I believe they are first generation immigrants, but have set down roots over many seasons so they would now qualify as local. Too bad they aren't very friendly.

The larger, unanswerable question is at what point will the nonsensical overuse of the term organic fully diute its meaning?

We have several dry cleaners near us (outside Seattle) that claim to be organic. But I figure it's meaningless since there are no standards or inspections. Would be nice if they were just certifiably chemical free, though.

I think the cleaners think their customers care about organic, so they put it on the sign. Yes, it's totally meaningless.

I've never used these particular cleaners. I use a non-organic one!

the major is the freshness and not the locality... interesting post

I think all of us here were in need of something like this , thanks for providing writing this post.

I think this is the general debate between local grown and international imports, which one is better? Are any actually better or is it all a myth? Who knows, I personally always would prefer local grown organic.

Fresh organic dry cleaning.nothing like that in my neck of the woods, chemicals still rule.
