Some of you may have seen posters and postings on a van that was stolen from Wallingford Saturday night...with a dog inside. We wanted you to know there's a happy ending! Sunday morning, we saw a post on Facebook from our friend Zoey, reporting that her van had been stolen, with a dog she had rescued from the pound inside, which we reposted the Wallyhood Facebook page. By Sunday afternoon, King 5 had picked up the story, and, it turns out,…
Now, now, don't get all freaked out, it's not going far. We spotted someone loading shelving into the storefront next to Petosa's Accordion shop, near Kate's Pub, where the martial arts supply store was, and thought we were getting something new, but turns out it's just a bit of intra-neighborhood shifting. Scott Tomlin of Comics Dungeon explains: We are planning on moving by the end of next week, earlier if we can pull it off. We are moving for a couple…

Here's more info: This year I've remodeled and moved to a different house in Wallingford (yes, of COURSE, in Wallingford), and am now trying to get my 'old' house ready to rent.

A bit beyond our borders, but if you should happen to be peddling over the Fremont Bridge, you may get a gander of the thing pictured at right. It's taking a gander of you, too: [Last week], the Cascade Bicycle Club and the Seattle Department of Transportation unveiled the new bicycle counter totem now installed at the north end of the Fremont Bridge. The totem, which is more than seven feet tall, has a digital display of the number of bicyclists…

Laura writes: My family walked up the street on Friday night hoping to get some great Mexican food at Casa Azul, only to be met with a darkened building and locked doors! Are they leaving? Kaput? What's the deal? Do you know or can you find out? I'm feeling very sad. They serve really delicious food - much better than the cheese fest that was there before them... Thanks! Wallyhood res. I also noticed the darkened space and yesterday, I saw…
Join the Burke-Gilman Trail Urban Orchard Stewards on Sunday from noon to 3 pm at their 2nd Annual Cider Pressing event.
