Wallingford, Seattle

This month's Wallingford Walks will feature visits to the studios of a sculptor, a writer and a glass artist to chat with them about their crafts. Meet at Tully's on 45th St and Meridian at 10 am, walk lasts two hours.

In response to a request from a reader, we've assembled a list of Wallingford businesses that are on Twitter and have used a Seattle-built service, TweepML.org to allow you to follow all of them with one click: >> Wallingford Business Twits << If we missed one, let us know.
