Don’t you love it when life gives you second chances? Seattle Tilth held an Early Season Edible Plant Sale last weekend at Magnuson Park. After all the standard weekend errands, I looked at my watch around 2:30 and thought, “YIKES! I’d better get over to the Tilth sale before all my favorite early spring veggies are gone . . .” Before I threw the little red wagon into the car, I hopped on the web to check the location. Wouldn't you…
Wallingford has had an uneasy relationship with the motels along Aurora (see Motel Crackdown, More Trouble at the Italia Motel, Wallingford Inn Madness, Wrong Police Raid, for example). Rachelle and her crew have decided enough is enough. However, rather than flipping them the bird, they're going to flip them a burger. She writes: I am part of a community outreach group at a church off of 50th and Dayton (not quite Wallingford - but close!) and we are organizing a neighborhood…
Amazon.com Widgets Kara C., president of the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce and purveyor of the odd at Not a Number, writes: Not A Number Cards & Gifts will be a local participant in this weekend's MoveOn.org national screening: Michael Moore's documentary about the financial crisis, "Capitalism: A Love Story". It's this Sun. March 28, 6 pm at Not A Number, 1905 N 45th between the Guild 45th and Wallingford Center. Well-behaved dogs welcome! The movie is more relevant than ever after…
Christina, our neighbor over here near 40th Ave NE and Latona, writes: Had a little chat this morning with construction workers on 40th greenbelt--stair rehab project. They've excavated the old stairs and we'll soon have a new poured concrete staircase with new handrail. Stairs will be 6ft 10inches wide (the standard stair width of Seattle, or of something)--that's double-wide what the old one was. So, even though it seems like no one in the city or rest of Wallingford proper cares much about us…
Here’s a summary of the Hamilton work completed through mid-March. This week, I’ve noticed a crew working on the outside front steps, and it appears the new steps in the back are complete. Sorry, no aerial photo this month—something about a toddler chasing after the dirigible on the playfield last week… As of February, 2010, the electrical power was turned on in all the buildings and the contractor completed the rolled metal roofing at the new gymnasium and new gym lobby.…

Let's take the freebie tour of Wallingford, shall we? We'll start with a free pastry at Starbucks (before 10:30 am, print the coupon or show the barista a copy on your mobile phone). Timed, perhaps, to coincide with the Starbuck's annual shareholder's meeting Wednesday? A fine breakfast, but now it's time for some lunch. How about Ivar's? Perfect, because they're celebrating the 105th birthday of their "flounder", Ivar Haglund. Buy one entree, say "Happy Birthday, Ivar" and you'll get a second…
