Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood doesn't have a grocery store and is considered a food desert. The owners of local bagel shop Bloom Bistro coordinated a trial farmers market that is happening every Thursday 'til Oct. 9 gauge interest and demand.

It's #ElectionDay in #WashingtonState! Make sure you submit your ballot today by 8pm. 😎😎

Turnout in these odd-year elections is always on the low side, and folks on the frontlines are often not well-represented in the results. Let's make sure we make our voices heard: go out and vote before 8pm! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
