Midsummer in Mid-Wallingford

  • Post author:

In the few blocks around Dicks one afternoon.

At Sunnyside and 44th, a man with a shaved head, eyeglasses and dark crimson monk’s robes gets out of a car with Utah license plates.

Two blocks over, a disproportionately large inflated blue and green tower looms up in the yard of the house next to Mosaic Coffee.  On closer inspection it looks like a child’s water slide.

Inside Mosaic itself, my daughter sits reading her book while a woman on a couch near her has a long, coherent conversation with nobody.  She’s not wearing a headset.

A couple of days earlier, this couple stopped at Dicks for a post-wedding snack.

Helen has lived in Wallingford for 16 years and think it’s the best neighborhood in Seattle, possibly the world. She has worn a track between her house, QFC and the library and spends a lot time poking her nose into things. She is a mother, does volunteer work and is interested in local, green and child-related issues. She has an advanced degree in English literature and thus reads a lot and enjoys the craft of writing. She also works part-time for her husband’s software company (doesn’t everyone have a software company around here?).

    Sometimes the privacy of the person makes it hard to ask for a picture.
