Assisteens Garage Sale Saturday, March 7th, Hosted by Assistance League of Seattle

I began volunteering this past fall at the Assistance League of Seattle Thrift Store, a place I already knew well. Since moving to Wallingford three years ago, to begin my “urban retirement adventure” near my daughter, the store had become one of my favorite neighborhood stops. I still remember the first time I walked through the front door and felt instantly hooked. Instead of the dim church-basement thrift stores I was used to on the East Coast, I found a bright,…

Celebrate the Grand Reopening of FamilyWorks Food Bank on April 4th

I love grand reopenings of any kind—they celebrate something new while honoring what has come before. When I moved to Wallingford three years ago, I volunteered for a year at the FamilyWorks Wallingford Food Bank and saw firsthand how the staff worked in a very tight space to provide food to the community, both in person and through delivery. I also volunteered with their diaper program, which is deeply needed and always appreciated by families. During my time there, I met…

Stone Way Rising: The evo corner

The following story comes to us from Aly at Fremont Neighbor. Photo by Alyson Teeter Welcome back! The previous installments felt too hefty so we’re going to cut this one to a half block of Stone Way. If the west side of the 3500 block felt like a greatest-hits mix of fish and chips, beer, and chocolate, the east side is where Stone Way’s modern era really shows itself. The buildings here are newer but the block’s story starts with old…

Kate’s Pub is back to life as The Rebel

Three months after the iconic Kate’s Pub shut its doors on October 31, the neighborhood staple is back to life. Donning a new look and fresh menu, The Rebel is keeping the legacy alive on 45th Street.  In January, neighbors may have noticed a new coat of bright teal paint go up over the formerly yellow storefront at 309 NE 45th Street. Soon after, Kate’s owner Kate Barrett announced in a Facebook post that Stephanie Kosmas (a former Kate’s bartender) would…

Local Artist Melinda Hannah and Aditi Yoga|Wellness Studio Sponsor a Celebration at the Wallingford Center

February is a short month, so I believe we can justify stretching the season of love and appreciation beyond the 14th of February and share a Valentine message. Wallingford is fortunate to have a talented artist, Melinda Hannah, who loves to memorialize the heritage homes found in our neighborhood and across the city. “It’s all about the legacy of this great community,” she says. You may have met Melinda at the Wallingford Farmer’s Market (Wallyhood did a feature on her artwork…
