The city of Federal Way will host its second Repair Café on May 24 from 3-6:30 p.m. at Federal Way City Hall (33325 8th Ave. S.).

Bring your broken lamp, blender or chair in for fixes, or haul over any clothing that needs sewing up. Skilled “fixers” will be on hand to help repair or mend your damaged or broken items.

Residents are encouraged to sign up in advance and describe what small household items they plan to bring in. Walk-ins are also welcome, and everyone will be assisted as time is available.

Only bring items small enough to be easily carried in by one person. Please do not bring items that are leaking, dangerous, contain gasoline, or have a strong odor. You must be present during the repair. No guarantees an item can be fixed, or that attempting to fix it won’t break it even more. For items needing product-specific parts, fixers will try to determine what’s needed so you can finish the repair yourself at home.

This event is brought being put on by the King County EcoConsumer program, the city of Federal Way and the South King Tool Library. Help keep stuff out of the landfill, conserve resources, and save money!

To sign up or for information, contact Tom Watson, King County EcoConsumer, at 206-477-4481 or tom.watson@kingcounty.gov.
