Neighborhood Garage Sale!!!

Calling all Crown Hill Neighbors to participate in our Third Annual  CHNA Garage Sale.  About 50 households participated last year with loads of cool stuff. Great way to meet your neighbors.

Garage Sale Signs

Is your house overflowing with clothes, furniture, toys, appliances, etc which could find a home with one of your neighbors or garage sale cruisers? Want an excuse to buy those 70’s bell bottom pants? Remember, one household’s junk is another’s treasure! This is your chance to buy or sell, and a wonderful opportunity to mingle with the crowds. Last year’s sale had over 50 participating selling households.

Do your kids need an excuse to set up a lemonade stand?

Check back at http://crownhillneighbors.org on June 25th, and we’ll have an online form so you can include your address and a short description of what you’ve got. We’ll have an online map and list of participating addresses with the descriptions you provide. (UPDATED: You can sign up here, and the online map of garage sales is here)

It’s definitely time to start setting your merchandise aside, and plotting joint sales with neighbors so you can take turns visiting other sales.

Questions about the sale, please contact Jen: jen@crownhillneighbors.org or (206) 898-0191.

Welcome to Our New Web Site

Thanks for visiting. After a slow start our new web site is officially open for business. We hope you’ll find the site easy to navigate and chock full of vital information and news about your Crown Hill neighborhood.

We created the site using WordPress blogging software. We have turned on comments on many articles to facilitate conversations between neighbors. If you choose to add your comment to an article,  please keep it good-natured and civil (trolls will not be tolerated). For those of you technical wizards, RSS feeds are enabled for the web site, so you can subscribe to the feed and get up-to-the-minute notification of new and changed articles (I use the Brief add-in for Mozilla Firefox to subscribe to RSS feeds, and am not familiar with either Safari or Internet Explorer, so I can offer no guidance there).

We are planning to add new features as time permits. We are volunteers, so please be patient as we move along.  If you have suggestions for improvements please let us know at webmaster@crownhillneighbors.org.
