Marketplace meetup locations

Safe meeting places for Facebook Marketplace in Washington

The locations above are designated e-commerce exchange zones—also called safe trade spots, transaction zones, or internet purchase exchange locations. They can be considered for Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, Nextdoor, eBay local pickup, and other person-to-person sales.

A public police-station parking lot is not automatically an approved exchange zone. SwyperSpace publishes a location only when its operator or another authoritative source explicitly documents marketplace or online-sale use. Read the marketplace meetup safety guide.

Before you go

Meeting a stranger in Washington

A designated zone gives you a public, usually recorded place to stand — it does not vet the person you are meeting or the item they are bringing. Go during posted hours, tell someone where you will be, keep the item with its owner until you both agree, and leave if anything feels off.

Create a meetup invite to lock in one of these Washington locations and a single arrival time, then send the other person a private link — no phone number or address exchanged.
