how many?

It completely depends on the neighborhood. I've lived in some where the neighbors brought over fresh baked cookies (yes in Seattle) and I invited them in and we chatted and became friends. Other neighborhoods, people pretend not to see you and turn away if you wave. There's no universal Seattle type, and you never know until you try to connect.

If you can your foods to preserve them with intent to sell you have to have a HACCP plan, which can be really rigorous and expensive.

Oh well seems like this is it! Nice link to the collection.

I’m the vice chair of the Everett Mountaineers. I can send out some feelers to the members to see if anyone has any information.

I’ve seen the photo before, but I don’t remember where. Besides the mountaineers maybe the historians for Seattle/western Wa

This is awesome. Here's a link about a photo collection including this one.

The whole collection appears to be in the UW Special Collections, you may want to contact them.

Edit: also here, page 7.

I don't recognize it, however it's a very cool piece of Washington climbing history. I'm sure if you contacted the Everett, Mountaineers someone there might recognize it or be interested in owning the photograph

Logging remnants. Choker cable probably.

Introducing yourself is fine, even nice. But if you don’t maintain contact, they will have forgotten your name within the week and you likely won’t talk to them again for six months.

I bought my first house a year ago. Since moving out of my parents' house (in Seattle) I've moved around a lot and never really gotten to know my neighbors but I would like to now that I feel like I'll be in one place for a while. I'm not very outgoing so didn't feel comfortable just knocking on my neighbors' doors to introduce myself, but I don't think that would be weird (I certainly wouldn't have minded if someone did that to me). I did meet a few neighbors organically once the weather warmed up and people were out in their yards more, and other random things like a shared fence falling over or a dog escaping into our yard. Whenever that happens I try to remember to ask to exchange numbers. It's a slow process but it's nice to not feel anonymous in your own neighborhood.

You know, folks are mixed from all over. Plenty of streets in North Carolina lined with Yankees just like it seems most people in Seattle are from somewhere else. I'd say just read the room.

I definitely think you should go introduce yourself to your neighbors so they know who you are and you them.

This way if there is ever an emergency or want to build a fence or remove tree, etc. You know who to contact.

Because food poisoning kills and veggies carry risks as well. We at least pretend with health inspectors to make sure places are safe but there would be no way to inspect someone's home to see if it is safe. The short story is that shitty people trying to make a quick buck ruined it for everyone. You can how ever operate out of a co-op commercial kitchen, even food trucks depending on the type have to rent a kitchen somewhere to make certain foods they sell and keep warm in the truck.

Any prepared food is taxed such as at all restaurants. Food doesn't come naturally in a jar. Because there is a service you are paying for.

I think it's super valuable to know your neighbors. As an introvert though, it can be difficult for me to figure out how to go about that. I think for the most part you would be welcome and the introverts would be incredibly grateful that you made the effort. Sometimes it's just feeling like you know a name that really gets the ball rolling.

Washington has pretty standard cottage food laws.

Methinks you haven't actually read the Montana Cottage Food Guidance as it states that fermented products or canned fruits and veggies are not permissible their, either.

I like knowing my neighbors. Most of us have met and had a couple conversations, while doing yard work or whatever.

Imo bringing gifts is optional, but you may be pleasantly rewarded if you do. We shared some apples and have received numerous treats in return.

Found in a box of junk my brother-in-law inherited. That's not Pinocchio, it's just the way the background aligns with the kid's nose.

Edit: Thank you all for your replies. I'll pass this info along to my brother-in-law.

Probably trash from a logging operation 50 years ago or so. Perhaps when the power line corridor was cut.

OMG the dArK wEb

You found the ^(Darkweb)

Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah and all the other Mormon states just accept botulism and salmonella as “God’s Will.”

You can go to Montana if you want to give people botulism.
