Healthy City Vending Machines, Bacon Happy Hour

SEATTLE— The Seattle City Council voted today to require all vending machines on city property to be half-stocked with healthy snack choices. Mayor Mike McGinn also supports the idea. The proposal would create healthy food alternatives like carrot sticks, low-fat yogurt, string cheese and packets of tuna. Mmmm....fish packets. [Seattle Times]

BELLTOWN— In a total 180, Local 360 is bringing back its popular bacon happy hour this Friday, March 8, from 3 to 6 pm. You can glean the menu, which is good for one night only. The event will also feature bacon-themed cocktails such as the Pig in a Blanket: Good Morning Glory Grog, V Bacon Vodka, Vanilla simple, OJ squeeze and soda.

SEATTLE— The Seattle PI has a nostalgic slideshow of 25 things we miss in Seattle. A bonus #26 is The Sunny Jim Peanut Butter sign that was destroyed in a fire back in 1997. [Seattle PI]
