Originally uploaded by junkoffjohn

We’ll have a handful of cancellations and additions, but the Capitol Hill Garage Sale Day roster is now posted for your planning purposes. There are about 80 treasure-filled reasons to come check out the sale on Saturday at locations across the Hill. Learn more at CapitolHillGarageSale.com.

Our community space for ‘landless’ apartment dwellers (as one participant put it!) and others who wanted to take part in a central rummage sale location will be in the empty lot at Pine and Belmont. We’re quite proud of putting the space back to use and filling it with something interesting for at least one day.

Full map for the day is in progress. In the meantime, here are some highlights from the roster:


  • Art work, signed and first edition books, mens clothing, Hallmark collectible Christmas ornaments, oak dining set, crystal, pottery, historic Seattle playbills and lots more!
  • Furnish your new apartment at our garage sale! We have upholstered chairs, tables of various sizes, a futon frame, a practically new and fully functional Krups espresso machine, functional microwave and toaster oven, lamps (desk, table, floor, and pendant), area rugs, glassware. Plus classic retro men’s clothing, external frame backpack, tent, old-school cloth sleeping bag, beer brewing paraphernalia, film projector and folding screen, music and mic stands…and (you guessed it) much more!
  • Almost entirely old seltzer bottles, the kind from old 3 stooges movies. I have dozens! They’re great bar decor, vases, potential lamps? Hopefully also real seltzer water if you just want a drink…
  • We’ll have snowboards, clothing, kids bicycles, books, baked goods and more! 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Service Board, a mentoring program for Seattle’s youth.
  • A disco ball, a Japanese school girl uniform, some other random items :)

1) This garage sale day idea is really taking hold! Thanks Justin!

2) If you have any camping etc gear left over at the end of the day, try offering it to Tent City (they’re presently behind the AM-PM at 23rd/Cherry): they were very happy to receive a couple of old tents of mine.
