Seattle is pretty strict when it comes to recycling and composting. So strict that garbage haulers are empowered to sift through garbage and issue warnings to those who don’t follow the rules. That process has led to a lawsuit in which several residents are arguing that “a person has a legitimate expectation that the contents of his or her garbage cans will remain private and free from government inspection when placed curbside for collection.”

+ Last week, a widely shared New Yorker Article described the the massive earthquake that could devastate Seattle. For those who haven’t already packed up their U-Hauls, I wondered what else could devastate Seattle.
