Congratulations to Mighty-O Donuts, voted Best Doughnut in Seattle by the Stranger's Reader's poll. Top Pot also makes a fine donut in our opinion, but we're glad to see the much over-rated, airy and cloying Krispy Kreme takes its spot down the runners-up list. Also great to see an organic, animal-product free doughnut like Mighty-O take the nod. Our only sore spot is the total absence of free samples being delivered to certain members of the hyperlocal press.
There's lots of additional information on what happened and why in the comments section of the yesterday's Medical Marijuana Bust post. We recommend going back and reading up. Yet another reason to visit the site.
So there we were, lounging in our hot tub (and please no gibes, leave us our indulgences), enjoying the stars' twinkle on this particularly crisp and clear night, when we heard a rustle. Looking down, we see a pair of masked eyes peering curiously at us over the rim of the tub. This is all by way of explanation of that scream that you no doubt heard down by Gasworks, up by Greenlake, over by Aurora and across I-5. It was,…
This just in through our Tips line: Looks like there is a medical marijuana bust on Wallingford Ave between 37th and 38th. Police around all day. There are news cameras and a small crowd there now waiting for the cops to move the plants. This is mostly according to well-informed rumors from people in the small crowd. But I have personally seen the cops there all day. Anyone know anything else?
We know alot of you (about 400, if our numbers are accurate), read Wallyhood either through an RSS reader or it gets e-mailed to you. That's awesome, definitely the most convenient way to go, but we did want to take a moment to let you know that you're missing out. Here are several good reasons to visit the web site itself: Comments: It may seem like we're the only one talking here, but the truth is that on many posts, there…
This Thursday's Wallingford Community Council annual membership meeting is going to be a doozy, well worth attending even if you've never been before. President Mary Heim explains: Various community organizations and ongoing projects will have table top presentations around the perimeter of the room so that people can mill about before and after the meeting to find out what's happening in the hood and maybe the groups can recruit volunteers for work moving forward. There will be a short WCC business…
We've heard that the John Stanford International School applicants have gotten their letters, and it's an ever shrinking needle eye to fit through. The award-winning JSIS (4057 5th Ave. NE), for those who don't know (and we can only imagine that set of people are entirely without children), is the K - 5 elementary school sitting next to I-5 as you cross the ship canal bridge. It's also one of top-rated schools in the city (and the state), partially because it's…
