A Take on Visions of Wallingford Film Screening and Conversation

Julie Martin March 19, 2023 1 Comment

I was delighted to attend the Visions of Wallingford Film Screening this past week. Though, it went way beyond just a documentary viewing. It was a curated evening of community and conversation that surprised, challenged and invigorated me.

The event was held at the Good Shepherd Center theatre on the 4th floor and the evening sun streamed through the vintage stained glass. After receiving our packets for the night, there was time at the beginning to wander among the tables at the sides of the room where community organizations shared information. It was wonderful to meet contributors to this blog …

Wallingford Library Branch – New Hours and Tax Help

Julie Martin March 9, 2023 1 Comment

Here are some updates from The Wallingford Branch & The Seattle Public Library:

 

What’s happening at the Wallingford Branch?

 

With more morning and evening hours across all libraries, the new Wallingford Branch schedule adds 16 open hours per week. The new Wallingford Branch schedule is temporary through early 2024 due to a temporary staffing reallocation related to the yearlong seismic retrofit construction closure of the Green Lake Branch.  Wallingford Branch hours are likely to adjust again when the Green Lake Branch reopens in 2024.  To increase access to materials in this region, the Library has installed a 24/7 holds…

Seattle Meowtropolitan temporarily closed

Julie Martin February 17, 2023 Leave a Comment

Wallingford’s unique and wonderful Seattle Meowtropolitan Cat Cafe has closed temporarily due to a health issue in the cat population. All cats have been returned to the partner shelter.

I swung by today and in addition to the sign, I was able to speak with the owner, Andrew and manager, John. They didn’t have many more details to share. Just that all the cats are doing fine and they look forward to reopening. They promised when they have more information, they would send it our way.

The kitties would love your support, though! Consider picking up a gift card, some …
