Seattle Vending Machines Get Healthier

Share On Social!

The city of Seattle is helping to make the healthy choice the easy choice for residents. The Seattle City Council on March 4th 2013 unanimously adopted a bill requiring all vending machines operated on city property to stock at least 50 percent “healthier” and “healthiest” food and beverage selections as defined by Public Health Seattle & King County. Seattle’s Department of Parks and Recreation has led the way by successfully implementing the King County Healthy Vending Guidelines of “Healthier” and “Healthiest” choices in all vending machines in city park facilities in 2010.
