SNOHOMISH — Two famous 2004 Snohomish High graduates are offering a big ticket item to the school’s fundraiser:
Themselves.
HGTV’s “Unsellable Houses” twins Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis are on the action block.
The starting bid set for a two-hour Q&A sit down with the sisters? $2,000.
“Talk design, or whatever your heart desires, at their Lamb & Co. Design office in downtown Snohomish,” the online auction post reads.
The deal includes a written report of design suggestions and a gift basket with items from their homegoods store.
The package is valued at $7,500, according to the post.
The Class of 2004 fundraiser is for the 20-year reunion. Other auction items include hot yoga, cupcakes, beauty sessions, Evergreen Speedway night out and a $400 conveyed aggregate truck delivery (materials not included).
Not everybody could pull off offering themselves as a commodity.
The twins’ fifth season of “Unsellable Houses” is in the works. Their hit HGTV show focuses on homes and people in Snohomish County, with scenes from local attractions and personal glimpses of everyday life. Family members appear on the show. Their husbands and two sons are also Snohomish High graduates.
The sisters have branched out to other HGTV shows. They were the winners of this season’s “Rock the Block” and showed homes in an April episode of “House Hunters: All Stars.”
Their Lamb & Co. brand is headquartered on First Street. It includes a real estate business, design and renovation services, a homegoods store and The Feather Ballroom event venue. The auction gift basket has Lamb & Co. mugs, dish towels and other small products.
They have hosted free meet and greets at their design center to get donations for Seattle Children’s Hospital.
Shyla Birr, Lamb & Co. spokesperson, said the sisters have not put themselves as specific items in an auction before.
“However, they often participate in fundraisers and auctions in the community,” she said.
Lamb & Co. are sponsors of the city’s Kla Ha Ya Days and will donate the proceeds from their venue’s “The Princess and the Frog Ball” in July to the festival, she said.
The auction ends Saturday. As of Thursday, the twins had no bids.
