Local dinner menu served right off the land? Check. Fresh flowers straight from the farm? Yep. Locally built suit, locally made gown… You two are all over the 100 mile wedding. Make sure your friends and family can participate too by registering at Sound Trading Company.

Lilah Steece, a Seattleite with a background in development and event planning for non-profits, co-founded the company when she realized that there were no options for a gift registry that benefited the environment and the community. Putting to work her ability to bring folks together and procure goods and services from local artisans, she created one. (Sound Trading also offers baby and general gift registration.) She still hasn’t heard of anything else like her site, so if the Seattle model takes off, perhaps Steece will, as they say, spread the love.

Though you can’t sign up for blenders or bath towels at Sound Trading, there are some nice options for dinner and serving ware made right around the corner, not to mention eco-travel packages and some smart local services. My favorite: Tiny’s Organic CSA box. Perfect gift for the couple who has everything, including a dedication to sustainable living.

Obviously, Sound Trading is an add-on, alternative registry. Do your department, home, and tabletop stores to cover your bases and ensure that Aunt Ida doesn’t freak out over how weird and alterna you’ve become, but then consider others like this one, as well as charity organizations and outdoor marts. Chances are good that your guests will appreciate the options, and anyway, it’s the modern, and very Northwest, thing to do.
