Swap N Share Give New Life to Old Items

The quarterly Swap ‘N Share events in Issaquah Highlands represent a significant initiative aimed at fostering sustainability and community engagement. Spearheaded by local entrepreneur Catherine Bhattachar, these events encourage residents to exchange items they no longer need, promoting a culture of reuse and recycling. By giving old items a new lease on life, the program not only reduces waste but also enhances community interactions among residents. The events create a welcoming environment for neighbors to connect and build relationships, fostering a sense of belonging within the community. These gatherings reflect the city’s commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness, addressing critical issues related to waste management.

Residents are encouraged to actively participate by bringing items to swap and engaging with fellow community members. This initiative highlights the importance of collaboration in achieving a sustainable future, making a positive impact on both the environment and community cohesion.
