From the Cal Anderson Park Alliance

The Cal Anderson Park Alliance is thrilled to announce the triumphant return of the Capitol Hill Garage Sale Sunday, August 14, after a two-year hiatus. Residents all over Capitol Hill will populate their front lawns, apartment stoops and Cal Anderson Park with heirlooms, antiques, and bric-a-brac for sale as a part of the annual “CAPITOL HILL GARAGE SALE” from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

For this one-of-a-kind neighborhood event, no garage is no problem! Seattleites are invited to join their Capitol Hill neighbors in Cal Anderson Park for five hours of bargain shopping, DJ music, and sun. In addition, shoppers will be able to access an online map of Capitol Hill neighbors who will be simultaneously hosting a more traditional garage/stoop/yard/sidewalk sale in front of their homes. This map and more information about the event will be available on the official Capitol Hill Garage Sale website (capitolhillgaragesale.org) or at the garage sale event information table in Cal Anderson Park on Sunday, August 14.

“This event was created over a decade ago in response to our growing and changing community of apartment dwellers who don’t have access to a front yard or stoop,” said Don Blakeney, nearby resident and Cal Anderson Park Alliance Board Member. “We have thousands of people living within a block of Cal Anderson Park, making it one of the most heavily used parks in Seattle–our vision is that it’s everyone’s front yard.”
Additionally, there will be tasty beverages and treats available at the Capitol Hill Neighborhood Farmers Market just alongside the garage sale (open from 11:00am until 3:00pm). Cal Anderson Park is also one of Seattle’s most transit accessible public spaces, sitting at the intersection of both city and regional mass transit. The Seattle Streetcar and Link Light Rail bring people from downtown Seattle, the U District, Northgate, and South Seattle to this park in the heart of Capitol Hill.

The Capitol Hill Garage Sale Day is one of Seattle’s longest-running community garage sales and is celebrating its 13th anniversary. This event continues to be 100% community and volunteer driven and wouldn’t be possible without the support of Seattle Parks & Recreation, the Cal Anderson Park Alliance and the Capitol Hill Seattle Blog.
The 13th annual “CAPITOL HILL GARAGE SALE” will take place on Sunday, August 14, starting at 10:00 a.m. with an outdoor sale of over 50 vendors in Cal Anderson Park. Individuals without a garage or front yard have signed up for a space to sell in the park. Others who live on Capitol Hill and have space at their homes to vend have registered to be on the official garage sale map for the day.
