Save the Date: the Return of Wallingford Walks

dawnoftheread April 14, 2018 1 Comment

As the new librarian for the Wallingford Library, I’ve been talking with folks and trying to get a sense of what sort of programming would work with our small library and amazing neighborhood. I decided to develop a series of educational programs that go outside the library, lead by people from the community, showcasing both local resources and library materials. Little did I realize that I was reinventing the wheel! I recently learned that Wallingford Walks previously was born as the brainchild of Mike Ruby, who has generously shared his archive of information with the library.

Our first walk of …

Know Where to Go: Interactive Toilet Map Is Here

Jack April 12, 2018 4 Comments

I’m sure we’ve all been there. You’re walking around the city. It could be Seattle; it could be someplace else. Suddenly, you need to go. But where? You look frantically for a public restroom sign, but there are none to be seen. In desperation, you slip into a nearby cafe, tiptoeing past the “Restrooms for Customers Only” sign. On the way out, perhaps a twinge of guilt prompts you to buy a cup of coffee — partly renewing the problem that brought you there in the first place.

Now, the city has taken a step so that we can put …

Young BF Day Learners Thrive in Pre-K

Nancy White April 10, 2018 16 Comments

In September of 2017, something new arrived at BFDay…a City of Seattle sponsored Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) classroom, complete with three wonderful staff and 20 high energy 4- and 5-year-olds. Led by Ms. Alice, with Mrs. Monica and Mr. Alvin, these 20 amazing children have been rocking room 206 with energy, learning, and community.

The Pre-K program welcomes children from families across the city. It was established in 2015 starting with 33 classrooms across the city and has now expanded to 54 classrooms throughout Seattle. The program provides sliding scale quality pre-kindergarten that emphasizes preparing children for school, development of pre-academic skills, …

Wallyhood reader Stacey writes:

I’m with Cascade Bicycle Club and event assistant for the 3rd annual Emerald City Ride which will take place on Sunday, April 8th.

Specifically for the Wallingford/Fremont area: riders will be exiting off of …

SDOT Takes Input on New RPZ Plans

Jack April 5, 2018 22 Comments

Last Wednesday, SDOT held a public hearing at the Hamilton International School to solicit comment on proposed changes to the Restricted Parking Zones (RPZs) in our neighborhood. A review of the RPZs by SDOT had been solicited by neighbors impacted by an influx of drivers seeking all-day parking during weekday business hours. The meeting, attended by about 75 people, began with a brief outline of the proposal by SDOT followed by 2-minute comments from residents and then time for questions.

This RPZ proposal has been under development for some time, informed by an SDOT study of parking patterns in the …

Aakanksha Agarwal April 3, 2018 1 Comment

[Editor’s note: With this article, Wallyhood is pleased to welcome Aakanksha Agarwal, a self-described “food and lifestyle writer” to our writing staff. Aakanksha is a recent arrival to Seattle, and we are happy she has chosen to make our neighborhood her home. Look to see more from her in the near future.]

“If you can walk you can dance; if you can talk you can sing.”

An old Zimbabwean saying, hanging in a little frame on the wall set the mood as I waltzed (If you can waltz with three left feet!) in at Dance Fremont, for their spring concert …

Say “Hola!” to New Ethan Stowell Restaurant Coming to Stone Way

Jack April 2, 2018 5 Comments

Lovers of the Ethan Stowell restaurant empire will welcome a new eatery opening some time this spring on Stone Way. While I would love to say that we got the scoop on this first, the Seattle Met got the jump on us, and they have the story here.

The new Stowell place, called Super Bueno, will be located at 3627 Stone Way — just a few doors up from Manolin. The cuisine will be … what else? Mexican. If you’ve been to Frelard Pizza, another Stowell space, and have taken advantage of the kids’ play area to gain a bit …
