GO LOCAL
Local Living Lounge
Go Local! and Tacoma Farmer’s Market will offer chances to see, do, eat, experience, learn and, er, lounge today at the Local Living Lounge. Every Thursday, in conjunction with Tacoma Farmers Market, The Local Living Lounge will occupy the space officially known as Pierce Transit Theater Square by the spitting silver salmon, and will offer a brilliantly dizzying array of activity and engagement under the banner of local living.

Each week, Local Living Lounge lizards will pose a new question intended to spark conversation and generate community input. â€" George Dorn
[Tacoma Farmers Market/Local Living Lounge, opens today, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Thursday, Tacoma on Broadway between Ninth and 11th, www.tacomafarmersmarket.com]
