… and you are still welcome to send yours (editor@westseattleblog.com), since as much as an in-progress report on WSCGSD, this site is also meant to be something of an archive, and we’d love to have your sale memorialized here too!

Looking for yarn? Sale #9 has plenty! They’ve been tweeting about their sale, including this comment of note: “I’m still in a little disbelief that people aren’t buying books at our garage sale… comment was that nobody buys paper books now.”

Sale #251 – 10404 34th SW, benefiting Arbor Heights Co-op Preschool

westseattlegaragesale — Sat, 14 May 2011 20:12:57 +0000

We think this one is the sale with the largest number of participants – more than 100 families, if we recall correctly from registration, benefiting Arbor Heights Co-Op Preschool, which is part of the great network of cooperative preschools around the area. They promised some even-better deals after 1 pm, so if you see this in the last two hours of the sale, another reason to head south to Arbor Heights!
