1) Overlook Yard Sale & Free Share (July 20-21)
Doing some spring cleaning and noticing items you’re ready to part with? Thinking you might want to do a yard sale this summer? Then mark your calendars for this year’s Overlook Yard Sale & Free Share, July 20-21.
By organizing our yard sales together as a neighborhood and coordinating advertising we attract more visitors and buyers. We also get to know our neighbors while offloading lightly-used items from our homes and keeping still-useful items out of the landfill.
If you’re interested in participating, fill out the short online sign-up form. We will combine everyone’s entries into an interactive Google Map that will anonymously advertise sale locations so that deal hunters can find you on yard sale day. We will publish this map the week leading up to the event as well as advertise throughout the neighborhood and online.
Once you’re signed up, start pulling the items you’re ready to part with. Then set up shop in your yard, garage or doorstep on Saturday, July 20.
If you don’t sell everything, we will have a free share the next day (Sunday, July 21). Anyone can put items curbside, even if they didn’t have a sale, and offer it up as free to neighbors.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Josh at sustainable@overlookneighborhood.org.
This event is organized annually by the Overlook Neighborhood Association’s Sustainability Committee.
2) I-405 N off-ramp to N Kerby closes next weekend
The ramp from I-405 to N Kerby Avenue will close next weekend from 8 p.m. Friday, June 14, to 10 a.m. Monday, June 17. Please plan your trips accordingly and expect delays in the area.
The recommended detour is to go south on I-5 to Weidler and then come up N Williams Ave. Don’t be surprised, though, if some travelers instead choose to come north to Skidmore/Alberta.
