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

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…

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…

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 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…

A few years ago I was devastated to learn that The Gypsy Cafe at N 35th St and Stone Way N was closing. My family and I were fond of listening to folk music there and attending the square dance every now and again. The place was a little worn around the edges, but it was still good. Then it became The Tiny Ninja Cafe, and I went once to an afternoon concert. It had been remodeled a bit -- mostly…
