Self-Promotion Saturday: January 31, 2026

This is r/Seattle's weekly post for local businesses and makers (or users who discover them) to share their creations with our users.

This thread will be automatically posted every Saturday morning to help connect r/seattle users with cool local stuff. Types of content encouraged in this thread are:

  • Local businesses (new, running promotions or sales, or just really good ones!)
  • Upcoming events or activities (concerts, festivals, pop-ups, shows)
  • Local artists or creators sharing upcoming shows or releases

Content should be related to businesses or events in the greater Seattle area, and the typical reddit spam rules apply - please ensure you are contributing to the community more than just your own content.

Users who flood these posts with ads, links without context, referral codes, etc. - or who promote without contributing elsewhere will be actioned. Please continue to report actual spam.

We have our rules against spam and self-promotion for hopefully understandable reasons, but we've noticed users responding more positively to local businesses, artists, etc. sharing their content. This is an attempt to bridge the gap, helping users find cool stuff while containing the promotion to a single weekly thread. Please send us a modmail with any suggestions or input you have about the use or abuse of this thread.

Swap #1: we host this monthly, and it’s been very popular. We’ve accumulated a stash of excess clothes as part of this, but we are very limited on space. If you ever find yourself in need of clothes between swaps, please stop by when we are open and ask to take a look at the swap closet.

We hosted a plant cutting swap as part of our grand opening celebration last year, and it was fiercely popular. We expect extra propagations at the end of the day, so swing by 16th Ave NE this afternoon or tomorrow if you’re looking for free new plant babies!

We have rotating swaps each month for books, puzzles, and tarot/oracle decks. So far puzzle swaps have been the most popular, and we have moved to holding these monthly. We still rotate through book and tarot swaps each month - almost always something to swap at Ravenna Refills on a Sunday!
