West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day 
Mary said
I was #114 in the Community sale and I was very dissapointed in the results. If it wasn’t for our neighbors, we wouldn’t have made any money at all and then it was under a $100. I don’t believe I would participate again because unless your in the main area where they begin, no one stops by. The map was very unclear and should be put in some type of order by addresses, there was no rhime or reason to the way it printed out. List all address by area instead of being sporatic with them. I’m glad I had this opportunity but won’t do it again next year. Glad you made money for your charities though, thanks, Mary

Thanks for the feedback, Mary! We have numbered the addresses from 1 in the north to 200 in the south but would always be interested in thoughts on how it could work better. Last year we grouped the address lists with the map sectors but it seemed like crossreferencing would be enough – if not, then we can go back to the other way next year, although we may even find a better mapmaking program by then. – Tracy
