Now And Then

  • Post author:

We were out of town this last week (Atlanta, if you must know), so we’re doing a bit of catch-up. The other Wallingford blog had a nice shot this past Sunday from the Seattle Times Pacific Northwest Magazine’s Now and Then column showing a pictures of the corner of Wallingford Ave N and N 45th St from 1950.

It appears there weren’t cigarette butts littering the sidewalk outside of Babalu in 1950.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    It’s a much nicer corner without the QFC parking lot. I hope to see it become a bit less suburban again some day.

    I abhor that babalu place – what is with those colored lights?
