Back in August of last year, Gary wrote about the possible elimination of #20 bus service which, then, never happened. However, the drama continues.

Wallyhood was contacted by neighbors several weeks ago concerning the elimination of #20 bus service in September as part of a reduction and consolidation of bus service as the Link light rail Lynnwood extension opens this Fall. The #20 serves the northern and eastern extremes of Wallingford. (See Metro’s map here.)

It is surprisingly difficult to substantiate this. Metro’s own blog detailing bus route changes, published in May, notes merely service reductions for the 20. At …

Nearly two years after tantalizingly hanging a “COMING SOON” shingle on their chain link fence and hosting a kick-off event, Gasworks Brewing has opened for business at 2401 N Northlake Way.
