The US Green Building Council’s LEED certification process has become the standard for measuring our efforts. We started our re-certification process last year with our tenant transportation survey and will be closing that survey out on March 13th. After completing this survey, you are entered to win an iPad Air or Mac Book Pro! If you have not yet completed this survey you can do so at transwestern.wufoo.com/forms/ union-square-transportation-survey. If you have completed it, thank you for you participation and good luck at the final drawing which will be the week of March 16th. WIN! ARCADE LIGHTS On April 24th, Pike Place Market will empty out, as it usually does at the end of a busy spring day. But after hours, it will fill up with a new set of vendors for Arcade Lights, a yearly event that is host to over 70 local food and drink purveyors. From cupcakes to pasta to wine, there is something for everyone to enjoy at this casual, oneof-a-kind event. Each ticket purchase is good for a reusable glass and ten tokens, which can be used at your discretion. All tickets sold will benefit the Pike Place Market Foundation. The Early Bird ticket price is $45 – after the first 250 are sold, the price increases to $60. For more event information, visit pikeplacemarketfoundation.org.

In fact, a snowflake falls at 3 mph, so when riding during a snowstorm, it appears to be snowing upwards.
