How many of you remember when Patty's Eggnest was open in the Seamonster Lounge spot on N. 45th St? According to Yelp, that was back in 2005. Eons ago. If you peruse some of the Yelp reviews, you'll see the popular breakfast spot was missed from the moment it left. Well, good news for Patty's fans: Reader Joan tells us that she spotted some action at the Chabela's space on Tuesday, and when she asked someone, they told her that Patty's Eggnest would…
Heather McNamee, Supervising Librarian at the Wallingford Branch of the Seattle Public Library (SPL), wrote to tell us about some new, free, family-oriented programs at the library.

Finding a restaurant you can bring kids is one thing. Finding one where you can sit and enjoy your meal, that's something else. Vios on Capitol Hill and more recently sharing space with Third Place Books in Ravenna created a model: good food paired with an open kids play area. Adults eat, kids play. Kids play, adults talk.

Yeah, we know it's summer, at least, according to the calendar; but it's never too late to admire the spring blooms in our neighborhood. Wallingford resident, Emily, captured some of Wallingford's prettiest springtime flowers, and she sent us this note with a link to her photos: I have been doing a photo project this spring that I've been calling "Spring Time in Seattle".
