April 15
Seattle Sites of the Day:


"The native critters also appreciate having access to the plants they grew
up with, evolutionarily speaking. ... food and shelter for the birds, bugs,
and butterflies that once called this area home in greater numbers than now.
Why is this useful? If the birds and bugs find plenty of places to live and
hide, and plenty of tasty berries, pollen, or nectar, they will help control
the pests that can tempt us to engage in chemical warfare."
