We're catching up on our mail from our vacation, so this is a bit dated, but this past Thursday Aaron wrote: Have you or anyone you know had an issue with funky-tasting water starting yesterday (Sept 2nd)? At our house (N 53rd + Woodlawn Ave N), we starting having some "moldy-tasting" water. Unless its the pipes to our specific house, this should be something others are experiencing in the neighborhood. I'll talk with my neighbors today to see if they have…
We're catching up from our vacation (and noticing that some of our clever robot posts did not work out as cleverly as we planned). We did note that the cougar story has reached an happy ending. We saw this news release from yesterday from the City: Seattle Parks and Recreation will re-open Discovery Park at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 6, after the capture of a cougar that had been seen in the park. Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) officials…
This is a ghost post. Even though it is appearing on the blog on Friday at 3 pm, it's actually being written 4 days earlier, like a time capsule, or message from the past. You see, at the time this post appears, we'll be off in another state, frolicking and causing what mayhem we can, with no access to the Internetz (or, at least, no desire to access the Internetz). Fortunately, as they always do, the fine folks over at My…
Spokespeople, a group that takes monthly group bike rides, is taking off again this Saturday, September 5th. Cathy Tuttle writes: Hello Spokespeople! We’re riding next Saturday, September 5, from 2 to 4 p.m. from Wallingford. We’ll climb the hill to Phinney Ridge through a little used trail that ends in the Woodland Park Rose Garden. Then we’ll head to Fremont Peak Park to enjoy the view before coming back to Wallingford. Last month, on a hot August 1, we biked on…
This report is submitted by Lower Wallingford Correspondent Chris Witwer. Were you planning to hold a garage or sale this summer, but never got around to it? There's still time of course, but we have a better idea. Particularly if you're a slacker like me. A number of Wallingford area residents and workers are joining colleagues throughout Seattle to hold a mid-September Yard Sale benefitting a young family struggling with medical bills. Young Maarten was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was just 3 months…
We almost forgot: tonight is Wallingford Art Walk, and it's the second to last one of 2009, so don't miss it. Unfortunately, this one snuck up on us a bit, so we aren't sure exactly who's showing where, but we do know that if you stroll down 45th Street, you'll see your neighbors moseying from shop to shop, eating noshes and sipping wines and you can them where the good stuff is. And for certain, the Old Dog & the New…
Sure, sure, you know all about the Wallingford Market (Wednesdays 3 - 7 pm at the Wallingford Center) and how you can get fresh, local produce and small batch prepared foods. But did you know you can get your bike fixed? Last week, we rapped with Ross Donaldson, owner and sole proprietor of Delicious Wheels, a mobile bike shop. That's right mobile! Ross carries the basics with him in a trailer behind his bike, and he makes house calls to tune…
