FreecycleSeattle serves Freecyclers who live or work daily in City of Seattle ONLY. If you're outside the Seattle/Mercer Island city limits, you'll want to join a different Puget-Sound-area Freecycle Group. Here are some of our nearby groups - and the major areas they cover - that may be more appropriate for you than the Seattle-only group:

North King County (Shoreline, Lynwood, Bothell, Kenmore, and Edmonds): FreecycleNorthKingCounty

Central King County (Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and other Eastside areas): FreecycleCKC

South King County (Renton, Burien, Tukwila, SeaTac, Kent, Auburn): FreecycleSouthKingCounty

Snohomish County (including Everett): FreeycleSnohomishCounty

There are also many other Freecycle groups in the Puget Sound area, including Vashon Island, Bainbridge Island, the Kitsap Peninsula, and several in Tacoma/Pierce County.

If you DO live in the City of Seattle or Mercer Island, join the FreecycleSeattle group immediately by visiting:
