Wallingford, Seattle

Planning a trip to the Woodland Park Zoo soon? The Seattlest has the story on the Battle of Adorableness. Our money's on the tribble.

If you never caught local starlet and "international cabaret chanteuse" Julie Cascioppo's 1990's weekly gig at the Pink Door ("a series of 'mini one-woman operas,' performed in the guises of some 20 different deadpan comic characters") or any of her one woman shows, you've got an opportunity to right a wrong this Saturday, June 27th 7:30 pm at the Good Shepherd Center. She'll be performing her show "I Love Being Abroad: Hello Bali!" ("a 75-minute musical trip [through] Paris, Istanbul, India…

This week's 4pm cooking demonstration at this Wednesday's Wallingford Farmer's Market (3 - 7 pm at Wallingford Center) will be by chef Amy McCray of Eva's Restaurant and Wine Bar (2227 N 56th). Here's the "What's Fresh" report from the organizers (culled for Wallingford): Raspberries are in!  Find them now at Alm Hill Gardens.... Strawberry season remains in full swing, as we progress from one variety to another.  Look for them at Jessie’s Berries, Hayton, Tiny’s and Collins at all markets,…

Open water swimming is a unique activity in which swimmers can truly enjoy their surroundings, stretch out their strokes, and get into a rhythm over a…

We previously reported that Wallingford is expecting huge crowds this Fourth of July due to the cancellation of the only other in city fireworks display at Elliot Bay. Wallingford leaders were trying to rally local businesses to sponsor port-a-potties to help relieve the crowds as they streamed through our little 'hood. Since then, Kara, president of the Wallingford Chamber, told us the quest for port-a-potty sponsors is close to complete. Unfortunately, after weeks of pestering her, we've been unable to get…

Flashing blue and red lights in our dark hallway are never a good sign. Peered out the front window to see a handful of police cars out on the Ship Canal Bridge. We twittered, asking if anyone knew what was up. @dacort responded: There was a "Rescue Rope" earlier tonight (http://bit.ly/O0jUg), which usually means somebody was threatening to jump. :-\ The web site he links to is a live feed of 911 activity that includes this line: 6/22/2009 8:46:42 PM F090057597…
