Please Welcome Sophia Way & Tom Watson, Our Newest Bloggers

During the last week, Bellevue Patch has welcomed TheSophiaWay and Tom Watson as our newest bloggers.

Sophia's Thrift Shoppe blogged about its grand opening ceremony, held March 22. However, this is no ordinary  thift shop; purchases from Sophia's Way fund programs that shelter, counsel, train, and teach independence skills to homeless adult women in the Puget Sound region.

Our other Newest blogger may already be a familiar name. Watson is the author of the EcoConsumer column in The Seattle Times and is well-known for his work with King County.

In his first post on Patch, Green info for the picking, Watson recycles information from recent email queries, a past EcoConsumer coulmn and recent recearch.

So if you've ever wondered about cat litter composting, re-purposing building materials, or fruit-picking liabilities, check out Watson's column.

We're excited to have him Blogging on Patch!
