UPDATE, 11/10 -- We stopped by the warehouse at 11:30, just before closing out of curiosity and to see if there was anything good for the pickings. Not.
George Walker - the friendly and helpful warehouseman gave us the complete run-down, as follows: 35 shoppers were lined up outside the warehouse before opening at 7:30AM. One person camped out the night before. (Confirmed by two LWSD warehouseman). Just over 60 purchases were made.
According to state law - outlying school districts and private schools get first dibs on the merchandise. Sutlan School District picked up all the netbooks and carts. Seattle School district was the number two buyer, followed by Faith Lutheran School on Ed. Hill. The Kimball piano was picked up by an LW district el. school. Most of the many remaining desktop computers will go to Mars Recycling. Book brokers will bid on the thousands of remaining books. Most of the kitchen and workshop stuff was junky and remained.
Auctions were held up until about 6 years ago (though auctions still take place for LWHS and Finn Hill JH). George said, "I hold items before the sale that I think the district could use." (folding tables, etc.)

A flyer with this Surplus Sale announcement was distributed a couple of days ago to school facilites by the Administration. There's no announcement on the district website, at this time. I'm publishing this for the community so they can plan for the sale, too. Share this news with your friends! B.Y.
