Historic Wallingford invites you to celebrate our business district’s “reopening” from the pandemic with a neighborhood treasure hunt. This fun, self-guided activity is a chance to get the whole family outside and explore Wallingford’s historical architecture and flourishes of art. So grab the kids and go for a walk along N 45th.

The treasure hunt leads you along N 45th, and sometimes just to the north or south, to solve clues and discover things about the history of Wallingford.

How It Works –

• Pick up a treasure hunt map today at one of our five sponsor businesses:
  • Wally Pets, 4411 Wallingford Ave N
  • Murphy’s Pub, 1928 N 45th St
  • Swanson’s Shoe Repair, 2305 N 45th St
  • Seattle Pops, 1401 N 45th St
  • Archie McPhee, 1300 N 45th St
• The sponsors are offering prizes to be awarded to the winners.
• Just check the pictures and each clue on the map to find what is pictured and answer the question asked. Once you have written down all your answers, return your completed entry to the box at one of the sponsor shops by September 15. Incomplete maps are OK, so return your map even if you can’t answer all the questions. Winners will be announced and prizes awarded soon after the 15th.
