Seed Selection, Seed Starting, and Seed Swapping

Seed Selection With the holidays behind us and the short (but lengthening) days of January in front of us, all thoughts turn to… seed starting? Well, maybe not ALL thoughts, but certainly some thoughts! The new year brings a slew of seed catalogs to my mailbox, which make for cozy reading on the couch. Who can resist Snow Crown (cauliflower), Purple Sun (carrots), Bright Lights (Swiss Chard), or my personal favorite, Cash Machine (zucchini)? Purchasing seeds from local growers provides a gardener with…

Revive I-5 Project Update: Northbound I-5 Lane Reductions for Most of 2026

When Bob Monroe and his partners at Figurehead Brewing started looking to expand beyond their original Magnolia location, they had a clear vision. They wanted a walkable neighborhood with foot traffic and to serve beer over the bar, creating connections with customers. What they found at 3513 Stone Way N was a pair of aging structures with potential. The…
