NE Seattle Treasure Hunt Tomorrow!

Sustainable NE Seattle is promoting a Local Treasure Hunt to seek out "those assets that help in our effort toward resiliance."  The group is asking those interested to find unique "items" such as an edible garden, an unknown green space and beekeepers and bring the information to their monthly meeting at 6:30pm on Thursday.   Sustainable NE describes the goal of the hunt:
Who lives in our NE Seattle area and has skills we need to know about, or a company we can support? Perhaps land they want to farm? Take a look around your neighborhood. Talk to your friends. Bring the information - better yet, the found treasure - to our February meeting so we can start mapping our assets, discovering our local treasures. Part of becoming resilient is understanding what local products, skills and assets we already have so we can determine what we are lacking to live life fully.
The event sounds like a fun way to compile useful resource lists while meeting new people in NE Seattle neighborhoods.  For a complete list of all treasure hunt items, go here.

Sustainable NE Seattle's monthly meetings are held at Wedgwood Presbyterian Church located at 8008 35th Avenue NE.
