Talking Tofurky: Seattle Mayor Ed Murray poses for a photo as he “pardons” a Tofurky, a soy-based turkey alternative, at Seattle City Hall on Friday. Spokesman Jason Kelly says Murray posed with the tofu turkey at City Hall to draw attention to hunger in the community. It will be donated to Rainier Valley Food Bank. Kelly acknowledged that Seattle’s reputation in the rest of the country is “a little bit ‘granola’ ” and that Murray was poking fun at himself. Communications director Jeff Reading said Tuesday that the mayor has no plan to pardon any of Seattle’s urban turkeys “either the literal or figurative variety.”
