Urban farm bill gives new meaning to ‘eating local’

The Seattle City Council has approved a bill that could soon have a lot more chicken coops and urban farms popping up in Queen Anne and across the city. The ordinance updates the land use code on urban agriculture uses, including allowing “urban farms” and “community gardens” in all zones. Residents will now be able to sell food grown on their property. The legislation also changes the number of chickens allowed per lot from 3 to 8.
