Now, they offer us the opportunity to lend a helping paw to our local furry friends. Dawn writes: Working behind the bar, I can tell that the news and politics, local and national, are adding more annoyance and stress than ever, this is one of the reasons why doctors recommended to use…

The Wallingford Family Parade is calling all volunteers.  Mike Ruby, long time contributor to the neighborhood and the blog, writes in: Be a part of one of Seattle’s oldest and most loved events, the Wallingford Family Parade! This year’s parade date is July 14, Bastille Day, so producers have proclaimed all of Wallingford “French for a Day!” We need HELP! It takes a village to make an event and we’re a mere skeleton crew. If you have a few unfettered hours…

(Alex Pedersen, publisher of 4toExplore, and a Wallyhood sponsor, recently ran a survey on local issues. Here are the results.) We heard your voice and the results are HERE. Nearly 400 subscribers from Wallingford to Wedgwood completed our 14-question survey about local issues May 8-10, 2018. We believe our city government should "conduct official surveys and release results to the public," as we urged in our Crosscut column entitled, "4 Ideas to Make City Hall Listen."  While our annual survey is…
