Seattle Share Fair

Learn how to use all these services:

• Car Sharing

• Bike Sharing
• Tool/Stuff Sharing
• Land/Garden Sharing
• Space Sharing

Gain easier access to thousands of tools and household items, workshops, cars, media, and even land for gardening. You’ll also learn how to personally start up similar services, just in case you’d like to have a Tool Library in your own neighborhood. The Seattle Share Fair is the place to get started!

[Sorry for the late notice everyone, I just found out about the event]

You may have recently heard the terms collaborative consumption, meshing, or the sharing economy. Basically, this is just a fancy new vocabulary for the time honored practice of sharing with your friends and neighbors.

But now local services are springing up everywhere to promote the practice and provide inexpensive or even free access to almost all the various things you might need in your everyday life. Through these services, it’s now more attractive and simple to share with both your inner circles as well as neighbors you haven’t even met!
