Problem: West Seattle neighborhoods include lots of passionate urban gardeners yet many urban neighborhoods don’t come with the big toolsheds.  

Answer: The Tool Library!  Following many urban communities like Portland, OR , Berkeley, CA and West Philly, PA, West Seattle is opening a tool lending library on June 12th!  Populated with mostly donated items, houshold and garden tools are available for temporary use at the unbeatable price of pay-what-you-can.   According to Sustainable West Seattle more than just being a convenience the West Seattle tool lending library is intended to encourage residents to engage in sustainable practices including growing foods and participating in park restoration projects.  The tool library is sponsored by Sustainable West Seattle using a grant from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods.  It is located in the north end of South Seattle Communty College.
