My wife and I will join the positive comments! We were worried when passing by during their first month or so, to see empty tables, but that seems to be lessening as folks discover their genuine heartfelt service, friendly greetings, and delicious food! This is some of the best Thai in Seattle; no small trick, with at least a half dozen other choices just in Wallingford alone. Please try them!!!

I agree! The people are so very nice. Genuine. And the food is good. I have enjoyed the same dishes you loved, too!

To those who have not yet tried Silver Tray, give them a whirl. My husband and I have been very impressed and order in from them at least once a week. I found their pad thai to be the most authentic to what I ate in Thailand. The beef coriander salad is awesome as is the tom yum. I haven’t been disappointed in anything we’ve ordered. Lucky and Apple are the sweetest. They want your business and are genuinely nice people. Looking forward to having them in Wallingfird for years to come.

I go to a grocery store to shop. Period. Not to be an observer of drugged out or drunk or highly impaired people hanging around. I have been yelled at before by that other drunk guy who stops by occasionally. And I have taken time to listen to store staff who have to clean up after the mess some stoop sitters leave behind. And gotten to listen to yelling and screaming inside store from some of their pals.
I used to chat wiht the lady on the wheelchair who sold her potholders.. she was not drugged or drunk and had a clear face and had created a a little service.

I am not hostile to them. i dislike the law breaking and potential peace breaking also.

WOW, what a story – right here in Wallingford! I had been wondering how they managed to turn a profit in that expensive spot.

Yoyo, are you saying that you were the victim of a crime? Did Adriam carry out that crime? You seem very hostile both to street people and those that buy them mochas. Your only “real” complaint is from 20 years ago with a different street vendor.

ALSO, most likely anything the guy said that was sitting in “Adrian’s” spot when Anne went there that night is a sad attempt to slander her name. So from then on out no one will believe her story, think she is a fraud, and just so he can make a few extra bucks that people will give to him instead of her due to the fact that her name has been shredded to pieces. Niceee job guy!

Such a loss! I can hardly believe this. I met so many people who knew Felipe, and were touched by his kind heart and beautiful spirit.
I did not know him, but remember donating when he sent out a request for donations so he could tape his album, Sing with Senor. I was touched by his wording, and again when he personally wrote to thank me.
It seems impossible that such a strong vibrant soul is gone.
I am sending my thoughts and prayers to his family.

As a very frequent customer at QFC, I end up going to the grocery store almost every day, and see “Adrian”, or whatever her suposed name is, 90% of the time outside. She is one of the few non-confrontationl homeless people outside of the store which I do appreciate.Generally I don’t give change to the beggars outside because lets face it, you just never know where its gonna go or what habit it will feed. Although I realize you can’t prevent panhandlers from begging outside , I don’t like to feel confronted every time I want to go grab some milk or eggs at the store. I have an 18 month old son and am pregnant with another and have never felt so vulnerable. Yes I want my son to grow up with diversity and to realize that we are not all so fortunate and that helping others is a good thing. But at the same time, Wallingford IS a family neighborhood. Whether “Adrian” buys/sells drugs or not, the problem still persists in any neighborhood, urban or suburban. It is our job as citizens, parents, and neighbors to keep a watchful eye on these happenings and keep those informed who wish to be aware and help make our community safe. This is the place that we have chosen to live in and if we choose to investigate or make a stand against any illegal activity with or without merit or proof than that is our perogative- if you don’t like it as a panhandler, then move on to some other place. If you don’t like it as reader then don’t read the article- maybe you should ask Adrian to babysit your kids, if you are so comfortable with her story- I mean hey, she needs the extra money! We are all innocent until proven guilty but that doesn’t mean we need to keep to ourselves if we suspect something astray in our community. There is nothing wrong with someone reporting this story. They felt an emotional impact from someone they wanted to help and were deceived. I would actually like to praise Anne for keeping us on our toes and keeping watching out for the sake of our community and kids.

whew!

I am glad I read this article and participated.

We can all disagree to disagree without ” throw on your party hats” or ” you make me sick” remarks. Until you have been a victim of crimes carried out by people who hang around in front of the store, then it is easier to say’ be compassionate’ or to buy them a mocha. When you get to know some of the store staff who have to clean up the bathrooms and deal with drugged violence in their store and outside then you may have a different opinion.
