New Business Roundup January 2020

Katy January 19, 2020 9 Comments

There are a few changes to Wallingford businesses in the new year. First, the good news. There are a slew of new places to eat and drink in the neighborhood this year:

First up is Dumpling the Noodle, in the old Wallyburger location at 1719 N 45th St. It specializes in hand-made dumplings,  hand-pulled noodles (lamen), buns, wontons, and bubble tea. It is open for lunch and dinner from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. every day.

Next up is Mediterranean restaurant Almanqal Grill in the old Bodrum Bistro spot at 1712 N 45th St. They serve fresh, hand-made Mediterranean food and bread baked from scratch in their traditional brick oven.

Last up is Niles Peacock Kitchen & Bar at 4025 Stone Way N. Owned by popular Edmonds mixologist Niles Peacock, this cocktail-centric bar has a large selection of cocktails as well as a menu of shared plates and flatbread pizzas. It is open Tue-Thurs and Sun 3-10 p.m. and Fri-Sat 3-11 p.m.

Next, the bad news. Following on the heels of the closing of The Grizzled Wizard and Alphabet Soup, a couple more Wallingford businesses are closing up shop. The Wallingford location of Paper Delights, at 2205 N 45th St., is closed. However, you can still visit their Burien location. Also, Crackerjack Contemporary Crafts, in the Wallingford Center, is closing after 34 years.

    We had a nice lunch at Dumpling the Noodle – you can tell the noodles were hand made. Worth a try, IMO!

    Alchemy Real Estate has a small sign on side of old Zaw/Bill Butcher building that building is sold. Three homeless people were in sleeping bags on sidewalk in front. ( c re c)

      That spot has been a blight for so long. It was even worse there last year when there were tents along with car campers. They were also tapping into the power on the block, not to mention stolen goods, drugs, assaults, etc. But we got Alchemy to to kick the squatters out and put up “no trespassing” signs, and the vagrants stayed away for a while. But they’ve been coming back lately, so at this point, I’m like, just build the damn thing already.

      Btw, I’ve never understood why property owners should have to put “No trespassing” signs to get cops to protect our property rights. It should be obvious it’s private property and that squatters arent welcome.

        Yesterday I called Alchemy- the rep said they would send someone out. He does not know when construction will take place. (c re c)

    What would be a desired business at the ole Bill the Butcher? A craft beer place?
