Welcome to Wallyhood

Jordan Jordan January 11, 2009 8 Comments


Welcome to Wallyhood.org, the neighborhood blog for Wallingford, Seattle. Fair game for the blog include neighborhood events, business openings and closings, police blotter reports, resident profiles, found objects, and pretty much anything relevant to that little area East of Stone Way, West of I-5, South of 60th and North of the Lake that we call home. Story ideas may come from the Wallingford Community Council, Wallingford Chamber of Commerce, Weaving Wallingford, neighborhood gossips, meddling kids and the occasional snake oil salesman.

We’ll be encouraging neighborhood cooperation, such as a backyard produce swap day, and encouraging information sharing, such as a maps of street art, sidewalk fruit trees, and garage sales.

If you’ve got a tip or an idea or are interested in being a regular contributor, e-mail me at jordan (at) hive-mind.com. See you soon!

    It would be great if, at some point, you and your readers could profile/comment on the issue of child care in Wallingford. My wife and I are looking at this center:

    Any feedback, suggestions, and general information would be greatly appreciated!

    What about the huge explosion around 54th on Saturday night… I never did find out what it was.

    Welcome to the Seattle neighborhood blogosphere! (I’m one of the editors of the Beacon Hill Blog.) We used to live in Wallingford, for 3 1/2 years near 38th and Meridian.

    Excellent blog name and header graphic, by the way. 🙂

    Blake, my wife and I are new parents (check these pics of 8 week old Zevin Rolihlahla Schwartz: http://tinyurl.com/zevin), so this a topic near and dear to our hearts. We’ll write on it shortly, or, if you’ve got something to say, guest posts are always welcome!

    Thanks Jordan! Cute baby boy!

    I’ll be looking forward to your post on childcare; we are at the beginning stages and haven’t been able to find anything yet 🙁

    Obviously we aren’t THAT much of a kid zone. McDonalds couldn’t make it!
