First Wednesday of the month is tomorrow, which means Art Walk time. Honestly, we were a bit surprised that the new co-chairs, Tara Shuttleworth and Katie McCallister, decided to make a go of it through the winter (in previous years, it's been summer-only). There were busy nights this past year, but also some pretty quiet ones. Add in the certainty of rain during the winter, and getting the crowds out will be a challenge. Re-Leaf Massage, Seattle Bank, Tangerine, Harold's Lamps…

Yesterday we said that today's Wallingford Art Walk would be the last of the season. It will not. Unlike the last few years, when Art Walk took a winter break, they're going to try to run it throughout the winter this year. Tara will be taking over in December. It's not 100% clear to us who chairing it next month (Colleen and Alex, the existing chairs, are stepping down after today's Art Walk and Tara isn't taking over until December), but…

Last week tolled the bell for the final Wallingford Farmers Market of 2010, and this week we ring out a year of Wallingford Art Walk. Tomorrow, Wednesday October 6th from 6 - 9 pm marks your last opportunity to stroll the avenues and alleys of Wallingford as if it were Paris in the Spring, popping into galleries to admire the works of artists while sipping on a glass* of wine and chatting with your neighbors. Where should you stroll? Here's what…

Homebound? Can't make it up to the shops on 45th Street but want to window shop? Never fear, the Internetz are here! Our friend Rusty has been working on a project, Real Places, for some years now that allows people to take Google Street View-like tours of the inside of buildings and such, and he's featured Wallingford's 45th Street early in its development. Click that link and take a stroll through Sock Monster, Fainting Goat, Not a Number and more. As…

Don't be thrown! Wallingfor Art Walk is the first Wednesday of the month, and even though it seems strange that Labor Day is still six days off, tomorrow is the first Wednesday of the month. So what all is going down this month? Seattle Bank (1227 N. Allen Place, across from Tutta Bella) will be showing Tracy Wallschlaeger's oil paintings: "She was the recipient of both The Morris Merit Scholarship and The Little Art Gallery Scholarship for her artistic and academic…

It sounds like a children's story doesn't it? Maybe someday it will be, the touching story of two designs, painted on intersections in a little neighborhood called Wallingford. The Ladybug up at 49th and Burke is getting some company this weekend: a group of neighbors led by Bill Lindberg around Interlake Ave N and N 41st St will be painting a turtle designed by Rachel Marcotte in their intersection. The mural is funded in part by the city’s Department of Neighborhoods…
