We've been getting multiple reports that planned changes to the Route 16 bus are undesirable. Both the WCSC and University House are working on petitions that oppose the changes. Mike Ruby covered this previously for us, but he's out of town and Richard did a great job of writing up the changes that are coming. Richard Writes: I am concerned that Metro is proposing the deletion of large portions of the present #16 bus service as part of their 2016 system…

Sutra has served its last vegan prix fixe experience, vacating their building in advance of the development project that's slated for that corner of 45th and Interlake. As Eric mentioned a few weeks ago, two of the owners have started Harvest Beat at the Wallingford Farmers Market, but we got word from Amber and Colin, the other two, on their next move: We’ve landed in Leavenworth, WA.  Our first few days in our new home town were the most beautiful, soft, and…

If you are in Wallingford you are probably aware of the gruesome accident where a Ducks vehicle slammed into a charter bus on the Aurora Bridge, killing 4 and wounding many more at lunch time today. Initial reports are of a vehicle malfunction, although the scene will remain under investigation for some time. This “accident” is not really an accident, as an accident implies something unavoidable. Accidents just happen, but this sort of incident is the inevitable outcome of loop holes…

While the HALA proposal to rezone single family in urban villages was withdrawn, many other HALA proposals are on track. At 9:30 AM today the Seattle City Council is discussing the HALA proposal for multi family tax break incentives. At the Wallingford Community Council HALA is pretty much regarded as the end of the world, but the political establishment is united behind it. Murray and O'Brien are the chief architects, with both District 4 candidates acting as strong backers. Rob Johnson tweeted:…

People were great at reporting the locations of redwoods in Wallingford- I mapped them out here: Then I went on a bike tour with my kids. The first stop was at Woodland Park and Motor Place. The redwood was little, but the art fence there is worth the trip: Next up we saw a number of redwoods in people's back yards south of 45th. They were all pretty hard to get to though, Without being able to pose kids or stuff…
