Lincoln High School Student-Athletes: a Story of Courage and Inspiration

As they noted, “Over the past several years, we’ve been working toward legislative changes by meeting with state legislators, organizing coach workshops and educational events together, and rallying our peers to address gaps in coaching education that directly impact young athletes’ well-being.

Coffeeholic House, “Seattle’s Vietnamese coffee haven,” is set to open in Wallingford this spring. 

It will be located in the retail space of the Chronicle apartments on Wallingford Avenue N near N 45th Street, but the exact opening date is unknown to the public.

Wallingford vs. Wallingford: A Faceoff

Megan Dulgar Okabayashi March 9, 2025 5 Comments

When I first moved to Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood, I joined a few local Facebook groups to get more connected with the community. It wasn’t until later that I realized one of them was actually for Wallingford, Connecticut. I never left the group—and over time, I became oddly invested in their town debates and local drama.

Last week, someone in the Connecticut group asked AI to roast their town and turned it into a humorous tourist video. Inspired, I decided to see what AI had to say about both Wallingfords in a side-by-side comparison.

And so, for your amusement…

Hi Readers,

Meet Baxter, 11 pounds of fluff and friskiness. I met him a couple weeks ago when it was chilly and he was relishing the sunshine. He can be found cruising the streets nearly every day, greeting all who cross his path. So if you see Baxter on the street, get ready to smile!

 

Pup’s Name: Baxter

Breed and Age: Toy Poodle, 5 years old

Human Companions: Christina and Ryder

What makes Baxter fabulous: He’s a total love-bug – happy to greet any and all people or dogs (except maybe one? Every dog’s gotta have a little mystery.)

What’s …

lbush March 2, 2025 Leave a Comment

Did you ever wonder about your family roots or generating a detailed Family History Tree of your ancestors, or learning more of your ancestors?   Well, the Seattle Genealogical Society is here to help.   I have known about the Genealogical Society Library being located in Wallingford’s Good Shepherd Center but had never taken the time to visit or find out what it had to offer.

From the website, the Seattle Genealogical Society (SGS), founded in 1923 is an all-volunteer, non-profit educational organization devoted to their mission:

“The Seattle Genealogical Society empowers individuals to discover their family histories through education, collaboration, and …
