Take the SEA Demographic Survey

Will you be the one lucky survey participant to win $500? | Graphic by 6AM City

Happy New Year, Seattleites. To start the year off on the right foot, we need a little help from you.

Every morning, more than 48,000 of you welcome us into your inbox. And each day, we do our very best to provide you with timely, relevant information so you can get the most out of the city we call home.

We’re asking you to take two minutes to tell us a little more about yourself because the more we know about who you are, the better we can deliver information that you care about. Just two minutes. Feel free to skip any questions you don’t want to answer. We don’t want to pry. (Okay, we do, but for a good reason.)

We’ll be selecting one lucky survey participant to win $500. We’re rooting for you, SEA.

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

— Gabe + Alina

Recycling your Christmas tree in Seattle

Sure, the holidays are all fun and games — but sooner or later you have to deal with that “Night of the Living Dead” tree in the corner.

We have some tips on how to put an old tree to good use.

Curbside pickup

Seattle will recycle your tree for you: all you have to do is bring it out to the curb. To make sure it gets properly recycled, you’ll need to remove the tinsel, garland, tree stand + ornaments before bringing it out.

Make your own mulch

When you take a tree to a recycling center they turn it into mulch anyway. So, why not use it for your own yard + spring garden? Ideally, you could shred the tree (for example, Home Depot has mulchers for rent). But usually by the time the holidays are over, the needles will already be falling off. You can spread them in garden beds or over the lawn.
