Seattle REconomy is a nonprofit promoting sustainability and community through access to tools, ranging from drills and shovels to sewing machines and pressure cookers. There are also classes every month for bikers, gardeners, woodworkers, and everyone in between. On top of that is their seed library, workshop, bike repair station, and reuse store. Their resources, classes, and events are available to everyone regardless of place of residence or income.

This April, they are offering all new members a 15% discount to use at their ReUse Materials Shop, so come on down! They have two locations: The NE Seattle Tool Library and their new Shoreline Tool Library. The NE Seattle Tool Library is most accessible to UW students because it can be reached by taking the 372 bus that runs around campus.

Becoming a member is easy, and it can be done online or in-person. They have volunteers and a laptop at both tool libraries to help you out. All they ask for is an optional membership donation ranging from $0-$750 depending on what you can afford. Proof of income is not necessary. You can also volunteer with them once/month for an in-kind membership.
