Trick or tree-t! Got a spooky stump or a tree limb that’s giving a haunted forest? Don’t let it scare you! The West Seattle Tool Library has chainsaws you can borrow to tackle those tree-mendous yard projects. Stay safe and have a tree-rific Halloween!

Thanks to Seattle City Councilmember Rob Saka @CMRobSaka for stopping by the West Seattle Tool Library! We appreciated the chance to show him around, answer questions, and share how West Seattle neighbors support one another through tools, knowledge, and community.

Seattle rain is here! When using power tools outdoors, keep tools, cords, and electrical connections dry, and always use GFCI protection. Never use tools that are wet or damaged. Stay safe, and when the weather gets too wet, take a rain check!

Fall is in the air—and apples are everywhere! Got an apple tree that’s working overtime? Turn that fall harvest into fresh homemade cider with a cider press from the West Seattle Tool Library! Reserve the cider press: wstl.myturn.com/library/inve…

Rainy season is almost here! Now’s a great time to clean those gutters, clear leaves and debris, check for leaks, and make sure your home is ready for wet weather. Need a ladder, shop vac, caulk gun, or other tool? Check WSTL before heading to the hardware store!

Meet Toby. He's been teaching our milling class for 4 months and loves helping others get comfortable with tools. Outside WSTL, he runs a construction company, coaches Little League, fishes, and enjoys time with his pets. Thanks, Toby, for sharing your skills with our community!

We received a special member testimonial this month: "We sanded and refinished the existing cabinets, installed new LVP flooring, brand new trim/baseboards, new countertops... without you guys we would have been buying these tools that we definitely didn't need to have full time"

Summer won’t last forever! Make the most of the sunshine by tackling those outdoor projects before the rain returns. Paint the fence, refresh the patio, or tidy up the yard—and borrow the tools you need from West Seattle Tool Library!

Meet Jenny, a WSTL’s board member! Jenny focuses on fundraising to bring new tools, programs & services to our community. She found WSTL after accidentally damaging a treasured telegraph key belonging to her late father. WSTL helped repair it! Thanks, Jenny, for all you do!💚

Get ready for the new school year with a few DIY tasks: tune up a bike, repaire lunch boxes and backpacks, or add a simple hook or organizer. Not sure where to start? Drop in during a fix-it session and ask our volunteers for advice. We’re happy to help!

Summer projects often mean more time on a ladder—whether you're painting, cleaning gutters, trimming branches, or harvesting fruit from trees. Always maintain three points of contact while climbing: two feet and one hand. It helps keep you stable and reduces the risk of falls.

Only use a tool a few times a year? Borrow it instead of buying.

We're excited to share that the WSTL has received a ReThink Waste Grant from @SeattleSPU and @WasteManagement! It will help us expand our Fix-It sessions, maintain and repair tools, and keep useful items out of the landfill. Thank you all for making this work possible.
