(Bellevue) King Co. Repair Event
September 7, 2024 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Bellevue Library, 1111 110th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004, USA
Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/870932534055983
At free community repair events, skilled volunteer "fixers" try to repair and mend your small household and personal items.
For any of these events, there are no reservations or appointments, but an advance sign-up gives priority over walk-ins or second items. One signed-up item per event per person.
To request an advance sign-up for a specific event, or if you have questions, contact event coordinator Tom at tom.watson@kingcounty.gov or at 206-477-4481. Emails are best. Specify the event, and the kind of item you have. More info at https://kingcounty.gov/repair-events
Items that can potentially be worked on at these repair events include household and personal items that are small enough to be carried in by one person, including certain electronics, small furniture and clothing/textiles.
No cell phones, tablet computers or microwaves. Nothing that uses gasoline. No knife or tool sharpening. No lengthy reconstructive repairs. No major clothing alterations. Items brought in for repair, including clothing, must be clean.
We may decline to work on any item - in advance or at the event - depending on the item, the type of repair needed, the fixers available, or for other reasons.
For many types of items, area businesses offer repair services for a fee. These businesses are listed in the King County repair businesses directory, which has 18 different categories. Support those businesses, if you can!
Program partners include: King County Library System; the Bellevue-based Chinese youth organization Little Masters Club; and Bellevue-based Indian American Community Services .
Thanks everyone for your support of repair events, which reduce waste and conserve resources!

Typical items include heaters, sewing machines, waffle irons, blenders, mixers, electric bikes, extension cords, lamps, audio gear, and more. There are hardware stores nearby if you need to fetch parts. There is also a professional knife sharpener on hand, and we expect to have sewists to mend and hem clothing. The PNA Fixers meet regularly at Greenwood Hardware on the first Wednesday of every month, 3–6 pm.

September 21, 2024 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Liberty Lake Municipal Library, 23123 E Mission Ave, Liberty Lake, WA 99019, USA
Hosted by Spokane Zero Waste
What's a Mend-It Cafe you ask? It's a community organized and run event where you can get your clothes and other textile goods repaired or repurposed. It's also a way to grow a repair economy, divert textile waste from landfill and join communities around the globe engaged in reuse and repair over replace.
Here's how these events typically will work:
Bring an article of clothing to be repaired
Check in and get paired with a mender
Watch as your mender brings new life to your garment.
Below is a list of the things we can fix.
1. Fallen Hems
2. Broken Zippers
3. Torn Garments
4. Simple Alterations
5. Sock Darning
