History

The Bike Shack was founded as a volunteer-run, completely donation-funded DIY workshop that helped people learn to fix bikes and provides tools for community use. The shop operated from "the garage behind the grey building at 901 NE 55th St, Seattle."

At an unknown date, the Bike Shack relocated into the NE Seattle Tool Library space. After some time, management of the Bike Shack program was handed off to Seattle REconomy, which subsequently opened a second location at their Shoreline tool library.

Services Offered

Only Tool Library members may use the Bike Shack and can use any location.

Bike Shack costs $20 per hour, but no one is turned away for lack of funds.
