Sustainable West Seattle staging a tool library 'Test Run'
Fri, 05/28/2010
This Satuday, May 29th, from 9AM till 2PM at South Seattle Community College horticultural center (north side) you can
be amongst the first to borrow a tool from the West Seattle Tool Library, SWS Members are being asked to come to South Seattle Community College this Saturday, May 29th, for a "test run" of the West Seattle Tool Library. The group will also be accepting tool donations.
They do not accept fossil fuel/gasoline powered tools and tools should be in working order. If they don't have a tool you are looking for, they will be providing referrals to local businesses where you can rent tool they don't have or buy the ones you find yourself needing more often.
