A free community repair event 🔧🪡

Instead of throwing something out or letting it collect dust, bring it by one of our repair events in/near Seattle. From toy trucks and pressure washers to coffee machines and jackets, we’ll try almost any challenge you throw our way!

Please note that we have a couple of different reoccurring Fix-It Nights:

🧰 Our regular Fix-It Nights give you the opportunity to bring in broken household goods.
🧵 Fabric Fix-It events welcome you to bring in clothing and related accessories that need mending.
✨ Some of our Fix-It Nights are funded by the Neighborhood of Matching Fund from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, and we’ll offer a variety of services, including fixing, mending, and/or sharpening! These occur in larger community hubs.

Right around the corner is a Fix-It Night funded by the Neighborhood of Matching Fund, which means our Fixers and Menders will both be present to support you! Please be sure to RSVP, as we have a limited capacity at each event.

To use less water, wait to run your dishwasher until it's full.

Cleaning dishes in a dishwasher is also much more efficient than washing by hand. A dishwasher uses 4-10 gallons per load, while washing by hand can use 20 gallons!

Community-based sustainable hubs in Seattle ♻️🫶

In order to create a space that truly benefits you, we need to hear your voice!

Our Reuse Commons journey has just begun with our pilot space in Lake City, and a location in South Seattle is in the works (planning phase). Your feedback will directly shape these spaces.

At a foundational level, Reuse Commons spaces are meant to create convenient community destinations for sustainable living through secondhand retail, repair services, classes, and shared resources.

Our survey takes about 10–15 minutes, and you may enter your email at the end for a chance to win one of six $25 gift cards.

📝 Take the Reuse Commons Community Survey: forms.gle/9xJiyT5qbKyjBdSG9

You may also find the survey on reusecommons.org > Menu > Community Survey > Click here to take the survey.

We are incredibly proud to be surrounded by a growing team of community-centered organizations, including NE Seattle and Shoreline Tool Libraries, Furniture Repair Bank, Alexandra Kurhan, Seattle ReCreative Greenwood, and Redyoos. Once we find a few more organizations to join us in the space (application on website), we’ll have official open hours for Reuse Commons Lake City.

Reuse Commons is an initiative of the City of Seattle Government (City of Seattle Government and Seattle Public Utilities), led locally by Seattle REconomy (North) and Furniture Repair Bank (South).

Thank you so much for your support, and we’re looking forward to building these spaces with you!
