Happy Birthday, Gwen!Topic: Car tabs – expired
Just drove thru a stretch from end of WS Bridge (35th & Fauntleroy) up to Trader Joe’s.
Saw at least 2 cars with WAY expired license car tabs. One was 2 years old, one was about a year old.
Trying to understand why I pay mine each year for fear of ticket & being a tax paying citizen and this tiny example of what is more than likely a wider spread issue. What gives ???
People, pay your car tabs or give me some reasons why not. Cause I feel foolish for paying mine all these years if you know something I don’t.

WSTL has more than 1,000 Members

WSTL Hiring Qualifications
Passion for DIY projects, tools, and serving community Members

Skills to acquire, maintain, organize, categorize, store, price, and sell tools in Library circulation, Workshop or Basement Storage
Hiring TimelineThe WSTL Board is seeking to hire at least one paid or volunteer Tool Librarian ASAP; the position(s) will remain open until filled
Hours
The tool library is open Tue, Wed and Thursday 4:45 to 8:15; and Sat, Sun – 10:45 am – 4:15 pm. There are three options for a work schedule:

The following stories were submitted by WSTL Members for a 2023 grant proposal:
“WSTL is a pillar for our community, providing not only the tools, but sharing the
knowledge necessary to complete the tasks.”“Sharing tools with neighbors helps me feel like I’m in a supportive community where people care about one another and where we do things together.”
“The first 6 months of being homeowners we were fortunate to have utilized the tool library at least every other week. The staff were so helpful, friendly and we were able to meet neighbors during drop-off and pick-up. This is one of the best resources West Seattle has to offer to its community.”
“Some of the first friendly faces I met in West Seattle were at the tool library! As a brown woman folks often do not expect me to be able to fix things around the house myself. The volunteers at the tool library treated me with respect. Successfully executing these house projects gave me a lot of confidence in my own abilities and pride in my home which allowed me to be a more engaged neighbor.”
“I love the WSTL so much. It teaches repair, it makes woodworking and building accessible to a much wider group. …WSTL also aims to inspire people to participate in community projects such as park restorations and pursue sustainability through fun projects like backyard gardens, home energy improvements, water harvesting, and other environmental projects.”
“In our family, WSTL has been an invaluable resource. When we bought our house, it needed many repairs, but hiring professional contractors would have stretched our budget too thin. Instead, we turned to WSTL, where we were able to borrow all the tools we needed, from power drills to ladders. Furthermore, WSTL’s workshops and educational resources empowered us to tackle these repairs ourselves, helping us to save a significant amount of money while also gaining new skills.”
Candidate Process:
Visit the WSTL website: wstools.org
Visit the WSTL facilities (4408 DELRIDGE WAY SW, SEATTLE WA 98106) during business hours, let one of the Librarians know you are a potential candidate to be a paid or Volunteer Librarian and ask to be shown around
