Best patio in Seattle has a new contender — and it’s right here in Wallingford. Some months ago, I noticed Bowriders Grill pop up on Google maps right on the water, directly next to Westward. Eager for outdoor dining that might be easier to obtain without a reservation, my husband and I went on a scouting mission (aka mid-day beer break). We were delighted with what we found. The views and the vibes at Bowriders were out of this world. Sitting…
Wallingford Community Senior Center, located in the Good Shepherd Center, is starting a new program, open to the greater community.

Hosted by deborah barnes, former owner of Zootsuit Custom Apparel and creator of the FashionRIP Project that made recycouture garments for ecosystem themed installations at the Kerf…
The final lineup is here! Hope to see you in the 'hood this coming Saturday...

That’s right, June 19th…
Summer Solstice Summer Solstice 2022 in the Northern Hemisphere is Tuesday, June 21st. In Seattle, we will enjoy daylight from 5:11 A.M. to 09:10 PM. Notice I said “daylight” and not “sunshine” (deep sigh). The Farmer’s Almanac did not get it right for our June this year since they predicted warm and sunny weather with 1” of precipitation.

After a two year respite, one of Seattle's most colorful traditions returns in all its whimsy. The Fremont Solstice Parade is back -- but without a Wallingford finish in Gas Works Park this year.
