Magnuson Park is outside our bailiwick, but we're big enough fans of the edible garden that we're going to post it anyway: Wallingford-based Seattle Tilth will be holding their first-ever Early Spring Edible Plant Sale this Saturday, March 20, 9 a.m.- 2 p.m at Magnuson Park, Hangar 30. If you want your pick of the choicest plants, head on over tonight, Friday from 5:30 - 7:00 pm for their Early Bird Sale. Sale benefits Seattle Tilth. Don't worry if you miss…
Vanessa Ho over at the Seattle P-I ran a story yesterday about the Festering Pits of Seattle (not titled as such, but perhaps it ought to be). Seems Wallingford is not alone in its despair over abandoned construction projects, and the city is considering legislation to encourage developers with stalled projects, such as we have at the corner of 40th and Stone Way, to do something more constructive while they wait.

Mike "Build a Wallingford Community Center or die trying" Ruby has organized the walks in years past, and has asked us to put out a call for…
Our first clue came from Chuck: I just walked by a door marked Grizzled Wizard on 45th between the UPS store and the Erotic Bakery. I did a bit of Google sleuthing and found a liquor license application by Savoy Foods and Joseph L. Couden. But my investigative abilities end there. Since you're a guy in the know, or at least a guy who knows guys in the know, would you be able to find out any more info? Always up…

Sessions are on Monday-Friday of spring break week, from 9 to 3 p.m. Tiki Tiki Tembo Kids ages 5-8 can practice and perform in the Soup’s version of this classic. Final performance will be open…
