How COVID has Transformed the Design of the Northwest Home

COVID has reshaped the design of the Northwest home, say Seattle Home & Garden Show exhibitors, who represent the leading building, design and landscape professionals in the region.  Carving out more private spaces for remote working and learning, urban gardening and urban farming (including raising small farm animals and growing your own produce) and increased interest in home recreation and entertainment, from saunas and spas to game rooms, are among the top trends the public can see at this year’s show as we enter the third year of the pandemic. 

With a one-stop shop all under one roof, this is an ideal opportunity for the public to learn more about the latest trends and products for the home, no matter the size of their project, even for consumers that reside in apartments and condos.

The Seattle Home & Garden Show along with Lumen Field Event Center are taking all the necessary safety precautions to welcome visitors back safely.  Please click here for the latest COVID-19 safety guidelines before attending the show.

“Yard to Table,” a Small Community Farm Showcasing the Latest in Urban Farming and Homesteading

From backyard beekeeping to apartment gardening, Northwesterners can see all the latest in urban farming and homesteading at “Yard to Table,” a 6,000 square foot educational community garden, at the Seattle Home & Garden Show.  A collaborative effort of more than two dozen of the region’s independent leaders in the Yard to Table movement (who are building this small farm on site to address the region’s burgeoning pandemic-related interest in gardening), “Yard to Table” features raised vegetable and flower beds, live small farm animals (including sheep, goats and baby chicks), a chicken coop and a greenhouse, as well as rotating presentations ranging from goat yoga to growing your own produce at home.
