Swap N Share Give New Life to Old Items

The quarterly Swap ‘N Share events in Issaquah Highlands provide a valuable opportunity for community members to engage in sustainable practices by exchanging unwanted items. These events not only promote environmental responsibility by reducing waste but also foster a sense of community and trust among participants. Each event is organized with a setup period for swappers, a dedicated swapping time, and an open hour for the public to take items, ensuring accessibility and engagement for all. With a limit of 20 items per person, the swaps encourage mindful consumption and decluttering while maintaining a fair exchange process. At the end of each event, attendees are invited to take home any unclaimed items, further contributing to waste reduction.

The Swap ‘N Share events are scheduled quarterly, featuring specific themes for each swap, such as toys and books in January, clothing in May, outdoor gear in July, and holiday decor in November. This initiative not only provides quality items to the community without the need for purchases but also enhances the overall community spirit.
