We were away for the weekend, just catching up on the tips we missed. This one came in Friday from Laura: What was up with the naked man walking through our neighborhood today about 10:45am?? Young,(maybe mid-20s), white, athletic build. I jogged passed him as he was walking northbound on Keystone/51st, saw a pair of socks and later a shirt on the sidewalk on Sunnyside (between 45th and 42nd) and a pair of jeans on 42nd/1st. I heard Green Lake Mom's…

Last spring, we held our first Wallyhood Food Swap. With a bit of prodding from Aaron over at Wallingfarm, we're making it an annual affair and moving it closer to the harvest, Saturday October 27th. Here's how it works: Do you cook, bake, can, jar, grow, distill, brew, shepherd or summon? Do you, perhaps, cook, bake, can, etc. too much? Interested in swapping some of what you got for some of what someone else has baked, canned, jarred, grown, etc? Participants bring…
Wallyhood welcomes our newest sponsor, Robert W. Hass Salon, located at 3700 Wallingford Avenue North, in lower Wallingford. Robert opened his cozy, neighborhood salon in 2002 and works side-by-side with stylists Amy and Lindsey. So what sets the salon apart from all the others in the neighborhood?

The Gypsy Cafe on Stone Way is so....Wallingford. It's chill, eclectic, comfy, and full of comforting coffee smells and good music. But it's going away as of next week, and that makes us Wallyhoodians very sad indeed. A quick conversation with Rachel, the lovely barista on the clock this foggy Friday morning, told us that local snowboard and ski and all-around cool company Evo bought the building and is planning a remodel. No concrete information yet on what will be housed…
We got this piece of sad news from the City of Seattle earlier this week: The statue Sadako and the Thousand Cranes sculpture at Peace Park has been vandalized in an act similar to the incident in December of 2003 when its arm was sawed off and thrown into the Lake Washington Ship Canal and its leg damaged. Today a Seattle Times photographer noticed her arm had been torn off and contacted Parks and Recreation. Seattle Parks and the Seattle Office of Arts &…
Jeff Garfield over at Bedrooms and More gave us the heads up that there's a new salon opening in Wallingford, Cutlour Salon and Boutique (250 NE 45th St). We asked Beth, the manager to tell us a bit about it: I'm the manager and lead stylist the owners are a pair of sisters Bianca and Ann (Ann is also a stylist). We had worked together before and had always wanted to open a place in Wallingford where the bulk of our support…
