Membership Information

Anyone over 18 is welcome to use The West Seattle Tool Library, whether you live in West Seattle or anywhere else in the region. Members are just required to fill out a membership application and a liability waiver as well as present a form of photo ID to Tool Library staff.

This community resource thrives on the generosity of its users. The donations are suggested– you’re welcome to give more, less, or none of the suggested rates. Thank you for your support!
