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. 

Family Fun Weekend Activities

There will be plenty of fun activities for the whole family this weekend at the Seattle Home & Garden Show!

Showcased this year are game room exhibits, the latest design innovations for remote working and learning and “Yard to Table”, a 6,000 square foot educational community garden, complete with small farm animals.  At Yard to Table, there will be baby chicks every day as well as live beehives (enclosed in glass cases) where the family can see up close the activities of bees and their hives.  As well, there will be rotating presentations on topics such as goat yoga, raising goats and sheep, weaving, growing your own produce, raising chickens, apartment/condo gardening and more, with no two days alike.  

Even more activities include, LANFest, an onsite computer gaming event in conjunction with Best Buy for gamers of all ages and Swim/Bike/Run for Habitat, an onsite fundraiser for affordable housing where you can sign up to compete by swimming, biking or running, with proceeds donated to Habitat for Humanity.

The show opens tomorrow, February 26th at 10am!
