Sunday, August 17th will be a fun day in Cal Anderson Park and around the neighborhood as “Seattle’s longest running community-wide garage sale” returns. Yup, it is time for Capitol Hill Garage Sale Day:
The Capitol Hill Garage Sale returns Sunday, August 17th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Cal Anderson Park! This annual event is Seattle’s longest running community-wide garage sale and regularly features over 100 people selling their treasures in Cal Anderson Park in addition to many independent garage sales at homes across Capitol Hill.
The Cal Anderson Park Alliance hosts the Capitol Hill Garage Sale in partnership with the Seattle Parks and Recreation, and the Capitol Hill Seattle Blog with the aim of activating Cal Anderson Park while giving Hill citizens a day to come together, shed some extra belongings, do some recycling and meet neighbors!
For more general information on Cal Anderson, follow us on Instagram or Facebook or sign up for email alerts from the Cal Anderson Park Alliance.
Registration is NOW OPEN for selling in the park on August 17, 2025: https://forms.gle/8HC6xU8yjgbE3E9d9
If you would like to participate in as a volunteer or please reach out through the Cal Anderson Park Alliance website.
2025 will mark the 18th or so year of the event to the neighborhood — depending on how you count it. The annual day for neighborhood yard, sidewalk, parking strip, and garage sales has been part of Capitol Hill since CHS first organized the CHGSD in 2007. These days, the folks at the Cal Anderson Park Alliance keep the flame alive.
A recent addition to the day will also return this year with the Pike Street Sidewalk Sale featuring participating merchants up and down Pike/Pine joining in on the Garage Sale Day festivities with sales and promotions.
