West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day and the rest of today/tonight’s local lineup for your Saturday

Yes, some garage sales do happen in garages ..

That’s from Lisa at Sale #356, and this is from Bobby at Sale #59:

Those are two more of the preview pics we received from sellers (see others, featuring unique items, by scrolling through this archive) leading up to today’s marquee event:

WEST SEATTLE COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE DAY: This isn’t just any old WSCGSD, it’s the 20th anniversary, and it’s another record-setting list of sales. More than 570 sellers signed up. As is the case every year, we’ve had some last-minute cancellations; the numbers are in the updates and links atop the WSB page where you’ll find the clickable map (if you’d rather use the printable PDF guide/list, find that here). Sales are all over the peninsula, all sizes, all types; official sale hours are 9 am to 3 pm, but some start early, some end late, some even plan to continue tomorrow. See the sale descriptions as well as locations on both versions of the map, and even if you just stroll to the sale nearest you, have a great day! We’ll start as-it-happens coverage at 9.

Now, today’s other West Seattle happenings – mostly from the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar:
