Seattle mayor pardons Tofurky, because Seattle.

This is what Thanksgiving in Seattle looks like, apparently.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray pardoned a tofu turkey Friday.

...

“The mayor has a sense of humor,” Kelly said. “He wanted to do something that would attract attention.”

Added Kelly, “He was also poking fun at himself as a public official. Seattle has a reputation around the country for being a little bit ‘granola.’ ”
