Phinney Ridge and Greenwood Garage Sale – September 12th

Phinney Ridge and Greenwood Garage Sale – September 12th

Garage Saleing in Seattle's Phinney Ridge

Get ready for over 100 garage, rummage, alley, and sidewalk sales around the Phinney and Greenwood neighborhoods on September 12th from 9am-3pm (no early birds!!!)  There will be kids sales, tool swaps, and even flea markets. The full detailed neighborhood garage sale map is linked here: Phinney Ridge Super-Mega 2009 Garage Sale

The Phinney neighborhood center will have several specials sales right in the upper and lower center parkings lots.

Phinney Upper Parking Lot

A flea market and tool swap will be held in the lower parking lot.

Phinney Community Center Lower Parking Lot

The 65th Street Preschool Co-Op will hold a gently used sale in the Community Hall.

A second-hand sale will be held at the Greenwood Senior Center.

Seattle Garage Sale

Any remaining items after the sale will be available for pickup by Goodwill for a charitable donation and tax-deductible receipt in the lower parking lot from 10am-7pm on September 12 and 9am to 6pm on September 13th.

This is a great event both to build community, avoid trashing useful items, earn a little extra cash, and save money right in the neighborhood.  It’s truly a win-win for all involved including the sponsoring charities for the unsold items.   Just shopping the “pre-sales” we got a great professional grade photographer’s tripod for only $15 in an alley sale, while meeting some great neighbors.

Have questions?  Call 206-783-2244 or the Phinney Center’s website.
