Description
At this free community repair event, skilled volunteer "fixers" will try to repair and mend household items and clothing! They will also have special kids' activities and info tables for Earth Day, which is the next day, April 22.
No reservations or appointments, but an advance sign-up gives priority over walk-ins or second items. One signed-up item per person. Presented by King County Solid Waste Division.
To request an advance sign-up, or if you have questions, contact event coordinator Tom at tom.watson@kingcounty.gov or at 206-477-4481.
At repair events, fixers will try to work on small household and personal items (including some electronics and small furniture), as well as clothing and textiles.
No cell phones, tablet computers or microwaves. Nothing that uses gasoline. No knife or tool sharpening. No lengthy reconstructive repairs. No major clothing alterations. Items brought in for repair, including clothing, must be clean.
The fixer team may decline to work on any item – in advance or at the event – depending on the item, the type of repair needed, the fixers available, or for other reasons.
