Google Goes To the Aquarium With Seattle Offers

Search engine giant Google has launched its daily deals site, Google Offers, into Seattle, with a new deal from the Seattle Aquarium. Google Offers--a competitor to Groupon, LivingSocial, and a slew of other daily deals sites--said it expanded into Seattle today, along with four other cities, including Austin, Boston, D.C., and Denver. The company's first deal in the Seattle area is a one day admission to the Seattle Aquarium for $9.50, a deal from the usual $19 price. Google Offers was already available in Portland, which it had launched as one of its first cities earlier this summer.
