More than 20 needy seniors will enjoy a homemade Thanksgiving dinner thanks to the hard work of the students at KapKa Cooperative School, located just south of Woodland Park Zoo. For the past week, kids from Kindergarten to 4th grade have been scaling up Thanksgiving recipes, grocery shopping, cooking and prepping food that they’ll deliver to low-income seniors in north Seattle. This much-anticipated annual event gives the kids a chance to do some math, follow directions and strengthen other academic skills. But more than that, it’s a great opportunity for the students to give back to the community and open their hearts to people who might be otherwise forgotten and overlooked during the holidays.

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.
