Scavenger Hunt! NuBe Green Challenges You to a Social-Media Contest
NuBe Green (Capitol Hill, 1527 10th Ave.; 206.402.4515), purveyor of cool, mostly U.S.A.-made goods, has launched its first nation-wide scavenger hunt.
The Great NuBe Scavenger Hunt actually involves very little scavenging per se. Instead teams (you can form yours from friends and family located anywhere in the country) are challenged to perform a series of preset tasks to earn points. The three teams tallying the most points can pick from prizes ranging from NuBe Green gift certificates and local resort getaways to a cameo spot in actor Tom Skeritt’s upcoming web series. The tasks themselves, many of which have a green/recycled focus, range from low-point values—such as composing a jingle—to big-point getters—dumpster diving or delivering an item via a drone. To prove a task’s completion, you simply post a picture or video with the task’s designated hashtag on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
There are 39 tasks in all, but you have the entire month of August in which to tackle them.

A San Juan Island Home for All Seasons
With an eye toward the future, Prentiss + Balance + Wickline helped two Seattle professionals design a house perfect for weekend getaways now—and permanent living during their post-retirement years.
It was early 2017 when a Seattle-based empty-nester couple started searching for a property in the San Juan Islands. They still had jobs in the city, but were nearing retirement and wanted a home they could use on weekends, and eventually settle in after they left the workforce. Initially, the two weren’t planning on a…
Can Alaska Kelp Help Washington Crops Beat the Heat?
A Ketchikan company is working with WSU researchers to see whether its kelp-based biostimulant can help grapes and berries withstand environmental stress.
From the floatplane, reddish-brown kelp traces the edges of the small islands between Ketchikan and Prince of Wales Island like brushstrokes on the surface of the water. Up close, on a rare 70-degree July day in Alaska, the kelp is glossy and beautiful, though the wind coming off the water makes it nearly impossible to…
PlantCon Is Coming for Seattle’s Windowsills
The nation’s largest gathering for houseplant lovers makes its Pacific Northwest debut this August with 200 booths, hands-on workshops, and a DJ.
My house is full of plants, enough that I’ve lost count. Houseplants have the same suspicious math as tattoos: One is rarely the final number. I propagate cuttings in jars of water, regularly rearrange corners of the house in pursuit of better light, and like to imagine the entire collection is improving the air. That…
