Warehousing Services - Disposal of Surplus Property

Other than real estate, disposal of all surplus City-owned property and equipment - such as furniture, computers, industrial material and street signs - is handled through the City of Seattle's central warehouse. Whenever possible, the City offers this surplus property for sale.

The most common items, such as office furniture and computers, are available year-round and sold out of the City's central warehouse, located at 3807 Second Ave. S., Seattle. The general pricing list below includes a link to street sign inventory.

In the case of unusual items - those that do not have established prices or are expensive - the City sends out invitations to bid and also lists the items on online auction sites, such www.bidadoo.com and www.govdeals.com.

All items are sold "as-is, where-is" without any guarantee as to the accuracy of the description or as to present or future condition or performance.
