List of Addresses For This Week-end's Neighborhood Garage Sale

This week-end is the first annual LaurelhurstNeighborhood Garage Sale on Saturday and Sunday from 9-2pm.

If you would still like to participate, just put some signs up directing people to your house.

Here is the list Katie, the neighborhood coordinator, sent to us and she said probably about 10 more houses will just be joining in:

• 4531 46th Ave NE
• 4411 55th Ave NE
• 4822 NE 41st St
• 4525 NE 41st St
• 4905 NE 40th St
• 4723 NE 54th St
• 3919 48th Ave NE
• 51st Ave NE/NE 44th St

Katie told us that she's posted signs in the neighborhoods surrounding Laurelhurst, as well as at Tully's, Starbucks, QFC and Metropolitan Market. She also requested the information be posted in various neighborhood blogs. She submitted an ad on Craigslist and she also paid for ads on Seattle Weekly and GarageSalesTracker.com.

Katie has also put large posters at the entrances to the neighhood listing all the addresses she's received so far as well as an arrow sign at the end of each person's street.

If people feel like they want or need more signage, then Katie said they are of course free to add, to ensure customers are able to find their homes easily (especially if they are on a 'hidden street').

Thanks to Katie for coordinating this big neighborhood garage sale. Hopefully there will be lots of shoppers and no rain.

Laurelhurst Neighborhood Garage Sale Set For Week-end Of July 16th and 17th

Laurelhurst is having its first all neighborhood garage sale, thanks to reader Katie, whose idea we posted about a couple of weeks ago.

Several interested people contacted Katie followig the post and Katie has now set a date for the sale.

Katie writes "We are going ahead with the throw open the garage doors and see what happens!"

Anyone is welcome to participate. Just let Katie know your addreess and before the dale, put out some directional signs along with your for sale items at your home on the specific days of the sale, July 16 9am-4pm and Sunday, July 17 9am-2pm.

Katie and helpers may also put out additional directional signs around the neighborhood to help shoppers navigate between the garage sales at the various homes.

She says "I am hopeful that most people will be able to follow signs around the neighborhood and locate homes that are participating."

Katie's informational email being circulated says:

Start sorting your 'treasures' and use this as an opportunity to purge your home!


Great way for the kids to make a little spending money of their own for the summer--I tell my own kids that any old toys they sell, they get to keep the $$ (you'd be surprised how many old toys go out the door!).


Feel free to tell your friends and neighbors--everyone is invited to join in!

If you would like to participate please send us email at laurelhursblogger@gmail.com and we will put you in touch with Katie.

Neighborhood Garage Sale Anyone?

We recently received this email from a reader:

I'm newer to the neighborhood--wondering if Laurelhurst does a "Neighborhood Garage Sale" like many of the surrounding areas. 

I've got lots of things I need to purge and was wondering if any other people wanted to throw open their garages on the same weekend.

Please email us at laurelhurstblogger@gmail.com and we will put you in touch with the reader.
