Concerts begin at Remlinger Farms, but community concerns linger
Remlinger Farms in Carnation, Washington, is a 350-acre working farm. It’s celebrated for its family-friendly attractions, including amusement parks, petting zoos, berry picking, pumpkins, hayrides. There’s an on-site cafe and brewery.
And now it’s become the Seattle area's hottest new concert venue.
Partnering with Seattle Theater Group, the farm is hosting a brand-new concert series. The 6000-capacity outdoor space has booked performers like Portugal the Man, Mt. Joy and Elvis Costello.
BUT tensions are brewing between the farm and some vocal community members who oppose its existence.
