Despite the early spring that crashed up from the south across the country this year, at least one vernal turn is delayed: the cherry blossoms. We're about 3 weeks later than usual, but on the verge of the burst.

Wallyhooder Kimberly writes: Greetings, Wallyhood! My daughter and another Wallyhood resident will be performing in an adaptation of Handel’s Serse at the Good Shepherd Center this weekend. The main character, Serse, reminds me very much of a certain orange-skinned president. It’s eerie how relevant an eighteenth-century piece can seem! There are some amazingly talented young people singing, playing period instruments, dancing and acting. We would love to present it to our neighbors! Event details: Saturday, March 25, 2017 at the Good Shepherd Center…

If you were wondering what all those sirens were about just after 10:00 tonight, so was I. Seattle's Real Time 911 told me that there was a massive, multi-unit response to a fire in a single family residence on Bagley between 41st and 42nd. I rushed to check it out to find no fire, no smoke, but indeed a massive multi-unit response. The scuttlebutt on the sidewalk was that the house was filled with smoke and 911 was called. Everyone appeared…
As reported last year on Wallyhood, Seattle Parks and Recreation will be renovating the play area on the east edge of Gas Works Park this year. As part of that work, Puget Sound Energy will be installing “pipes and monitoring wells” as part of the ongoing contamination cleanup effort. This work was determined by the state Dept. of Ecology to have no significant environmental effects, but public comment on this finding is being solicited until March 16. I suspect that very…
