So, if you wanna get a jump on planning for the 2026 Wallingford parade...  It’s Saturday, July 11, 2026. This year’s theme is “Grow Big Dreams.” The 2026 parade will be the 74th time people have marched down 45th. LONG MAY IT RUN! Register HERE!​ ​The Wallingford Parade has over a seven-decade history. ​It began as a Kiddie Parade (the only kiddie parade in the city, by the way), and throughout the years has had several different faces.

When I passed by on the BGT on my bike at 10:30 am, there were about half…

The greater Wallingford area has added several breweries and taprooms in the past few years. For example, there’s Gasworks Brewing down on Lake Union, the Figurehead taproom over on Stone Way, and Jellyfish on Green Lake. What am I missing? Predating all of those, barely, is Ladd & Lass Brewing, located at 722 NE 45th Street just across I-5 in the U District. On Saturday and Sunday, January 10 and 11, L&L will be celebrating their fourth anniversary, and we’re all…

The following was received by Wallyhood from Lee Swedin on behalf of Sound and Fury Morris.
