Want to live with others that share your interests instead of just renting out a room from someone? I'm looking to form an urban co-op house in North Seattle. Seeking others and a place for rent to call home. The foundation of this co-op home is community as well as sustainable living.

Let's get together and teach each other to grow our own vegi's, plant fruit trees, raise chickens, make beer, make biodiesel, retrofit our houses for alternative energy. Or we can just swap seeds and can our extra tomatoes. You can do it because you love to garden, or because you want to survive the zombie apocalypse. Either way, if you're making your city home a little more self sufficient, then this group's for you.
