A New Statue of Sadako Coming to the Peace Park

There’s been a gaping hole in the area bordering Wallingford to the east, along the Ship Canal, and in many hearts around the neighborhood and beyond. Two years ago, someone stole the small bronze statue of Sadako that stood in the Seattle Peace Park. It was a wonderfully calming sight to see, as you momentarily were transported away from the frenzied chaos of trying to pull onto the University Bridge. Usually, Sadako was decorated with brightly-colored strings of origami cranes. The…

Easter at Artist & Craftsman Supply

On the border of the Wallingford-University District neutral zone, on the east side of I-5, there is a venerable old retail artist supply store called Artist & Craftsman Supply (4350 8th Avenue NE). It has outlasted everything else that has been housed in the small and now forlorn retail complex across from the Blue Moon Tavern, including the old Mac Store and the giant and now-defunct Petco. Artist & Craftsman Supply remains the go-to location for just about everything related to…

It’s a Girl…Troll! Wallingford to Welcome Fremont Troll’s Little Sister

Big news from just across the Ship Canal: the Fremont Troll is getting a sibling. In an announcement that took many by surprise, the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture revealed preliminary plans for a new sister Troll sculpture, this one to be installed not in Fremont, but right here in Wallingford, essentially making us the Troll’s official next‑door family. According to the City, the project is part of a broader effort to “expand the regional troll narrative,” ensuring that Fremont’s…
