Smash in Emerald City Eats
You’ve probably seen those new group coupon services popping up: Groupon, LivingSocial, etc.: they offer the opportunity to buy coupons at local establishments for steep discounts for a limited time (usually the deal is only offered for a single day).

As long-time beekeepers, hyperlocally famous tomato farmers and soon-to-be chicken ranchers, we here at Wallyhood are huge fans of the “urban homesteading” movement that is bringing previously rural-only farming practices to the city (and very local food to our table). Our city government, we’re pleased to see, is on board as well, judging from this press release we got from the city:
Mayor Mike McGinn and Seattle City Councilmembers today announced the “Year of Urban Agriculture” campaign to promote urban agriculture efforts and increase community access to locally grown food.
