Wallingford Mosaic Art Tour Recap

Julie Martin June 16, 2022 1 Comment

This post comes to us from Tara Katz, Director of Fremont Community School and the owner of Tara’s Tots (both in Wallingford).

Had you been walking around Wallingford Saturday June 4, over by the Good Shepherd Center’s Tilth Alliance, or down N 45th St, you may have noticed a small cluster of people and a dog being filmed as they traveled along. If you had known any better, you could have joined and walked along with them because these urbanites were meandering around the ‘hood, marveling at the local talent who have created public art using mosaics as their medium. …

Summer Solstice in the Garden

Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice 2022 in the Northern Hemisphere is Tuesday, June 21st.  In Seattle, we will enjoy daylight from 5:11 A.M. to 09:10 PM.  Notice I said “daylight” and not “sunshine” (deep sigh).  The Farmer’s Almanac did not get it right for our June this year since they predicted warm and sunny weather with 1” of precipitation. Every home gardener I know has been lamenting the state of their tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, so I thought it might be good to think about other crops that can be successful regardless of the weather in the Pacific Northwest.

Lumen Bioscience Expands into Essential Baking Space

Jack June 8, 2022 Leave a Comment

Lumen Bioscience has expanded into the space formerly occupied by the Essential Bakery on the northeast corner of 34th and Woodlawn just east of the transfer station. Lumen’s main office is just kitty corner across the street at 1441 N 34th St. The Essential Baking Company closed down their Wallingford cafe back in 2020, and the space has sat empty ever since.

I tried repeatedly to contact them to find out what they intend to use the new space for, but I got no replies. The old Essential Baking space seems considerably smaller than the space Lumen currently …
