2012 Chinook bookThe Chinook Book is back! It's Seattle's guide to simple, approachable, affordable ideas for local living. As a coupon book, it's incredibly easy to use. I penciled it out — last year our family saved about $150 without even trying. This is a win-win-win — for you, for the local scene, and for Graham Hill School. It's a no-nonsense fundraiser for southeast Seattle's most integrated public elementary. Books are $20, and there's a handy mobile app too. Last year these sales helped Graham Hill Elementary fund tutors, the Powerful Schools program, and busing for after-school programs.
