Learning about the West Seattle Tool Library, as the team shows visiting councilmember around
District 1 City Councilmember Rob Saka visited the West Seattle Tool Library, a community resource with over 3,700 tools available for borrowing, during a tour on Friday. The library, which has surpassed 80,000 loans in its 15-plus years, has a wide variety of donated tools, including car and bicycle maintenance equipment, sewing machines, and yard/garden tools. The Tool Library runs on an annual operating budget of $100,000 and relies on membership fees and donations to continue its services. It offers classes in addition to tool borrowing, but programming could expand with more personnel and space.
