Just the other day I ran into someone at one of our locally owned restaurants who was asking me about my business, Mercer Island Marital Arts. I was telling her all about what we do, and I happened to mention that I frequent this particular restaurant largely because it is locally owned and as a Mercer Island business owner myself I felt that it was important to support our community. The woman, to my surprise, “gaffawed” at me. So I asked her what she did. It turns out she also has a bus

When was the last time you opened a phone book? I know that I can’t remember the last time I didn’t look something up on line or on my phone and yet I keep getting piles of phone books delivered to my door step every year.
City wide Seattle produces a total of 17,500 tons of phone books every year. That is a lot of trees. So today, I did my part and stopped the piles of junk mail and phone books for both my residence and Mercer Island Marital Arts by visiting
