"Eat the View" Petition

Hi, folks, KUOW had their local garden experts on this morning and one mentioned this great campaign to get the next president to dig up the White House lawn and plant a garden for their use and for local food banks. I think it's a great idea. Where can we do that locally? More »

Be My Guest

EarthDaughter — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 14:01:00 -0700

Instead of the usual indoor cake and punch stand around send off, I've chosen to throw my own retirement/60th birthday party in conjuction with the Friday Chalk Art competition. Pinwheel Catering will be providing yummy noshies, ice tea and lemonade, and desserts to go with the lunches you bring. Hopefully some of my City coworkers will wander down too. I want them to see the fabulous artwork and gain an appreciation - as I have - for some of the wonderful young activists in this great town of ours. You give me hope for the future! So please celebrate with me while I celebrate all of us. Tomorrow noon to one or until the cookies are gone! More »

ICE Detention Center Plans Expansion

EarthDaughter — Sat, 24 May 2008 12:22:00 -0700

I had a conversation a few days ago with a consultant in Florida. She is working on an project to document the impact to the environment (including traffic, etc.) of a planned expansion of the detention center down on E. J St on the TideFlats. Apparently they are already discussing this with the Council, but it was the first I'd heard. Personally, I'd like to see this place go from 500 beds to zero rather than up to 1000. This is all "public knowledge" but I wonder how much of the public is aware of it. More »

Cohousing community

EarthDaughter — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:34:00 -0700

We have an opportunity to turn a remodeled apartment building and two adjacent lots into a condo-style, cohousing community. This is at S Earnest S. Brazill (12th) and J. Units would be affordable. There are 12 units plus an office unit. The two adjoining properties could be renovated or replaced with new, townhouse-type units. Decisions are made by the members. We can create a welcoming community in which to grow up or grow older! More »
