Wallyhood to Sue Seattle Times Over Infringement

Jack April 1, 2023 Leave a Comment

We have learned that a suit by Wallyhood of the Seattle Times is imminent and may come in the next few days to weeks. At issue are a number of “methods and practices” unique to the blog that have been copied by the Times without apparent license or attribution.

When asked to summarize the issues, editor Megan Dulgar Okabayashi pointed to the most serious transgression by the Times. “We tend to end every sentence with a period, and then that is followed by a space. Our readers look for that. And I love that about us. But if you look …

Ship Canal Encampment: Gone! (…for now…)

Gary Shigenaka March 27, 2023 8 Comments

It’s happened. Long promised, routinely ignored, obfuscated and talked around—and tenaciously covered by KOMO—the dismantling and cleanup of the notorious Ship Canal encampment is well underway on the day that it commenced (Monday). KOMO, which must have a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to encampment reporting, had featured a story that said today would be the day. The State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), on whose property this camp has existed and persisted since sometime after the last Ice Age, had committed to removing the encampment by the end of the month in a letter to John Stanford International School (JSIS) parents.  This …

Major Fire at the Seattle Boat Company

Gary Shigenaka March 22, 2023 Leave a Comment

Ahhh, springtime in Seattle!  Ain’t it grand?  I went outside this morning to plant a few seeds, and wallowed in…the acrid smell of burnt plastic, fiberglass, and hydraulic fluid.  It is usually just exploded propane tanks and charred tents wafting in the morning air, so I knew something was up. Or more correctly, upwind, as I was downwind of the terrible fire at Seattle Boat Company (across Northlake from Voula’s Offshore Café, on the east side of the Ship Canal Bridge), which became engulfed in flames early this morning. The Seattle Times and other sources report a 32-year-old man was …

A Take on Visions of Wallingford Film Screening and Conversation

Julie Martin March 19, 2023 1 Comment

I was delighted to attend the Visions of Wallingford Film Screening this past week. Though, it went way beyond just a documentary viewing. It was a curated evening of community and conversation that surprised, challenged and invigorated me.

The event was held at the Good Shepherd Center theatre on the 4th floor and the evening sun streamed through the vintage stained glass. After receiving our packets for the night, there was time at the beginning to wander among the tables at the sides of the room where community organizations shared information. It was wonderful to meet contributors to this blog …
