Since then, we’ve had 4-5 volunteer rotating weekly editors and over a dozen volunteer writers help keep the lights on! Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to contribute to this community resource, during a time when it seems like just about everyone is over-committed or simply too busy.
It seems like a good time to check in with you, readers. So please tell us, is this still the Wallyhood …
Looking for something different to do with Mom that is guaranteed to lower everyone’s stress level? Treat her to a day out at Seattle Meowtropolitan, Seattle’s first cat cafe, where today’s visit is 15% off and includes 50 minutes with kitties and a cafe beverage!
I had a chance to pounce in mid-afternoon this week, after bemusedly walking by for months. While booking my online appointment, I was advised that I may not get a lot of interaction as 2 PM is prime cat nap time. Regardless, entering the tranquil lounge was a welcome respite from noisy construction outdoors and …

The big date coming up is September 3rd, when there will be a vote on whether or …
PARK(ing) Day is a city-wide event where folks get the chance to turn a parking space into a little work of art. Best of my knowledge, nobody from Wallingford participated last year (please correct me if I’m wrong). I’d love to see that change. Here’s the deets on the upcoming deadline:
Just a reminder that you have one week to submit your applications for PARK(ing) Day 2015! Applications are due on Friday, August 28. Don’t delay—the application is quick, easy, and free!
On September 18, PARK(ing) Day will provide an opportunity for you to create fun and interactive public …
Our green cone is a thing of beauty this year with all the heat, provided a bad acid trip is your idea of beauty. I’m not sure what these things turn into when they grow up, but I know I’m not doing an Internet image search to find out:
