We can't believe this. We told you about the Bizarre Bazaar. We told you about Art Walk. We told you about not one, but two artist sales. And still, you say to us "I don't know what to give for the holidays"? OK, we will help, but this is the last time! OmCulture (2210 N. Pacific) is holding a Clothing and Gift Exchange this Sunday, Dec 5th 11 am - 5 pm: Beat the blues this winter with a fun gift…
Wallyhood reader David snapped this picture for us yesterday, showing the new brown paper covering the windows of the space formerly occupied by Meridian Market (2201 N 56th St). "I'm hoping this means something new is in the works," David wrote. Indeed, it does! Looks like the space will soon have a new tenant. EveryBlock Seattle shows a new liquor license application for a grocery store, called the 56th Street Market, to sell beer and wine. Thanks for the tip, David!
There's no rain in the forecast (yet) for this weekend and temperatures should hover around 40 degrees----perfect weather to throw on a coat and hat, and take a stroll to the many events happening around the neighborhood. Friday, December 3 Santa photos at Mud Puddle Club Photography in Wallingford Center, 4 PM to 8 PM. Bring the kids and the pets in to meet Santa Claus, and let him know what's on your wish list this year and that you have indeed…
Did you see the searchlights in the sky last night? That was Wine World's (not-so-secret) secret grand opening party. But tonight, they're hosting their official grand opening celebration, from 6-9 PM, and everyone's invited. The grand opening will provide folks with an opportunity to explore Wine World's 23,000 square foot space, equipped with two 30 foot tasting bars and a 4,000 square foot room for special events. Live music will be provided by local jazz ensemble Ambience, and while valet parking…
What, the Bizarre Bazaar at OmCulture this Saturday isn't enough for you? You're afraid that you may still have to go to Best Buy and Wal*Mart to fill out your holiday shopping list? OK, folks, relax, here's two, count them, two more opportunities to fill those stockings with art handcrafted by your neighbors: First, Paul Lewing, Gay Jensen, and Laurie Mortinson Lefebvres will be showing and selling their work from Paul's home at 4315 Burke Avenue N this Friday, Dec, 3…
Yesterday at about 7:45 a.m., a 6th grade student from Hamilton was struck by a car while she was in the crosswalk at 43rd and Wallingford Avenue North. A Hamilton parent wrote in our Forums that the student sustained hip and thigh injuries, but that the school informed the students yesterday that she will be o.k., which we're very glad to hear. Stay safe, folks! It's dark and dreary this time of year.
As you summon your holiday shopping derring-do, prepared to face the battle of the crowds, you might want to consider making a stop at J.C. Penney up in Northgate. Way out of the neighborhood, I know--but here's why: Any purchases you make at the store between now and December 14, J.C. Penney will round up to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to the Wallingford Boys and Girls Club. The spare change adds up, too, as WBGC board member Jacqui…
