Wallingford, Seattle

Monday's plea to relocate Lunchbox Laboratory to Wallingford generated quite a bit of discussion (but, alas, no offer from Ballard to help LL move into that perfect spot the Loki Cafe has vacated). Hidden among the comments was Jason's revelation that SeaMonster is now serving Cuban sandwiches. Inspired, Doug consulted The Google and found the chef's blog, Pequeña Havana, where Angela, the chef, announced that they are open now, serving food between 9 pm and 2 am, including: Mariquitas [] The…

Wonder what's doing in Wallingford? Wallyhood is pleased to announce our Wallingford Community Calendar, chock full o' interesting happenings and goings-on about the neighborhood. So far, we've dropped in the calendar from Open Books, Wide World Books and Maps, Kate's Pub, Wallingford Chamber and the Wallingford Neighborhood Council, but we just know there's more going on. So tell us already! If you know of an event that's coming up, drop us a line at [email protected] and we'll get it added. If…

Dear Ballard: How are things? Good, good. Yeah, here too. Uh-huh. Anyhoo, we were wondering if you would be willing to send Lunchbox Laboratory over to Wallingford?

We took advantage of the opportunity to try on some new clothes, while we were at it. There may be a hiccup or two over the next couple days while we finish the switch, so bear with us.

Andrew posted a note to Twitter on Thursday:Comics Dungeon has a bunch of boxes outside and a sign on the door saying "Store Flooded!"So this Saturday, we loaded L'il Z into his Baby Bjorn carrier, donned our cub reporter outfit and headed up there to get the scoop. Manager Chris gave us the bad news: someone (perhaps an upstairs tenant) left a hose running against the back of the building overnight. When they arrived in the morning, the place had a…

As evidence by the previous post, there seems to be occasional confusion about the boundaries of Wallingford; specifically whether Tangletown, the area north of 50th to Greenlake, is part of Wallingford or part of Greenlake.There should be no confusion. Tangletown, you are we.To celebrate the inclusion of Tangletown in Wallingford, we take a Tangletown break and point you towards a reception hosted by Nancy Merrill (known to many for her spearheading the planting of literally hundreds of trees throughout Wallingford) at…
