Barter group forming in PA, Sequim

PORT ANGELES — Say you have a leaky faucet, a bathtub that refuses to drain — but no money to pour into a plumber’s pocket.

Say you’re a hot cook who can whip up a week’s worth of delicately seasoned dinners.

Your talents and needs make you a good candidate for an organization forming in Port Angeles and Sequim.

So far, it’s simply called a bartering group.

Barbara Lott, is organizing the first meeting of the group, which will be at 6 p.m. today at The Salad Station, 1936 E. First St. at Golf Course Road in Port Angeles.

Lott is inspired by the Fourth Corner Exchange, a 600-member community that began in Bellingham in 2002.

Participants trade goods and services — while declaring themselves independent from money.
