Urban agriculture can be loosely defined as growing plants and raising animals within and around cities. In August 2010, the Seattle City Council voted to expand opportunities for urban agriculture in the City of Seattle. These code changes help create a more sustainable and secure local food system by increasing opportunities to grow and sell food in all zones.
The Urban Agriculture Planning Exhibit highlights the legislation changes that allow Seattle residents to grow food and raise some small animals in the city.
You can see the exhibit on the 3rd floor lobby of the Seattle Municipal Tower (700 5th Avenue), or online at www.seattle.gov/DPD/Planning/Planning_Exhibit/
