The new location is 4606 Stone Way N. in the building just to the right of Zaw Pizza. Helen added that they hadn't quite set the new location's hours yet, but were thinking 10:30am - 6:30pm for now. Walk-in customers between December 15-18 will receive 10% off.

Whew! We worked hard through the summer and had minimal rain through the fall which really helped get the…

If you've been on Latona at NE 40th in the last week or so, chances are you've probably seen this house and wondered what in the heck was up with the spots. Well, we learned that Green Canopy is the company behind the playful polka-dots. The Fremont-based company buys dilapidated homes throughout Seattle and renovates them using sustainable materials and by making them energy-efficient. This 1924 house, which they've dubbed "Keaton" after Buster Keaton, will lose its spots by Friday so that the construction crew can put…

A big ol' Wallyhood-style congratulations go out to Patrick McCredie and Peter and Peter Ringold of SATAY Malaysian Street Food (1711 N. 45th Street). SATAY opened for business on December 10 of last year. They've had a pretty decent year, too, being on The Food Network and getting some decent local press from Seattle Met and The Stranger.
