Help Keep the Washington State Swap Meet Free for Everyone!
The WA State Swap Meet has become a tradition — a three-day, open-air marketplace where local vendors, families, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs come together. It’s always been free to the public, because we believe community events should be accessible to everyone.
But keeping it free isn’t free for us. Every year, we cover tens of thousands of dollars in expenses — from insurance and security to advertising, equipment, and cleanup. We’ve worked hard to keep it going, but it’s getting harder to sustain without community support.
This year, we’re asking you — our friends, neighbors, and Swap Meet fans — to help us raise $10,000 to keep this event alive and thriving.
Your donation will help cover:
Security & safety staff
Waste management & sustainability efforts (TZW – Towards Zero Waste)
Advertising to bring in shoppers and vendors from across the state
Equipment rentals, staging, and entertainment
Why give?
Because the Swap Meet isn’t just an event — it’s a community builder. It’s where local businesses find customers, nonprofits raise awareness, and families spend the day exploring together. If you’ve ever discovered a great find, met a new friend, or enjoyed live entertainment here, you’ve experienced what makes it worth saving.
How you can help:
Donate any amount — truly, every dollar counts.
Share this page with your friends and family.
Come to the event Sept 12–14 and show your support in person!
Let’s keep the WA State Swap Meet going strong — free for the community, powered by the community.
