Introducing Historic Wallingford

Glenn December 13, 2017 1 Comment

I have just learned of an exciting new Wallingford organization, Historic Wallingford.

A group of very enthusiastic Wallingford residents have developed this organization, had it incorporated as a non-profit entity in May 2017 and will orchestrate its official launch in January.

Why Historic Wallingford? In years past, local architects and historians led walks and tours in Wallingford to highlight our unusual concentration of architecturally significant buildings. Seeking to expand upon this, it was suggested after discussions with several noted Seattle historians, that a formal organization could best expand and carry the work forward – hence Historic Wallingford.

The group plans …

Last Friday I sat down with mayoral candidate Cary Moon to ask her a series of questions about her candidacy and how her election might effect the residents of Wallingford.

HALA Focus Groups—A Study in Failure?

Glenn February 16, 2017 8 Comments

Editor’s Note: The opinions expressed reflect those of the author only, not the website or editors. 

A significant part of Mayor Murray’s Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda (HALA) was a community-based focus group process consisting of 170 members selected from over 800 applicants from all areas of the city (http://www.seattle.gov/hala/focus-groups). Wallingford had five residents participate in the focus group process. The stated goal of the HALA focus group process was “to elicit constructive dialogue about affordable housing programs and other HALA recommendations. Specifically, we need your help to shape the land use changes required to implement the Mandatory Housing …
