Kokkaku – Japanese Meat House

Christie August 25, 2017 1 Comment

Reeve Baily, a Wallyhood reader and neighbor, alerted us of a new steakhouse in the old Miyabi place at 2208 N 45th Street.  He set out to get the story for us and was able to chat with the owners and the chef of this new Japanese inspired meat house called Kokkaku.  I love Japanese cuisine and had not heard of this new place yet, so I was happy to have Reeve give us the scoop.  Check out their website and read his interview below:

A few months ago, I was walking my usual route home and I saw the …

Investigation in Green Lake

Christie August 24, 2017 11 Comments

 

I personally only like to share good news.  News about the artists, farmers, businesses and neighbors in our community, the things that make where we live great. I like to find beauty and bring light to the small and lovely things that surround us.

But this terrible story of the 3 brothers in the house near Green Lake is deeply disturbing and I feel the community should be made aware.

I cannot bring myself to write about it or even give you a preview, so if you have not yet read or heard of this sad and still unfolding …

Fourth of July in the Hood

Christie June 30, 2017 5 Comments

The 4th of July in Wallingford!

In the summer of 1994, on July 4th,  I rolled into Seattle for the very first time.  I pulled over to the side of the road near Gasworks Park and watched the fireworks while sitting on the hood of my car.  The fireworks, the lake, the space needle in the background – I was hooked.  I moved to Seattle that December.  I have been a resident of the Wallingford area since 1995, and the 4th of July on Lake Union still holds a special place in my heart.  

I have spent most of those …
