I loped past the space on the south west corner of the Wine World / Cosmopolitan Apartments building and almost missed the transformation underway. As far as I can remember, the space hasn’t been occupied since the Bavarian-themed Best Western went out of business 10+ years ago. Today, it was. In one corner, three desks with giant 3x” iMacs…

The lunchroom was all a-twitter at Lincoln High this week (Lincoln being the semi-permanent home of APP@Lincoln Elementary School). Rumor had it that someone at a nearby home had installed a slide in their front yard - a slide which slid straight into a fence. The slide was quickly dubbed the "sui-slide" and the kids eagerly discussed whether there was any safe way to go down it - perhaps dressed in one of those sumo wrestler costumes or if you propped…
While we may have earned third place as the most Trick or Treatable place in Seattle (according to Zillow), the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce tells us that they have every intention of taking back the #1 spot -- and they mean business! (< see what I did there?) This year, the Chamber has enlisted the support of 65 Wallingford merchants to hand out treats on Halloween, between 4pm - 7pm.** Look for an orange "trick or treats here" sign on participating…

Joule will be the first of the three occupants to open at Fremont Collective. Sport gear shop, evo, and Renee Erikson's new restaurant, The Whale Wins will also…
