Sometimes -- not very often -- but sometimes, newsworthy events take place outside of Wallingford. Here's this week's sampling: "One of the best known and most popular gardens in Eastlake is in trouble with the City of Seattle..." writes the Eastlake Ave Blog. Looks like there's a little controversy brewing, and maybe a four-way stop coming to E. Lynn and Minor E. Let's hope the solution extends beyond throwing fines at a parking strip gardener. CHS Capitol Hill Seattle reports a…

Although we were more impetuous then, it was not a guerilla invasion of the industrial ruins, for Richard Haag, the architect who proposed, planned, and carried the conversion of gas factory to wind swept park through much political and physical turmoil was complicit.

It started almost by accident: his wife had…
Since there isn’t a whole heck of a lot going on in Wallingford this weekend, we wouldn’t blame you if you trotted over to Capitol Hill for its annual block party. The three-day passes are long gone but there are still single day tickets available for Saturday and Sunday. Just be sure to come back to Wallingford afterwards! For those of you sticking around, here’s some cool stuff to check out: BBQ at Leny’s Saturday, July 24th from 1 – 4…
You may remember coverage of CouchFest Films, the super-indie film festival held on the couches of your neighbors around Wallingford, Fremont and environs, as we covered their 2009 festival. Well, they'll be back in November with an abbreviated program, and if you've like to participate, now's the time to speak up: The third annual Couch Fest Films will be on Sunday, November 7th. Though our board members are on a sabbatical this year flirting with malaria in Honduras, our staff have…
