There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding the Mount Rainier Tool Shed that we would like to clear up. We are still here, but typical tool shed activity is currently on hold while we work with the city to relocate the tool shed. The current lending system in not efficient and the space is not practical, which is why we are not lending tools at this time; it is not because we do not have enough volunteers. We are optimistic a solution with the city will be worked out that will make the tool shed an effective asset for both the community and its volunteers who run it. Once we have a new and appropriate space, we will be ready to lend tools again and will need more volunteers. Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience!

We welcome anyone who has an hour to drop by to do some cleanup/maintenance of 3601 Bunker Hill Rd (the site of the Bike Coop, Tool Shed and Corn Coop Silo).

-Put the finishing touches on the compost bin (install one more pallet against fence)
-Cut Grass as needed (with Reel Mowers)
-Collect grass with grass rakes and dump in compost bin
-Prune bushes as needed
-Rake leaves as needed
-Rebuild two planters in the front yard (we need some 2’ x 1” x 1” pieces of wood)
-Tidy up as needed (miscellaneous)
