John Stanford and McDonald to Become “Option Schools”?

[Disclaimer: As the father of a child who will be entering kindergarten in the Fall of 2014, this issue has very real and large impacts on me and my family. I've never pretended that the Wallyhood blog is a traditional, objective journalistic endeavor. Quite the opposite: I consciously strove to create a site where stories could be told from the perspective of those who lived them. I believe that community springs from connections between people, not a dispassionate review of facts.…

Sponsored Post: Now Is The Time To Sell

[Disclaimer: The following is a sponsored post, written by realtors Kris Murphy and Daniela Dombrowski.] We're sure you've heard about the hot market, low inventory, and multiple offers in the real estate market, but what does that actually mean?

Wallingford Farmers Market Opens Wednesday

The 2013 Wallingford Farmers Market season kicks-off this Wednesday (May 29) at Meridian Park, from 3:30PM to 7:00PM. (with chef hours from 3-3:30PM). Seems to me, despite some initial skepticism, that the Meridian Park location has been a good fit for the market, as the park provides more space for more vendors, and serves as a destination for shoppers, picnickers, and families alike. In fact, the new location was one of the reasons why  Washington State Farmers Market Association named Wallingford the…
