It seems as though 2009 will be the year of recession-inspired backyard chicken coops. (Those lawn-mowing goats are so 2007.) We've been pretty excited about all the recent chicken coop sightings around Seattle. Even if they are only a city-limited, three domestic fowl per single-family lot, we still think they're cute. However, we have recently learned that Seattle is lagging behind on the chicken coop craze.

Neighborlogs news intern Lucas just posted this story about a couple raising chickens in the Central District--"City code permits up to three domestic fowl in addition to up to three other small animals on single-family lots"--which reminded us that we've also seen a chicken coop in Montlake, of all places! Quel agriculteur! UPDATE: Commenters confirm that chicken coops have been spotted in Wallingford and Ravenna, too. Look, they're cute!
