SWEL Timebank Summer Potluck

Saturday, July 18, 2015



Exchanging Gifts Through Time

SWEL will be holding its summer potluck on Sunday, August 2, from 3:30 to 5pm at Hillwood Park, 19001 3rd Ave NW, Shoreline 98177.

SWEL is a cooperative time-sharing group that provides services for members. 
  • Bring a potluck dish to share (along with serving utensil)
  • Chairs and/or blankets
  • Games – Horseshoes, Basketball, etc.
  • Dogs must be on leash at all times
  • Relax and connect with other members and friends
Check out website and Facebook for the latest news, upcoming events, recent offers and requests and more! Email for more information.

How Does the SWEL Timebank Work?
Timebanking helps neighbors enjoy the necessities and the niceties of life by exchanging time instead of dollars. All services are valued equally.

Our simple Internet-based system called Community Weaver introduces SWEL Timebank members to each other, facilitates the exchange of services, and keeps track of the hours exchanged. This online database makes it easy to see what skills and services your neighbors have to offer, and what services they need, so you can match your skills and needs with others in the Shoreline, Woodway, Edmonds, and Lake Forest Park communities.

SWEL Timebank orientation July 12 at Shoreline Library

Friday, July 6, 2012


July Appetizer and Dessert Potluck and SWEL Timebank Orientation

Thursday, July 12, 2012
7:00 - 8:30 pm
Shoreline Library
345 NE 175th, Shoreline  

Come meet SWEL Timebank members and other people interested in timebanking, ask any questions you may have, and sign up to become a member. Bring an appetizer or dessert to share!

If you are interested in joining the SWEL Timebank, please bring these three items:

  •     A completed application (found on our website)
  •     Picture ID
  •     Phone numbers for two personal references

What are timebanks?

There are over 100 successful timebanks in the United States, including the Eastside Timebank, which serves the cities of Kirkland, Redmond, and Bellevue.  Timebanks use a low overhead, self-organizing internet based system to help people exchange their talents and passions with other members so that they can enjoy the necessities and niceties of life.  Read more 

How do timebanks work?  An hour you spend doing something for a SWEL Timebank member goes into the bank as one time hour. You can then use this time hour having another SWEL member do something for you.

Timebanking is different than bartering because you can provide a service to one member and receive a service from someone else. All services are tax-exempt, and each hour of service is of equal value.

SWEL stands for Shoreline, Woodway, Edmonds, Lake Forest Park
