Frequently Asked Questions

What is PhinneyWood Garage Sale Day?

Garage Sale Day is an annual neighborhood-wide event for neighbors to sell their stuff and/or spend a day yard-sale hopping and shopping. PhinneyWood residents can host a sale in their yard/garage. Anyone may reserve an outdoor “booth” at the Flea Market in the Phinney Center lower parking lot. The PNA publishes an online mobile map for shoppers to find and visit the sales in the neighborhood. 

How does the Flea Market work?

Each flea market space costs $50 and includes a 10×10 outdoor space in the lower parking lot at the Phinney Center. If you want a canopy you must bring your own. We have a limited number of tables available to rent for $10.

You can reserve a maximum of 2 spaces and they will be placed side by side. If you do not want them side by side please register for them separately.

You will receive your booth assignment and set up details on May 7.

Flea Market set-up begins at 7AM, sales open at 9AM and the market closes at 1PM.

Parking: Flea Market vendors can bring vehicles into the adjacent parking lot to unload quickly, but will need to park on the street for the event.

Vehicles are not permitted in the Flea Market space. Exceptions can be made before the event for folks with mobility issues.

What is the PNA Garage Sale Map?

The map shows the locations of garage sales throughout the Phinney/Greenwood neighborhood. Shoppers use the map to find the sales they want to visit. It will be published to the public closer to the event

What if I don't live near the Phinney Center?

Anyone in PhinneyWood is welcome to list their garage sale on the map. (PhinneyWood boundaries are from the Zoo to 105th and 8th Ave NW to Aurora.) The most successful sales tend to be between 8th Ave NW & Linden Ave N and 85th St & 65th St. You can also sign up for a spot in the Flea Market in our parking lot.

Where can I take things that I don’t sell?

Donations can be taken to the nearby Goodwill store at 8th Ave NW & NW 65th St.

How is Garage Sale Day publicized?

The PNA advertises Garage Sale Day in local news publications, distributes posters and flyers, and promotes the event on our website, newsletter, PhinneyWood blog and social media. However, word of mouth is often the most effective form of advertising. Tell your friends and refer them to phinneycenter.org/garagesale for more
information.

What if it’s raining?

Garage Sale Day will be held rain or shine. Please note that registration fees are non-refundable.
