One of the girls, Seattle Army Reservist Zong Her, a fashionista by day and a weekend warrior the third weekend of every month, just found out she was being deployed to Afghanistan this April with an Oregon Transportation Unit and the other girl, Darnell Sue founder of Girl Power Hour, was faced with the decision to stay in Seattle or move to France with her boyfriend who just took a job there. They both realized they had tons of high quality items that they needed to get rid of, but what does a city-dweller girl with no garage do when she wants to sell stuff? When the girls told their friend Darcy Camden, founder of Styled Seattle and resident stylist at KING-5 New Day Northwest, about the concept, she jumped on board; as a stylist, Darcy has helped hundreds of women clean out their closets, and she knows firsthand one person's trash can be another's treasure. Together, the three friends created Urban Girls Garage Sale.
The Urban Girls Garage Sale is the answer for every city gal with no garage, too much stuff and not enough space. It’s the ultimate pop-up shop featuring stylish used goods and apparel from local sellers to local buyers. The event will benefit the Seattle Goodwill, which helps low income individuals with barriers to employment get the training needed to become employed and gain economic self-sufficiency..
The Urban Girls’ Garage Sale is a unique shopping experience without consignment store prices and will include 40+ sellers, a networking café, trained stylists on-site to help you shop, and plenty of high-quality goods, from clothes to small furniture and everything in between. Zong Her will be donating proceeds from her sales to Goodwill, Seattle. Each vendor will also be providing one item where the proceeds go to Goodwill, Seattle. Partners include 1927 Events who was generous in providing the venue and Media Partner The CRAVE Company.
