Oliver Bazinet forwarded us this note, penned by Waterway 18: Dear Wallingford, I think it’s time for a formal introduction - my name is Waterway 18. Nice to meet you. I’m not a loud, high profile waterway so sometimes it’s hard to be noticed. In fact, I’m just a little parklet hanging out down along Lake Union between Dunato’s boat yard and the big empty lot next to the Gasworks Marina.

A guy walks through QFC parking lot with a pair of matching brown Boxer dogs, one has its hind legs in a wheeled contraption that rolls along, the other does not. Inside QFC I notice more of this summer's new fashion, floor-length slinky sundresses. The middle-aged woman in me approves, it's attractive but covers a lot. At the intersection of Wallingford and 45th a woman scampers across as the light is changing to red, while her male companion refuses to follow…
