We're all about the green in Wallyhood, so we can't find much to complain about in hearing that Terri Glaberson is seeking to form a CoolMoms group in Wallingford. CoolMoms is a group of mothers seeking to raise their awareness on climate change issues.

SeattleTravel.com sent us a link to a list of Happy Hours around Wallingford Fremont, truly an important resource. We're adding a link to it to our Wallingford Resources page. If you know of a happy hour that isn't listed, let us know in the comments and we'll pass it along.

Note: As is typical in the Slog, the comments section contains strong language and needless vitriol.
