Wallingford Community Center, you ask? What Wallingford Community Center?

Indeed! Phinney Ridge has its amazing Phinney Neighborhood Center, Ballard has a community Center, Laurelhurst has a community center. In fact, it seems like all the cool kids have a community center. What about Wallingford?

Well, it seems our turn may be up. There is a belief among the Wallingford leadership that the city may be finding a spot in its budget to help Wallingford create a neighborhood community center. If so, it’s up to us to decide how to use it. To that end, there’s a community meeting this Thursday, October 1st from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at the St Benedict School (4811 Wallingford Ave N) to discuss what facilities should be included.

If you can’t be there, the organizers encourage you to share your views through an on-line survey. More info at the Wallingford Community Center web site.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
