Senator Murray Goes To Wallingford

Did you know there are not one, but two Senator Murray's? There's Senator Patty Murray, who represents Washington State in the United States Senate, and Senator Edward B. Murray, who represents the 43rd Legislative District in Olympia. That's us, people! Check out the 43rd Legislative District Map if you doubt it. So guess who's coming to the Hamilton International Middle School Auditorium (at Lincoln) Sunday, March 29th at 2 pm for a Town Hall Discussion? NOT Senator Patty Murray! Right, the…

Prowlin’

The Wallingford ENews came out last week, and with it the (unofficial) Wallingford Residential Burglary Report for February, compiled by Dianne Horswill. It notes that total reported car prowls are down to 20 for February, an improvement over previous months (unless, as she notes, you are one of the 20). Snippets from the blotter, below, include the discovery of a now defunct Wallingford pot farm. Now, with that gone, where are people going to get the Wallingford Waui? 02/06 3900blk Latona…

Pancakes, anyone?

Just curious, did any readers attend the Community Pancake Breakfast at the Wallingford Community Senior Center this morning? We dined at home (french toast from Essential Baking's Rosemary Diamante, real maple syrup, Gimme Lean faux sausage on the side, and a splash of Bailey's in our coffee, if you must know), but we've always been curious what it's like.

Go, Yoga, Go

In response to the recent You Go Yoga post, several readers pointed out that the Seattle Holistic Center offers yoga through Wallingford's Good Shepherd Center. This really shouldn't have come as a surprise to us, as Mrs. Wallyhood attended their prenatal yoga classes while incubating Baby Z. Says she: The studio is bright and cheerful, a perfect yoga space, and Collette was really good at listening to each student and tailoring the practice for what we needed. It was also really…
