Thanks, Wallingford!

14839591314_43a86f9edf_zThanks to all the great Seattle Night Out parties that welcomed Zev and I! We had a ball playing in bouncy houses and drinking mojitos (we didn’t both do both, obviously), firing water balloon catapults, biking down driveways, and enjoying rabbit paella washed down with cthulhu elixir.

It was a great opportunity to meet so many people who live in the neighborhood, and to hear what’s on people’s minds. Not surprisingly, there was concern over the car prowls and packages disappearing from porches, as well as more local issues, like the upsurge in traffic caused by the reduced traffic lanes along Woodland Park. Mostly, though, it was just nice to hear so many people introducing themselves to their neighbors. I heard a few people lament that it only happens once a year.

Thanks!

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.
