Chris S. Witwer likes to call herself Wallyhood’s “Lower Wallingford Correspondent.” Chris is a former Texan (is there any such thing?) who came to Seattle in 2005 for three reasons: weather, scenery, and coffee culture. It has taken her four years to begin to understand Seattle humor, but she’s getting there. Chris is a bureaucrat by day, and caffeine-fueled blogger when she’s not reading novels or pretending to write one. She lives with her partner, Laura, and two cats — Dolce and Molly, and uses the internet to make fun of stuff on her personal blog, http://felsputzer.wordpress.com.

    Correction on the phone number for the Burke-Gilman Traill work party. Should be: 206-818-4857 .

    Thanks, Barb. I’ve corrected it here, but it looks like the press release had the 848 number in it. You might want to follow up with anyone else who received the press release. Thanks again!

    Could you change the phone number on the events calendar? Thanks!
