The 2009 swap was once again a tremendous success!
Note: All left over soft goods went to help the kids at Camp Korey this year!

Biggest & Best - Why pay more or settle for lower quality? This sale is huge, with over 10,000 Sq feet, approximately 10,000 inventory items and $370,000 in sales. It is very well organized and you will find a huge selection of equipment and accessories at incredibly low prices. It rivals the big commercial events in Seattle except that we have Lower Prices, Free Entry and Free Parking.  We take major Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard & Amex), personal checks and of course, cash.  Easy access from both I-405 (Coal Creek) & I-90 (150th).

Major savings on NEW gear (30-60%) - Local ski and snowboard stores offer gear at highly discounted prices, often 30-60% discount off the price you would pay in a store during the prime season. How do they do it? Every year, the industry over-manufactures by as much as 30%. This is not junk but rather high quality, new gear that shops have left over or that they buy at a discount from manufacturers for swaps and early season store sales.

Major savings on USED gear (50-90%) - This is also a great opportunity to help others by selling your used equipment or buying someone else's. Sporting equipment and clothing value drops about 50% per year for the first three years ($600, $300, $150, $75). Many people come to the Newport swap year after year to trade-up their gear as their kids grow and their skiing or snowboarding skill improves. There are lots of very nice, high quality, high value, used gear for sale at amazingly low prices.

One Stop Shopping Convenience - We have new and used equipment for beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders so you can outfit the entire family. We have all the accessories that you will need including jackets, pants, underwear, socks, helmets, goggles, poles, boots, bindings and much, much more.
Snowsports Shops - Enumclaw Ski & Mountain, Bothell Ski & Bike, Gerk's Ski & Bike, Liquidation Sports, Mt Si Board & Skate, and Goldstar have provided some fab gear at incredible prices as well as providing technical assistance to find the just-right gear for you.
Snowsports Training - You can also sign up for Bellevue Ski & Snowboard School for Elementary, Middle or High School students. We have a valued association Husky Winter Sports who helps us with advertising at the University of Washington and who will also be at the swap.

Ski Day Convenience - It is much more convenient for new skiers and boarders to have their own equipment than to stand in line each week to rent equipment (30-60 minutes wait prime season). Renting in town also requires time for pickup and drop-off. Buying used is very cost effective since used equipment is deeply discounted and generally costs less than renting for the season.

Charity - The Swap has an valued association with SOS Outreach, a sports-based youth development organization, whose goal is to help build character and self-esteem in underserved youth through mentorship, community outreach and outdoor recreation.
We also contributed hundreds of left over soft goods (jackets, pants, fleece, under clothing) to Camp Korey - Mission To honor the courage, strength, and determination of children and their families who battle life-threatening and serious illnesses; and to provide them with a safe, friendly, medically sound environment in which to simply have fun and be kids.

Swap Advertising assistance by Newport's own Cynthia Flash of Flash Media Services.
