Theo Chocolate in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood is stepping up for Haiti disaster relief by donating 100 percent of the purchase price (that’s right, the purchase price, not the profit) of their 45 percent classic milk chocolate and 70 percent classic dark chocolate bars purchased via their site and at all Cafe Vita locations in Seattle and Olympia.
Here is what Theo Chocolate says about the effort:
At Theo we are deeply saddened by the human suffering caused by the earthquake in Haiti, and we understand that all life on our planet is interconnected. The people of Haiti need our help NOW! Please join us!
100% of the purchase of our 45% classic milk and 70% classic dark chocolate bars will go to CARE, a humanitarian nonprofit fundraising for the Haiti relief effort.
The money will initially help CARE provide 600,000 water purification tablets. Other aid items will follow.
Theo bars can be ordered online here. See a list of Cafe Vita locations here. You can also donate directly to CARE here.

The Northwest Flower and Garden show runs Feb. 3-7 at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in downtown Seattle, but if you buy tickets by Feb. 2, you’ll save $4 on the admission price.
The 22nd annual show’s theme is “Beauty and Functionality,” capitalizing on the buzz around the new catchword “sustainability.” The show also includes more family-friendly attractions, including a butterfly house and a “Sproutopia” children’s area.
You can buy tickets at more than 75 local nurseries or online.
If you wait until the show, tickets will cost you $20 at the door.

You can find the photo here. And to show how much the city has grown, here’s a shot of a couple of the latest additions to the skyline.

The march of development won’t spare the landmark Sunset Bowl in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood.
MyBallard reports that workers plan to take down the building Wednesday after removing some additional asbestos from the building and freon from the air conditioning units.
The popular bowling alley was sold and closed a little less than a year ago. It’s sat empty ever since, while development plans moved forward.
