Wallingford Farmers Market: Last Day

We almost forgot! Today is the last day for the Wallingford Farmers Market in Meridian Park for 2011. Chef Michael Whisenhunt of Joule will be providing the cooking demo at 4 pm and, of course, there's lots of produce. From their blog: Today is a great day to stock up on storage crops like winter squash,garlic, shelling beans, apples, potatoes and these storage onions from Lyall Farms. Storage crops last long into the cool, dark, wet months, allowing you to enjoy our local bounty all year long. Just store them in a cool,…

Oliver Bazinet forwarded us this note, penned by Waterway 18: Dear Wallingford, I think it’s time for a formal introduction - my name is Waterway 18. Nice to meet you. I’m not a loud, high profile waterway so sometimes it’s hard to be noticed. In fact, I’m just a little parklet hanging out down along Lake Union between Dunato’s boat yard and the big empty lot next to the Gasworks Marina. Sometimes you might bring Fido, your paddleboard, canoe or kayak…

According to some folks who have walked by, the sign in the door says they are temporarily closed due to a water leak, but it's not clear how long that will last (one Twitterer said she's been by three days this week, and they've been closed each time). It's bad timing: they just sold over 2,000 coupons through Groupon…
