The King County Repair Time program will have people experienced in fixing various things.  Bring in your small household items and clothing and their "expert fixers" will try to repair and mend them for free!  The first Repair Time Fix-It Event was held in August, 2016 at Valley Ridge Park, where the group worked on 51 items and fixed, or helpfully diagnosed, more than 90 percent of them.

Please only bring items small enough to be easily carried in by one person.  Do not bring any items that are leaking, dangerous, contain gasoline, or have a strong odor.  Clothing and other textiles you bring in for mending should be washed first.

Please sign up in advance if possible to let the group know what you plan tp bring, so their fixers can be prepared.  For specialized repairs, please bring any specific parts or materials needed for your repair.

You must be present during the repair.  There is no assurance an item can be fixed, or that attempting to fix it won't break it even more.

To sign up, or if you have questions about any King County repair events, please contact Tom Watson at 206.477.4481 or email at Tom.Watson@KingCounty.gov.  The Repair Time Fix-it program wants to keep stuff out of the landfill, conserve resources and save you money.  You can find information about the repair events at www.KCecoconsumer.com.  Just click on the Repair Groups photo.
