How COVID has Transformed the Design of the Northwest Home
SEATTLE, Feb. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- From urban gardening to working at home, Northwesterners will be able to see all the latest products, services and trends for the home when the Seattle Home & Garden Show, the nation’s oldest and largest consumer home show, opens its doors February 26 – March 6 at Lumen Field Event Center.
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.
“Overall, people are spending more money than ever making their homes their castles as the pandemic progresses,” said Michael Kalian, executive director for the Seattle Home & Garden Show. “The Seattle Home & Garden Show is an ideal opportunity for the public to learn more about the latest trends and products for the home, in a single venue, no matter the size of their project.“
Among the top features at the Seattle Home & Garden Show are:
- Yard to Table, a 6,000 square educational community garden showcasing the latest in urban gardening, urban farming, hobby gardening and homesteading, complete with live small farm animals and seminars on topics ranging from beekeeping to raising chickens
- The Mini-O, a complete mini backyard office that is fully climate controlled (including A/C and an electric fireplace heater) and can easily be relocated if you move
- A 20 x 80 foot game room exhibit featuring the latest in game room equipment
- LANFest, an onsite computer gaming event in conjunction with Best Buy for gamers of all ages
- Swim/Bike/Run for Habitat, an onsite fundraiser for affordable housing where the public can sign up to compete by swimming, biking or running, with proceeds donated to Habitat for Humanity
