It's a Beautiful Day for a Swap Meet

The Puget Park Swap Meet (or Swap-O-Rama as it may be called) is a long-standing staple of the area. Located at a drive-in theater in South Everett (just off I-5), each April through October on Saturdays and Sundays many swappers from all over the region gather to try to find a bargain.

Every year there seems to be rumors that this will be the last for the Swap Meet, but so far these have proven to be false. Although E-Bay and Craigslist have definitely limited some of the bargains to be found, it's still fun to hunt through other people's junk. In my younger days, the Swap Meet single handedly helped build my collections of baseball cards, records, and CDs.
