Free (Or Really Cheap) Things To Do

Looking for cheap or free things to do in King County? Follow the Seattle DIY Collective calendar for the most complete listing of free or nearly free DIY (Do It Yourself) events in the community. Find all ages shows, film screenings and art events, take a Seattle Free School class, learn how to fix your bike (or go on a group ride), or try a Punk Rock Yoga class. Plus, there's this thing called the Really Really Free Market. It happens on the last Saturday of the month. Basically you bring stuff or services or food you don't want and take things or use services or eat food that other people bring. It's all free- no bartering, no trading, no $$$. If you're new to the area (or just new to this sort of thing), check out the Collective's Guide to Seattle for ideas on how to live in or visit Seattle as a participant rather than a consumer.

Like live music? Interested in learning how to put on a show? The Vera Project is a Seattle music-arts center run by and for teens. Yup. That's right. You can attend any of the all ages shows hosted by the VP or you can help produce and organize them. Check out their website for more information.

But wait, there's something for you Eastsiders too. The Redmond Old Fire House is a place for people ages 13-19 to hang out, skate, take art classes, develop pictures, play pool, see live bands, go on field trips, and more. It's free during drop-in.
