Metro at QFC

Last month, Margaret told us about proposed King County Metro route changes that would eliminate the #26 local and change other bus routes in Wallingford and beyond.  If you missed her earlier post, you can read it here.

Kate’s Pub Deal

Hot on the heels of the Mighty-O Donut deal, Kate's Pub (309 NE 4th St) is jumping on the deal site bandwagon with a $13 for $30 worth of pub fare and pours offer.

A Feel Good Bike Safety Story

As Wallyhood neighbor Jared writes, there is a German phrase, "Tu Gutes und rede darüber"  which means "Do good and talk about it."   Jared's son Kyle did good, and Wallyhood is going to talk about it. A few months ago, young Kyle was being dropped off at Interlake Childcare Center when he noticed his favorite teacher, Sherry Thomas, riding her bicycle near the school without a helmet.  And this was a problem Kyle could solve.  He decorated a bike helmet with a…
