Shima Sushi (4429 Wallingford Ave N) will wrap its last sushi roll in Wallingford this Friday, October 30th. The owners, the same folks who own Hawaiian Breeze (which is also out), say that they were unable to negotiate an affordable lease for the space, but plan to re-open elsewhere when they can find a spot. Customers who come through this week are being encouraged to sign up for their e-mail list to get the notice when they do. I hadn't been…

You may have noticed that the new apartment complex going up at 45th and Interlake has a name now, Smith & Burns. I puzzled about why they would call it that, and emailed my contacts at Mack Urban, but haven't heard back. Then, flicking through Flickr for a photo to use on another article, I came upon this, from the Washington State Archives: The plot thickens!

We've been obsessing over the candidates for a while, including interviewing candidates in our local races. Here are our recommendations. District 4: Maddux over Johnson: Michael prioritizes the issue of wealth inequality and is focused on reforming our regressive tax structure.

Kirkland's Bala Yoga is opening a new location in lower Wallingford, soft opening this Thursday, October 22nd. Mike Baiocchi, the Bala Yoga CEO (does "Yoga CEO" sound weird to you, too?) explained "we chose this location because we felt there was a need for a community like ours in the Fremont area. We have many students that have moved from the eastside to Seattle and now their favorite studio will be nearby. I also believe this area is less saturated and offers…
Every spring we do a round-up of Community Supported Agriculture providers that deliver to the Wallingford area. What with the Wallingford Farmers Market shuttering for the winter this past week, we thought it worth mentioning that some CSA's do keep going year round. Seattle Tilth's Fall CSA is an extension of their summer share, and still features a weekly box of "full of fresh, delicious, 100% local, ecologically grown produce," with one deliver per week throughout November. Four weeks of great storage and fall crops!…

The vote for who won the debate was 14 for Johnson, 8 for Maddux, and 13 said it was a tie. Here's what audience members wrote on their ballots as the most interesting takeaways: They're the same?!! Michael displayed his temper Liked Maddux's politics, liked Johnson's grasp of issues. Best part was talking with the candidate afterwards regarding tenant protections.…
