Just some quick reminders about all that Wallyhood offers: If you're on Twitter, we invite you to follow us at @Wallyhood. We tweet news from the around the neighborhood (often retweeted from the Wally's we follow) plus tweet reminders from the Wallingford Events Calendar we maintain. We maintain a calendar of goings on all around Wallingford. If you have an event that you'd like to see added, use the form on that page or send us an e-mail. We maintain some…
Our friends Monica and Jason mentioned to us that they're looking to rent a 3bd house in Wallingford. We'd love to have them in the neighborhood. We also noticed that there's been some talk in the Wallyhood Forums from people asking about housing and apartments in Wallingford (seeking and selling). All that housing talk jogged our memory, reminding us that Amy Singer, the building manager at Wallingford Center, was kind enough to give us a guided tour of the apartments that…
While it's great to hear that a whole host of kids previously on the waiting list for the John Stanford school next year now have slots, Rebecca notes that it does create a bit of anomaly in the neighborhood. Many kids from the previous year will see their older and younger peers head off to the neighborhood school each morning, but, because they entered kindergarten at the most competitive time, they'll bussed off elsewhere: The neighborhood will now experience a very…
Lettuce Link, the group that connects Seattleites with extra fruit on their trees with volunteers who harvest them and deliver them to food banks, is having an orientation meeting for volunteers on Tuesday, June 30th from 6:30 - 7:30 pm at Solid Ground (1501 N. 45th St. Check their web site for additional orientation times in Phinney / Greenwood, Ballard, Capitol Hill and more). Some more info via Barb Burrill: In 2008, 14,000 pounds of pesticide-free plums, pears and apples were…
Reminder, Sunday's Wallingford Walk will take ambulators through four Wallingford urban farms, sporting chickens, goats and, compliments of yours truly, bees. We'll be opening up the hive to take a look inside, plus sampling some different honeys at our place. The walk starts at 1 pm at Tully's and continues through the neighborhood from there. See you tomorrow.
Ever since we heard that Fainting Goat Gelato (1903 45th St) was planning to buy local, Washington goat's milk to make goat milk gelato (in addition to the organic cow's milk gelato they sell now), we've been in there at least twice a week to pester the Yalcin family: "Do you have goat's milk yet?", "How about now?", "Yet?" While we were interested in goat milk gelato because of its kindness to the lactose intolerant, we were also just curious about…
We love you. No, really, we do. Why? Simple stuff. For example, take a look at the comments section the recent Noise vs Neighbors post. A potentially flame war in the making as the peace-and-quiet clan squared off against the vibrant-nightlife crew. But did Wallyhood readers wade into fiery tussle of name-calling and chest pounding? Nope, just a bunch of folks offering their opinion about where the balance should be and, it seemed, listening to each other and offering suggestions. And…
