Free: Office Chair Back (North Bellevue) Expired 236d - It's a long shot, but can anyone use this? It is the back support part of an old office chair that broke, the seat part long gone. Gray, synthetic upholstery, clean and in good condition. 15" x 13", with 15" metal "bar" that used to attach to the seat. Can you find a use for it that saves it from the landfill?

Free: Show Ribbons (North Bellevue) Expired 1y - Approximately 155 show ribbons, many colors (pink 11, yellow 20, purple 10, light green 13, dark green 6, brown 10, white 11, burgundy 11, red 9, blue 15, dark blue 3, multi-colored 36), from local horse shows in the 2000s (Lake Washington Saddle Club mostly, with some Evergreen Classic, Thunderbird, others). Some have the winner's name, etc. handwritten on the sticker on the back. Can you use these for something? A friend thinks that at least for some of them, you could replace the middle ribbon.

Free: Clothes drying rack (North Bellevue) Gifted 1y - This clothes drying rack is 32" tall with a 36" x 19" drying area. It used to fold up until one of the plastic clips broke - we replaced it with a zip tie (see photo). If you need to fold it regularly, you could use a different, removable clip/tie of some kind. Please pick up at my home - and let me know if you'd like me to break the zip tie to fold it for easier transportation.

The fish oil label says it's still good through May of this year. Please see photos for more info. Pick up any or all at my home or at a mutually agreed location near North Bellevue.

Free: Large Polyester Pad (North Bellevue) Expired 1y - A mattress store sold us this pad to use under a queen-sized mattress that had to be used for a few weeks on a carpeted floor (for someone in danger of falling out of bed). It's some kind of woven polyester, about 75" x 54", and 1 1/4" thick. It's creased from being folded while out of use, but is otherwise clean, though I have not washed it (not sure how), so it may be dusty. No one has ever worn shoes on the carpet it was on, and we don't wear shoes in our house. I expect you could cut it up for projects, or use it as extra padding under something. Pick up at my house or at a mutually agree location near North Bellevue.

Most items are gently used or brand new. I'd rather have someone take it all, but let me know if there's something you really don't want. Pickup, or I can pack it all up and meet you somewhere not too far from my location.

Free: Cold Packs (assorted) (North Bellevue) Expired 1y - 15 cold packs of various sizes, clean and in good shape. Each used once when someone sent us food from an overnight company. Pick up at my home or I can meet you at a shopping center, etc on the Eastside.

Free: Mailbox: 1/8 inch plate steel (North Bellevue) Gifted 1y - Postmaster brand, 20-pound, 1/8 inch plate steel mailbox, black with red flag, about 20-inches long. See photos. Like new, never used as far as I can tell. It's been in our garage for 20 years. I think we bought it and then couldn't make it work with the mailbox house in our neighborhood. Please pick up.
