Accidents at Wallingford and N 41st Street

23 Comments

On Thursday April 2nd, I was driving on N 42nd Street towards Wallingford Ave N when I saw what appeared to be the aftermath of a car accident on Wallingford. There was a black SUV with some pretty bad damage to the front and a girl on the sidewalk crying with a woman.

I thought it was strange because my husband had just witnessed an accident at Wallingford and N 41st in December with a car in a truck. I requested data on car accidents for the intersection of Wallingford Ave N and N 41st and N 42nd Streets. WSDOT …

Bootyland Moving to Wallingford Center

5 Comments

I stopped by Bootyland, the hip children’s clothing and toy boutique which moved from Capitol Hill into the former slot of Paron’s Closet in Wallingford Center. Jordan writes:

Hopefully, they’ll do better than Paron’s Closet (http://www.wallyhood.org/2013/07/parons-closet-closing-notes/) and Izilla Toys (http://www.wallyhood.org/2011/10/izilla-toys-closing/), the latter of which made a similar move from Capitol Hill to Wallingford Center, where it discovered the hard way that Wallingford Center’s organic foot traffic is fairly sparse.
