Emerald City Search and Year of the Frog

Here is another opportunity to celebrate frogs this year. The third annual Emerald City Search will take a frog theme in honor of The Year of the Frog. The goal is to find a special medallion hidden in a public place somewhere in Seattle, and whoever finds it first will win $2,500 in cash and prizes.

The Woodland Park Zoo and the University of Washington have announced that this fun citywide search will begin today! Look for a daily clue in the Seattle Times starting on October 15th and continuing for ten subsequent days. You can read more about it at Emerald City Search. Good luck on your search!
