Please Welcome Tom Watson & Christine Frazer, Our Newest Bloggers

During the last week, Renton Patch has welcomed Tom Watson and Christine Frazer as our newest bloggers.

You may be familiar with Watson through his work with King County and as the author of the EcoConsumer column in The Seattle Times.

In his first post on Patch, Green info for the picking, Watson recycles information from recent email queries, a past EcoConsumer coulmn and recent recearch.

So if you've ever wondered about cat litter composting, re-purposing building materials, or fruit-picking liabilities, check out Watson's column.

Frazer's first post, Smart Meters... Smart as a Bird, takes a different angle. And she's taking her concern to the Renton City Council.

"If you find this intriguing and would like the Renton city council to halt the smart meters until research can be done, here is the online petition I signed to ask the city for a moratorium."

However, following a stream of comments, Frazer may have a change of heart. What are your thoughts?
