGSD is always (since 2005) the second Saturday in May – this year, that’s May 9th
-Official sale hours are 9 am-3 pm, but as you’ll see in the listings, some are starting earlier and/or ending later, and some are adding extra days
-The listings are those of sellers who registered between April 1 and April 22 – all sizes and types of sales, all around the area!

What we do from here is continue to get the word out – we do that in myriad ways, including WSB stories plus posters and ads – and since we’ve had the benefit of having read all 640+ listings, we will be making lists of sales with certain features or focuses. We’ll also get a note out to sellers later today including, if interested, the template for your “Official Sale” sign. Updates to come!

West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2026 is one week away from tomorrow, on Saturday, May 9. As usual, we will have the 600+-sale map ready for previews one week in advance – so that means tomorrow, Saturday, May 2. So if you just can’t wait to see who’s having a sale near you, plot your route, or – for sellers – get your number, check here on WSB by 8 am Saturday. When the map – both clickable version and printable sale list – is ready, we’ll announce it in a story here on the WSB main page (barring major breaking news), and we’ll also add it to the WSB site menu, so you’ll find the direct link to the map page there until WSCGSD is over. The map page also will have important updates – added throughout the week – such as links to lists of sales with certain categories of items, sales that will be open extra days, post-publication cancellations, etc.

One week from Saturday – on May 9th – it’ll be this year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, with another record number of sales registered, more than 660! WSCGSD – which we’ve coordinated since its fourth year in 2008 – is NOT one big sale, but instead, sales of all sizes, all types, all over West Seattle (and beyond, including White Center and South Park). We’re in the midst of making the map and list featuring those 660+ registered sales, as well as making notes for smaller lists that might be interest to shoppers looking for particular types of items … this info is based on the listing info that sellers included on their registration forms. Looking for baby gear? Kid stuff? Clothing? Camping gear? Fishing gear? Puzzles? Games? Plants? Cookware? Jewelry? Art? Pet stuff? Home-office stuff? Even … ephemera? (Five listings use that word!) All that and much more (also a popular listing phrase), waiting to be found, 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 9 – if you’re interested in shopping earlier, later, or adjacent days, there’ll be listings with that info too!

Now a question: It’s also a longstanding WSCGSD tradition to donate leftover stuff to nonprofits if you can. But first, we need a list of nonprofits who welcome post-WSCGSD donations (we’ve heard from one so far), so if you’re associated with one that would be, please email us at westseattleblog@gmail.com – let us know what you’d be interested in, and where/when people could drop it off.

And a reminder – the map and list will be available here on WSB by Saturday morning (May 2) – besides a story announcing it, we’ll also add it to the menu for that day and the ensuing week, so you’ll be able to find it more easily.

From “curated chaos” to “stuff you didn’t know you needed: to “weird and wonderful” to “spring purge,” more than 660 sales of many sizes, types, and motivations are in the works for 2026’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, on Saturday, May 9th – the most ever. The registration window ran for three weeks and closed this past Wednesday night; now we’re taking the registered sales and giving them numbered spots on a map and list, with their addresses and descriptions (other information provided in the registration process is NOT made public). The map and list (the latter is printable) will be available by Saturday morning, May 2, so shoppers have a week to plan where they want to go. We’re also promoting WSCGSD in myriad ways; over the years we’ve heard of shoppers coming from as far away as Eastern Washington. And during the next week, we’ll send registered sellers an email update including your template for the “official WSCGSD sale” sign if you want to put one up at your location. In the week before WSCGSD, we usually publish lists of sales, by number, grouped under a specific type of item (for example – camping, puzzles, plants, baby gear, nonprofit benefits, businesses, sales with lemonade stands or other treats, and so on), as well as the list of sales with an extra day (Sunday is the most common, but we have a few planning to start Friday). Anyway, we have to get back to map-and-list-making … for the latest on WSCGSD, bookmark this archive section, and the most-recent story categorized as WSCGSD will always be the first thing you see.

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!

Saturday, May 9, is this year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, and today (Wednesday, April 22) is the deadline for registering your sale to be on the map. After registration ends at 11 pm tonight, we won’t be able to add any more sales to the map/list (which have just hit 600 sales for the first time in WSCGSD’s history). So if you’re intending to have a sale but haven’t registered yet, please go here now! We’ll announce when the map and sale list are ready, aiming as always for one week before sale day – this year, that means map day is Saturday, May 2. Then get ready to sell (and/or shop) 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 9! (Some sales start earlier, some end later, some plan extra days – watch for that in their up-to-20-word descriptions as provided during registration.)

Planning a sale on West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day – this year on Saturday, May 9 – but haven’t registered yet to be on the map? Don’t wait – once we close registration at 11 pm tomorrow (Wednesday, April 22) we can’t add sales. Just go here to register! As of moments ago, we’re past 520 sales, with the most-recent creative sale descriptions including “midlife refresh” and “KitchenPalooza,” plus a seller whose entire description is in Dr. Seuss-style verse. Notable items from recent signups include curtains, a pickleball net, camping space heater, raspberry freezer jam, and a 1992 Mustang (yes, most years there are a few people selling cars on WSCGSD). If you’re planning to shop on WSCGSD – a springtime tradition since 2005, coordinated by WSB since 2008 – you can look for the map and sale list announcement here on WSB starting the morning of Saturday, May 2, one week in advance, so there’s time to plan – even if you’re just looking to see whose sale is closest to where you live, so you can walk over and meet a neighbor! Get ready for a day of person-to-person recycling, 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 9.

Since we opened registration for this year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day back on April 1, more than 460 sales have been registered! If you’re planning to join them but haven’t signed up yet, just three days remain – our three-week registration period ends at 11 pm Wednesday night, April 22nd. Memorable sale descriptions keep rolling in – one seller admits, saying they’re sellings lots of puzzles because “I’m out of control with my puzzles and I need to pass them on.” Then there’s the sale that’s admittedly to “raise money for college.” Or perhaps you’ll want to check out the sale full of “unrealized art projects.” Or the one with “clothing, shoes, accessories that teens might consider cool.” It’ll all be on the map and in the guide with all the sale listings, including any extras like the dozen or so sales (so far) that plan to start Friday and/or continue Sunday, the day after WSCGSD, which is Saturday, May 9 – just under three weeks away – 9 am to 3 pm. Some sellers are starting early, some staying open late, and you can look for those details as well when we publish the map and list one week in advance of sale day – Saturday, May 2. Sales will be numbered, so that day is also when sellers will find out whether they’re #5, #50, or #500 … so if you are ready to register, please go here!

We’ve passed 400 sales registered for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2026, coming up Saturday, May 9, 9 am-3 pm! One of the most-creative descriptions in recent days, out of the up-to-20-words descriptions: “Estate sale meets curated chaos.” From Brace Point to High Point to Pigeon Point to Alki Point, from Highland Park to South Park, from Genesee Hill to Snake Hill, from Sunrise Heights to Arbor Heights, you’ll find sales all over the peninsula. Some shoppers just look for the nearest one and walk over to say hi to neighbors; some make a list of multiple spots to hit; West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day is whatever you make of it. (Some shop for and/or with their furry friend in tow, which is why another seller invites you in their description to “Stop by and bring your dog for a treat!”) Registration remains open until next Wednesday night, April 22, at 11 pm, and then we plunge immediately into making the map and list so they’ll be available on Saturday, May 2, one week before WSCGSD. This is Seattle’s biggest community sale day, founded in 2005, coordinated by WSB since 2008. Ready to register? Got your description ready? Go here!

One week from tonight – at 11 pm Wednesday, April 22 – registration for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2026 ends, and our sale map/list work begins. We’re going on 375 sales so far, so this year’s tally will certainly top 400 – how many more depends on the number of would-be sellers waiting till the last minute to decide. Amazing variety of sales again this year as usual, and a long list of interesting items we’ve noted while reviewing and proofreading listings. Among the latest: Alpaca scarves, a drone, a crab pot, a vintage alto saxophone, a handmade iron wine rack, a dory, classic typewriters, an outboard motor … If you have something nobody is likely to find anywhere else, be sure to mention it in your up-to-20-word listing when you register, which you can do right here, right now.

THE BASICS: WSCGSD, founded in 2005 and coordinated by WSB since 2008, is the second Saturday in May – Saturday, May 9, 9 am-3 pm (you’re welcome to start earlier and/or end later, just include that in your listing; if you plan to continue Sunday, mention that too), sales of all sizes, all over West Seattle (and a bit south – we have some in White Center, South Park, and Top Hat too). We’ll make the map and list available online one week in advance (so look here on May 2).

Now more than halfway through registration time for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2026 – if you haven’t registered your sale yet, you have nine more days, until late the night of Wednesday, April 22 – then we start making the map and list for the big day, always the second Saturday in May, and this year that’s May 9. Almost 350 sales signed up so far – venues so far include yard sales, patio sales, planting-strip sales, driveway sales, sidewalk sales, courtyard sales, business sales, school sales, block sales, corner sales, church sales, table sales, and of course, garage sales! The types of sales span a wide range too – moving sales, downsizing sales, kid-outgrew-everything sales, kid-going-to-college sales, de-cluttering sales, plant sales, remodeling-leftover sales, memorabilia sales … It’s a day of person-to-person recycling and meeting neighbors … watch for the map and list to be announced here one week before sale day! Need to sign up your sale? Go here (and be equipped with your up-to-20-words description of why yours is a sale not to be missed!).

Four weeks from now – on Saturday, May 9 – we’ll be in the waning official moments of West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2026 (though some are staying open later or even continuing their sales the next day). We are also midway through registration, which opened the morning of April 1 and is closing the evening of April 22; we’re almost up to 300 sales now, as usual, all sizes, all around the peninsula (plus some a bit south/southeast of West Seattle, in White Center, Top Hat, and South Park). We’ve been reviewing/proofreading the listings and noting creative descriptions and unusual items – among them, the seller who describes their sale as a “pop-culture fever dream of vintage ephemera and modern kitsch” and the seller who declares theirs to be a “baby blow-out – the good kind!” plus the seller who promises a “modernist aesthetic from an obsessive thrifter.” Besides all the individual sales, we’ll have block sales, multi-family sales, and a few multi-seller sites that have participated in past years too (including Hotwire Coffeehouse and C & P Coffee).

If you’re planning a sale but haven’t signed up yet, the deadline is 11 pm Wednesday, April 22 to do it, but don’t run the risk you’ll procrastinate and forget until it’s too late – get your up-to-20-words listing ready, and go here to register! Whether you’re selling or shopping, watch for the WSCGSD map to be available online – in clickable and printable-list formats – on May 2, which is one week before sale day.

After eight days of registration, more than 250 sales are signed up for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2026 – which is exactly one month away. Saturday, May 9, is this year’s date for what we call “person-to-person recycling,” all over the peninsula – from Alki to The Arroyos, Fauntleroy to Highland Park, plus some White Center and South Park sales too. WSCGSD is the second Saturday in May as usual, 9 am-3 pm (you can start earlier and/or end later if you choose to). Along with all the individual residential sales signed up, we have school groups, nonprofit benefits, businesses, block sales, even a P-Patch sale (the return of the Solstice Park P-Patch Plant Sale, one of several plant sales registered so far). We have been reviewing listings and making promotional notes as always; eye-catchers include the “Granola Moms Sale,” “Designer Deals on the Lawn,” a sale with a musubi pop-up, one with arcade games to play while you’re there … and of course, tchotchkes, bric-a-brac, and knickknacks promised by various sales too.

So if you’re planning a sale but haven’t signed up yet, you have until Wednesday, April 22 to do it, so when you’re ready (be sure you have your up-to-20-words listing ready), go here to register! (Also as usual, the WSCGSD map will be available online – in interactive and printable-list formats – one week before sale day.)

We are five days into registration for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2026, the second Saturday in May as always – this year that’s May 9 – and 200 sales of all sizes are already registered!

WSCGSD is one day with many sales of many sizes, all around the peninsula, open at least 9 am-3 pm on sale day (earlier and/or later if sellers choose to). Registration for WSCGSD gets your sale a spot on the map and in the listings guide, which we publish a week before sale day and promote regionally.

We already have sales from Alki to White Center, Fauntleroy to Highland Park, Pigeon Point to South Park; townhouse sales, senior-living-center sales, nonprofit sales, moving sales … another great WSCGSD is definitely shaping up. Registration runs three weeks this year – through April 22 – so if you’re planning a sale, whenever you’re ready with your up-to-20-word sale listing – go here to sign up!

“Come plunder the treasures of a general contractor’s storage unit.” That’s from the description of one of the most recent registered sales for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day for 2026, now five weeks away – 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 9. (Some sales might start earlier and/or end later – that’s up to sellers – but the official time span is 9 am to 3 pm.) This is the fourth day of our three-week registration window for WSCGSD, with more than 140 sales signed up so far (another recent registrant promises “rad stuff!” and the variety of items sellers are offering in the listings we’ve previewed runs from comics to cookware to cribs, furniture to fashion, much more). If you’re ready to register a sale – here’s where to go. As always, the map and sale list will be ready to preview one week in advance, so that’s just four weeks away. (That’s when you’ll read more creative descriptions, including, “The sale you wish you went to first!”)

On night two of registration for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 2026, we are already up to 100 sales – a bit ahead of the pace from last year, when the 100th sale was registered at the start of day three. So far we have a variety of sizes and types, including the return of some past favorites like the Art Glass Sale and the Solstice Park P-Patch plant sale, and sales in neighborhoods from North Admiral to Greenbridge, Alki to South Delridge, plus sales whose hosts are moved to describe them with adjectives such as “ephemeral,” “whimsical,” even “designy.” Sale day is always the second Saturday in May, 9 am to 3 pm, so that’s May 9 this year; if you’re planning a sale, go here to register before end-of-night April 22; that’s when we get busy making the map and listing guide so it’s available for previewing one week before sale day! (And be sure to have your up-to-20-words sale description ready when you register, too.)

As planned, we’ve just opened registration for this year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, coordinated since 2008 by WSB. WSCGSD is the second Saturday in May as always – this year that’s May 9 – and if you’re planning to have a sale, here’s where to register.

If you haven’t heard about West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day before – it’s one day with many sales of many sizes, all around the peninsula, open at least 9 am-3 pm on sale day (earlier and/or later if sellers choose to). WSCGSD is not the only neighborhood sale day in Seattle, but it’s become the biggest. Registration for WSCGSD gets your sale onto the map and into the listings guide, which we publish a week before sale day and promote regionally – shoppers show up from as far away as Eastern Washington!

You can sign up any time you’re ready over the next three weeks. Same classifications and fees we’ve had for the 20+ years we’ve coordinated WSCGSD. Before you register, be ready with your up-to-20-word sale listing – think about what you’re selling that’s popular and/or unusual, for example. Any questions, email westseattleblog@gmail.com or call/text our hotline at 206-293-6302. Updates to come (including whatever we hear about multi-seller sites offering space for people who have small sales/no place for a sale – if your venue plans to do that, please tell us ASAP so we can incorporate it into announcements)!

By this time tomorrow, registration will be open for this year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day! WSCGSD is always the second Saturday in May; this year, that’s on the early side, May 9. Official hours are 9 am-3 pm, but sellers are welcome to start earlier and/or end later (some even add days) – just be sure to include that in the description when you register your sale. WSCGSD is not one big sale but rather hundreds of sales of all sizes, all over West Seattle (often a bit to the south, too), residences, businesses, schools, nonprofits, block sales, whoever and wherever! WSB has coordinated WSCGSD since 2008 (it was founded by a long-gone community organization in 2005), and after three weeks of registration, we start making the map and list so they’ll be available a week before sale day. So watch WSB for the registration link when it’s ready to go on Wednesday!

P.S. If anyone’s offering spaces for very small sales this year, we haven’t heard from them yet – but we’d love a heads-up at westseattleblog@gmail.com – thank you!

What’s in YOUR basement/attic/storage unit/storage bins? Maybe something you don’t need any more – if you ever did – would be an amazing treasure for a West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day shopper. Or maybe you just have stuff someone else would find useful – dishes, outgrown kids’ clothes, toys, books … Whatever you might be considering selling – or looking to buy – the biggest shopping/selling day of the year is coming up, West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, coordinated by WSB, 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 9. The first step toward a fun sale day is for sellers to register to get their spots on the map – same fees we’ve charged for 18 years – and registration opens in exactly one week, on Wednesday, April 1. It’ll be open for about three weeks, so you have some time to decide, but if you know you’re having a sale, write that up-to-20-word description and be ready for our registration announcement in a week! After we close registration, we get busy making the map and list, which will be available online one week before WSCGSD. Thanks to everyone who makes this a fun day of meeting neighbors and finding treasures!

Sale season – garage sale, yard sale, deck sale, sidewalk sale, wherever – is almost here, and so is registration time for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day (coordinated by WSB since its fourth year in 2008). This year’s sale day is Saturday, May 9 – always the second Saturday in May – and registration opens on Wednesday, April 1 – so this is your two-week warning! WSCGSD is not one big sale, but instead, hundreds of sales of all sizes (500+ last year), all around the peninsula. Sellers sign up with addresses and sale descriptions (up to 20 words) for a small fee (same fees as always – no price increases ever!); we make a map and listing guide, available in clickable and printable versions, published one week before sale day so shoppers have a chance to make a plan. It’s not just about selling and buying; we hear from people every year who just look to see where the nearest sales are, and walk over to meet more neighbors. Registration will be open for three weeks, but we advise signing up sooner rather than later, since every year we hear from people who procrastinated and missed the window (we have to get working on the list right after closing registration, and can’t make late additions). On April 1, you’ll see an announcement here, with the link, when registration begins!

Whether you’re selling or shopping, if you’re planning to be part of West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day this year, we are here to remind you it is exactly two months away: always the second Saturday in May, and that’s relatively early this year, Saturday, May 9! WSB has coordinated WSCGSD since its fourth year (2008); it’s not just one big sale, but rather hundreds of sales of all sizes (more than 500 last year) all around the peninsula and a bit beyond, depending on who decides to sign up. We’ll open registration on April 1 and keep it open for a little over three weeks; watch for the announcement here when we’re ready, then get ready to browse, buy, and/or sell 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 9, 2026!

All sorts of spring dates are suddenly close – our clocks “spring forward” an hour one week from today, and spring officially arrives on March 20. One other date to throw into the mix – we are exactly one month away from the start of registration for West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, coordinated since its fourth year (2008) by us here at WSB! April 1 is when we open signups for WSCGSD, which is always the second Saturday in May – this year, that’s Saturday, May 9, 2026. WSCGSD is not one big sale, but rather an occasion for hundreds of sales all over the peninsula (most years including a few to the south in White Center, North Shorewood, and vicinity too), at houses, apartment complexes, schools, businesses, all sorts of venues. We produce a numbered map and sale list, with registration opening at the start of April and lasting 3+ weeks; the map (both printable and clickable versions) is available one week before sale day. Ours wasn’t Seattle’s first Community Garage Sale Day, but it’s become the biggest. So if you’re planning a sale, look for the registration announcement on April 1, and then be ready to sell and/or shop and/or just meet your neighbors, 9 am-3 pm Saturday, May 9, 2026!

This time of year, most of our “countdown” reminders are about holiday events. This afternoon, an exception to that rule: We’re exactly six months from next year’s West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day – Saturday, May 9, 2026. It’s always the second Saturday in May, ever since the first year in 2005 (we took it over in 2008), but before each year is out, a few people inquire about the date, so we publish the occasional reminder. If you’re a new arrival, WSCGSD is not one big sale, but rather an occasion for hundreds of sales all over the peninsula (most years including a few to the south in White Center, North Shorewood, and vicinity too), at houses, apartment complexes, schools, businesses, all sorts of venues. We produce a numbered map and sale list, with registration opening at the start of April and lasting 3+ weeks; the map (both printable and clickable versions) is available one week before sale day. Ours wasn’t Seattle’s first Community Garage Sale Day, but it’s become the biggest. So if you’re setting calendar reminders for next year, May 9, 2026 – six months from today – is the next WSCGSD.
