Interested in getting your hands on some of Wallingford's finest honey, produced in Wallyhood's own backyard apiary? Maybe you just like beer and chocolate? Read on!

It's officially fall in Seattle, and I need some official entertainment.  It's cold, I'm grumpy and I defy the person who tries to make me giggle under such conditions.  So why, you may ask, do I put on my crankypants and thither to the theater?

A few months ago, young Kyle was being dropped off at Interlake Childcare Center when he noticed his favorite teacher, Sherry Thomas, riding her bicycle near the school without a helmet.  And this was a problem Kyle could solve.  He decorated a bike helmet with a…

Satay Happenings

We recently spoke with Patrick McCredie of Satay (1711 N. 45th St.) who filled us in on some neat stuff going on in the restaurant, above and beyond the awesome peanut sauce they serve. If you've been to, or walked past Satay fairly recently, you probably noticed a cool mural-in-progress on the storefront. The muralist is Tom Blayney, so if you see him, stop by to take a look-see. Very cool. Did you know Satay does trivia every Thursday? Yup, and they'll…
