Newcastle had 13,017 people at the 2020 census, and the city's home page now estimates 13,940. The city sits in King County, covers about 4.5 square miles, and Lake Boren sits near downtown. With Zelbi, one photo of something you no longer need is enough to start, and someone nearby can claim it.
East Olympus, Mile Post, The Highlands at Newcastle and The Trails at Newcastle are among the neighborhoods listed for the Issaquah School District area of Newcastle.

A simpler alternative to Craigslist free, Freecycle, Buy Nothing and Trash Nothing
Newcastle already has free-stuff groups, and Craigslist's Seattle-area list has an eastside subarea that does not name Newcastle. On Zelbi the claimer pays the $2 fee, and the giver pays nothing.
One photo, full listing
A single picture is enough, because Zelbi drafts the words from it.
Accounts behind claims
Claims need an account on Zelbi and a payment that has been authorized.
Address held back
Only the person who claimed gets your exact address, and only once payment is authorized.
Zelbi is an independent app. It is not affiliated with Craigslist, The Freecycle Network, the Buy Nothing Project or Trash Nothing. Their names belong to their owners.
