Woodland Park Players Presents Young Frankenstein

The Woodland Park Players will be presenting Young Frankenstein from March 20–28, 2026, with proceeds benefiting the arts in Seattle Public Schools. We received this notice from the WPP: It’s Alive! From the creators of Broadway’s record-breaking musical comedy sensation, The Producers, comes YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, a monster of a hit musical based on Mel Brooks’ classic comedy film masterpiece. This wickedly inspired re-imagining of the legend of Frankenstein is the story of the bright young doctor Frankenstein (that's Fronkensteen) who travels…

Retiring in Wallingford: What Boomers Can Learn from Zoomers

I’ve started my 2026 budget with more enthusiasm than I expected—nudging numbers up and down and feeling oddly proud of myself for not using the giant green columnar paper I have relied on in the past. These days, I use an Excel sheet a colleague helped me design back in 2010. It’s not fancy, but it works.

Perhaps you’ve experienced some issues like these: You’re trying to park in a difficult spot, or creeping through a narrow street or alleyway, when you give someone’s car a slight ding.

Building Plan for Vacant Bartell’s Wallingford Site

The property at 1820 N 45th Street is a highly visible, prominent location within the Wallingford neighborhood. The building was constructed in 1922, and for decades it housed a drugstore. It was Bartell Drug, then for several years, Serve-U Drug, then back to Bartell’s. Rite Aid purchased Bartell Drug in 2020, which was unfortunately followed by the death spiral to bankruptcy filings and abandonment by Rite Aid in 2024. Bartell Drug had sold the building to Gillen Hall Lake East LLC…

How One Neighbor Sparked a Wave of Community in Wallingford Every once in a while, something happens that reminds us how much people want to connect and how quickly a neighborhood can come alive when someone takes the first step.

Stone Way Rising: The CornerStone era

The following story comes to us from Aly at Fremont Neighbor. Welcome back to Stone Way Rising. Last time we covered the evo corner and the Fremont Collective at the south end of the 3500 block. Now we’re heading north and a bit east into Wallingford, where the block’s newest chapter is still being written. From fuel to flagship Before any of this was outdoor retail, the north end of the 3500 block had a more utilitarian story. According to Fremont…
