Senator Patty Murray will be at Wallingford’s Izilla Toys (in the Wallingford Center, 4400 Wallingford Ave N) this Monday, May 3 at 10 am for a bit of PR theatrics. From her press release:

May Patty Murray’s tennis shoes (she ran as “a mom in tennis shoes”) rest easily in the closet. Her record on behalf of veterans, both in voting against Iraq’s invasion and in aiding returning veterans, puts her on dry land in the political swamp. On with the combat boots Murray and kick some …
btw, this is not an event for the community as it says on Sustainable Wallingford. please don’t try to attend thinking it’s a gathering or big discussion group. Izilla has a music class that starts at 10:30 and they’d love to kick everyone out by then! thanks.
Why Izilla and not say, the Senior Center? Seems like a really bizarre choice of venues.
if anyone’s still interested – yes, i agree! it was hastily put together by a Murray staffer who knows Jude & Jen of Izilla. i also thought it was odd that, considering the subject matter, they didn’t seem to know much about the community they were doing this in! which is why as soon as i heard Fri, i tried to get hold of her offices here and in DC, but no one called me back. i made sure to mention our senior center to an aide of heres i’d met before, and to her herself, actually, afterwards.
luckily, the music class began just after 10:30!
