If you have electronics, furniture and clothing sitting around that needs to be repaired, don’t trash them – bring them to the free Repair Café on Sept. 26 at Federal Way City Hall.

From 3-6:30 p.m., skilled “fixers” will be available to help you repair or mend your damaged or broken items. More than 2/3 of the items at previous events were repaired at the event.

Residents are encouraged to sign up in advance and describe any small household items they plan to bring in. Only bring items small enough to be easily carried in by one person.

Walk-ins are welcome and everyone will be assisted as time and space is available.
