All Things Green

While flying over Seattle on our way to landing at Sea-Tac, the pilot shared, "There's a reason it's so green down there." Yeah, yeah, we know, but I would just like to point out, thanks to NOAA, we are not the rain capital of the U.S. !

To keep the green thing going, the mayor declared last week, "Two trees planted for every one taken down" and built $170,000 into the 2006 budget to do so. That's cool. He's seeing the bennies from earning the 2005 City Livability Award by beating out all other mayors for having the greenest city. (Yeah, I know... how hard is it to beat Detroit?) Maybe Mayor Nickels can join the Green Day Idiot Club, to keep the green theme going. Not to be left out, a site down in Portland names Seattle one of America's Top 10 Green Cities.
