Joule is set to open its doors for dinner tonight in its new location at The Fremont Collective on Stone Way at N. 35th St. (3506 Stone Way N.) You may remember when the restaurant ditched us left its former location on N. 45th Street back in April for bigger digs and outdoor seating. Joule will be the first of the three occupants to open at Fremont Collective. Sport gear shop, evo, and Renee Erikson's new restaurant, The Whale Wins will also…
Two calls for musicians and artists in the area, we thought we'd hit them both in one: Green Lake Pathway of Lights Returns Saturday, December 8 Musicians and volunteers wanted Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Green Lake Community Center Advisory Council continue a Seattle tradition with the 36th annual Pathway of Lights. This year's event will take place from 5 - 8 p.m. on Saturday, December 8, rain or shine. Admission is free. Join thousands of families, friends, and neighbors…
When we first started started writing Wallyhood, one of the great puzzles was how the different civic organizations fit together: the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce, the Wallingford Community Council and the Wallingford Neighborhood Association (operating the Wallingford Neighborhood Office) each had slightly different, but slightly overlapping missions and goals. We sat on a stool at Mosaic and got a tutorial on it from Mary Heim, but still felt a little blurry on why a little community needed all three. Well, things…

Sunday morning, we saw a post on Facebook from our friend Zoey, reporting that her van had been stolen, with a dog she had rescued from the pound inside, which we reposted the Wallyhood Facebook page. By Sunday afternoon, King 5 had picked up the story, and, it turns out,…
Now, now, don't get all freaked out, it's not going far. We spotted someone loading shelving into the storefront next to Petosa's Accordion shop, near Kate's Pub, where the martial arts supply store was, and thought we were getting something new, but turns out it's just a bit of intra-neighborhood shifting. Scott Tomlin of Comics Dungeon explains: We are planning on moving by the end of next week, earlier if we can pull it off. We are moving for a couple…
Wallyhood's architecture writer, Patricia, wanted to let everyone know that she's holding a big garage sale this weekend, "and there's lots of art, books, tsatskes for every Wallingford taste (as long as it's liberal…)" she adds. Here's more info: This year I've remodeled and moved to a different house in Wallingford (yes, of COURSE, in Wallingford), and am now trying to get my 'old' house ready to rent. So, this weekend I'm having a grand garage sale (it's really in the…
A bit beyond our borders, but if you should happen to be peddling over the Fremont Bridge, you may get a gander of the thing pictured at right. It's taking a gander of you, too: [Last week], the Cascade Bicycle Club and the Seattle Department of Transportation unveiled the new bicycle counter totem now installed at the north end of the Fremont Bridge. The totem, which is more than seven feet tall, has a digital display of the number of bicyclists…
