Free: Kid stuff: metal vehicles (Hawthorne Hills in NE Seattle) Gifted Two layers of mostly metal vehicles in a box, including matchbox cars/trucks, and similar (and a couple of odd larger flying vehicles).

I check my email typically 2-3 times a day, so you can expect some delay before I respond to your request. I can leave the box outside for pickup if I will not be home when you want to come, but I get enough lead time to do this. No-shows go to the bottom of my list in the future.
