Northwest (Seattle, WASH) Bartering, Trading, and Borrowing General

I want to start this off by asking and encouraging anybody in Washington, Oregon, or even California to participate in this.

- I am looking for a person who could allow me to use a dehydrator, and/or stovetop (I will calculate and cover the electrical costs).
-In the future I would like to trade my crops: Garlic, Potatoes, Tobacco, and potted fruit trees. I am just getting settled in right now so I am only really networking right now.
-I would like to create a community for vehicle sharing.

Have you got in mind any 'rules' of cooperation in place or in mind.
They always help to reduce problems that may arise.
For instance The social dilemma of car sharing

I'd be happy to share my dehydrator but something like that really only makes sense if someone is pretty close by. I'm not going to mail it to, say, Oregon for example 😂 but you could probably find one for a few dollars at a garage sale or on Craigslist.

You could join a site like NextDoor where you post things that only very near neighbors will see. There are similar Facebook groups for towns or neighborhoods too. I'm not on Facebook but I have lots of friends who trade things they need on Freecycle and Buy Nothing groups (these are small neighborhood/town sized groups).

Hello!  I may be relatively "neighborly" to you - I am in Skagit County.  Feel free to send me a message - I have dehydrator and stove and if you have produce, I will gladly help preserve items for half of the stores =)  I have done this before within my previous community, it's how I learned to can (I would go and help harvest, and then help process and can).  If you are willing to travel to Skagit County, we can work something out.  I am pretty close to I-5.

Great, Thank you! I will be in touch.

If you find yourself in Yakima, WA we are more than willing to share our dehydrator, kitchen, canning equipment etc.  I love to learn new skills and we always welcome food for barter.

We have a couple of extra vehicles that could be shared if someone put in the work to fix them.  

We appreciate the barter lifestyle and would love to do more active bartering.

Thank you S Rogers I'll keep you in mind, Thank you!
