Remember “You Draw It” from the Sunday funnies? Well, now you can have that kind of fun again with Move Levy plans! Below are 2 pictures of the intersection of 50th, Stone Way, and Green Lake Way- one showing the way it works today, then a second with Cycle Tracks ready for you to design. You get to design 5 turning movements working in concert for cars and bikes:

Below is the You Draw It version with cycle track entry points added. You can change any of the roadways, but they must connect to existing roadway lines at the limits …

Any Hope for the Bittman House at 4625 Eastern Ave N?

Eric April 23, 2015 75 Comments

Cass Turnbull hopes you can help her save a beloved house:

I hope someone who is reading this is the person, or maybe knows the person, who can save the house and garden at 4625 Eastern Ave North. It’s important. It’s keeping me up at night thinking that a developer is going to raze the garden, chop down her Heritage Trees and bulldoze that wonderful house–the likes of which will never be made again in Seattle—in order to build two or three MacMansions of the sort which are, unfortunately, commonplace. Marilyn’s Wallingford house is a sort of legend among neighbors. …

Pot Arrives in Wallingford: Hashtag is Open for Business

Jordan April 22, 2015 46 Comments

Wallingford’s first recreational marijuana store, Hashtag, formally opened its doors for business on Monday at 3540 Stone Way.

Unlike many of its brethren throughout the city, the door isn’t manned by a burly door guard checking IDs, providing an immediately more open atmosphere. So too does the airy space, flooded with lots of natural light.

Selections include several strains and growers along with edibles and equipment. Prices per gram appear to start around $15, from what I could see.

The establishment joins a number of medical marijuana locations already in the neighborhood. If you plan to visit, remember that all …

Move Levy: No Moving From Wallingford to the U-District

Eric April 21, 2015 20 Comments

The U-District light rail station at 43rd and Brooklyn will be finished in 2021. In the next 9 years, 45th through Wallingford will be redeveloped with 40 and 65 foot condos with bike-only parking, and the U-District is already springing up with bike-centered towers as part of the light rail rezone.

Despite this, the Move Levy makes no effort at all to help people biking or walking between Wallingford and the U-District. The plan gets locked in 1 month, then commits us to that decision for the next 9 years. Want to bike to the new light rail station just …

Move Levy: Cycle Tracks on Green Lake Way and 50th

Eric April 20, 2015 20 Comments

The Move Levy locks in all bike and pedestrian spending for the next 9 years after a 2 month public comment period that is already half over. For a place like Northgate that has been in planning for years that’s great as SDOT will throw 10’s of millions their way to implement their gold plated plans, but for a neighborhood like Wallingford without a transportation plan it means we only get a few cheap, half baked ideas. When plans were released 1 month ago they included a map that wasn’t even correct, so it has taken me a lot of…
