What's a must-have for green Seattleites?

The Bite:
Besides a recycled umbrella. Let your friends in the Pacific Northwest know that Ideal Bite is moving into rainy territory (and maybe even win a cool, green prize). Different from the Daily Tips, our Seattle Local Bites will serve up great green ideas specific to the metro area each weekday. Daammp, girl!
The Benefits: 
  • Insider info, rain or shine. We'll be your personal guide to all the green goings-on in the Seattle metro area.
  • You-won't-find-these-in-sunnier-cities picks. Learn where to get the good stuff that's grown and made in Seattle (not just what's at Whole Foods). 
  • Saving reservoirs of resources. Example: It takes 17 times more oil to transport nonlocal food compared to stuff produced nearby.
Personally Speaking: 
Even without Gene Kelly's magic feet, our Seattle editor kinda wanted to do a little dance when she realized she's got one more excuse to move her legs sustainably around Puget Sound.
Wanna Try: 
  • Use this link to tell your friends about the Seattle Bite, and you'll be entered to win one of three prize packs from Juice Beauty (plus, the first 100 of your friends who sign up will get a Juice Beauty sampler).
  • Check out a sample Seattle Local Bite or just sign up already. Then look for your first Bite on Tue., Oct. 21.
  • If you call somewhere else home, sign up for your Local Bite in Chicago, Denver, LA, NY, or SF, or one of the other eight editions we're launching soon.

Cocktail Fact

Bring on the solar panels: Seattle's wet an average of 158 days per year.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Seattle Biters eat one locally produced apple instead of a nonlocal one, we'll save enough gas to fill the tanks of 50 cars.
