Final (?) Parking Zone Plan Is In

Jack September 29, 2019 Comments are off

Those of us living near Restricted Parking Zone 22 (in southern Wallingford east of Stone Way) or Zone 34 (in eastern Wallingford near 40th) recently received a mailer from the city entitled Notice of Decision describing changes to these RPZs. The very title as well as the actions to take place in just the next month or two have me believing that, this time, “final” means final.

Back in June, I wrote about SDOT’s most recent proposals for these RPZs based upon citizen input and surveys. Essentially, SDOT was contemplating two significant modifications to the plan they had at that …

Local dendrophile Burb Burrill writes:

My friend Lori Brakken will be at Meridian Playground [4649 Sunnyside Ave N, technically] on Wednesday, Sept. 25, from 4 – 7 pm, to tell you what kind of fruit you have. Lori is THE expert in apple ID in the greater Seattle area. I’ll be there with Lori to answer your fruit tree care questions.

We’ll have a canopy and table set up in the park on the north side of the hedge, separate from the Wallingford Farmers Market.

If you want your fruit identified, it’s best to bring samples of the actual fruit.…

Catnapper Update

Jordan September 21, 2019 3 Comments

Faith in humanity restored. Following up on our Catnapper story, it turns out that, despite the visual evidence to the contrary, it always pays to leave an open mind until you have all the evidence. Frederic writes:

Epilogue: The person who picked up Toulouse thought it could belong to a friend of her whose cat is also missing and looks very much like Toulouse. In doubt, her friend Steve eventually brought Toulouse to the Cat Clinic of Seattle on Stone Way where his microchip could be read.

Thank you very much to all of you who have taken the time …
