Ep008: Human Composting is an Option in Seattle
Welcome back to the Find Me in Seattle Podcast, Episode 008! This week is snowy and cold in Seattle but that didn't stop me from discovering some wonderful people and places around the city.
In the news this week, Mayor Jenny Durkan and the City of Seattle awarded the winner of the new Small Business Stabilization Pilot Program to assist eight Seattle "micro businesses." All eight winners, who were either women-owned or minority-owned business, each will receive $25,000 grants to be used to cover "day-to-day operating expenses of the business, such as payroll or losses due to destabilizing events." Check out the article form the Capitol Hill Seattle Blog.
The headline of this week's show was "Seattle Will Have Nation's First Human Composting Site." In May 2019, Gov. Jay Inslee signed legislation making Washington the first state to approve composting as an alternative to cremation or burial. CEO of Recompose, Katrina Spade has created a process that involves composting a human body in individual containers with alfalfa, straw and wood chips. A month later, a square yard of soil is available for the family to plant in a home, or spread in another dedicated space.
The Meal of the Week comes from Dolar Shop Hop Pot in the Bravern building of Downtown Bellevue. The highlights of the meal included getting your own individual hot pot for your choice of broth. We ordered a tower of assorted beef and lamb, a bowl of vegetables, handmade noodles, and the kicker at the end, a vanilla soft serve ice cream cone.
The Featured Business of the Week is the Puget Sound Company. They are an 8 member a capella group based in Seattle. They invited me to watch their rehearsal leading up to the Seattle A Capella Festival at Benaroya Hall on Wednesday Jan 15th.
