Thursday Morning Headlines

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far! Plus, overwhelming public support for mandatory paid sick leave, some tunnel business, the Seattle School Board's new budget, government layoffs and some wayward honeybees. more ›

Re:Take: Public Service in Wallingford

   

"Just what is your definition of a joy-rider? I don't get drunk and I am not a drinking man. I will show you whether I am a joy-rider or not," screamed Fire Chief Stetson to City Councilman Goddard in August, 1912. more ›

Re:Take: Lake Union Indoors and Afloat

   

Did you make it over to the boat show this weekend? The normal part was "indoors" at the exhibition center, while the exhibitionist part was "afloat" at Lake Union. Today our old photo from MOHAI kills two waterfowl with one grayscale stone. more ›

Naming Rights: Wallingford

Naming Rights: Wallingford

This is the latest in a series of posts examining the naming origins of our Seattle neighborhoods. Last week we stopped by Ballard, but we're following Rob's lead from Monday's Re:Take and heading over to Wallingford. more ›

Re:Take: Over Wallingford

   

How did they take this aerial photo of Wallingford around 1925? The new photo isn't quite right. Can you figure out the real spot? more ›

Drinking this Weekend: Hale's Pepsi Challenge & Cigars at the Bar

Drinking this Weekend: Hale's Pepsi Challenge & Cigars at the Bar

Legally sticking a thumb downward to the smoking ban, Brouwer's shuts down to the public and hosts a cigar and scotch tasting. $100 gets you one complimentary cigar, the opportunity to sample of over 50 different scotches, and access to both a cigar roller demonstration and a dinner buffet. more ›

Pullin' Shots: Kuma Coffee in Wallingford

  

Snob Factor? Pretty Low, but Kuma definitely takes their coffee very seriously. They are very proud of their beans and are not afraid to let you know about it. Don't be surprised if they throw out a shot or two while making your drink as they are perfectionists. We could see how their passion and pride in their product could be viewed as a tad pretentious, but just try their coffee and you will see where they are coming from! more ›

Give the Man Cake: Brouwer's & Bottleworks' Matt Bonney

Today marks his 36th birthday on this rotating orb, and although 36 is no 21 or 50, it still deserves recognition. more ›

This Weekend in Beer

This Weekend in Beer

Snoqualmie Falls Brewing is having a party to celebrate another year in the business of giving you a buzz. With some resurrected recipes poured alongside their regular lineup, the event is one not to miss. more ›

Brown-Bagging It, Bottleworks

Over on 45th in the Wallingford neighborhood and just a few blocks from Big Time Alehouse is the beer equivalent of a bottleshop. Since 1999, Bottleworks has been providing guidance to those that gravitate to its stellar selection of beer from around the world. more ›

Dishin': Salmon in the Battle in Seattle

Dishin': Salmon in the Battle in Seattle

This week marked the first Battle in Seattle, featuring Chef David Hahne of host restaurant Enotria against Chef Takashi Ogasawara of Rain Modern Infusion Cuisine. In this crudo versus sashimi competition, the secret ingredient was salmon, and both chefs plated up three courses for a panel of judges (this Seattlest among them) and a rather raucous, sold-out crowd. more ›

Lotta People Walking Dogs at 42nd & Latona These Days

This never happens to us--all we get are next-door-basement grunge-type bands--but Wallyhood has the salacious details about what our life would be like in a Russ Meyer movie: "the neighborhood gossip is that the residents are a feisty bunch of eight college-age girls. New modifications to the house apparently include the addition of a stripper pole, which has been getting its fair share of activity, to the enthusiasm of guests, audible from other houses." Eight! College-age! Girls! If this post doesn't generate search traffic, nothing will. more ›

This Just In: Tanning Causes Cancer

This Just In: Tanning Causes Cancer

Tanning salons have more to worry about than just being burgled. We've been wondering all week how the Wallingford Desert Sun will respond to the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer's recent decision to put tanning beds and ultraviolet radiation in the top category for cancer risk. more ›

Braving the Elementals

      

In the overlapping sets of Seattle restaurant owners and people who are dicks, there stands Phred Westfall, and it's not because he spells his name funny. Call him eccentric, call him quirky, call him sui generis if you must, but he's got a most unusual way of running his candy store, Elemental @ Gasworks. more ›

Do You Know Where Your Community Police Team Is?

Well, the folks in Wallingford would like to know, as they have been seeing a sharp increase of car break-ins and theft lately. In a united blog front, Wallyhood and its readers bring valid concerns and even links featuring their stolen GPS on Craigslist, to the attention of their local police teams, prompting a lackadaisical response--if any at all. Is it really too much to ask the designated neighborhood police team to do their job? Apparently it is. Go get 'em Tiger. more ›

Get Out Saturday: Edible Book Festival

Get Out Saturday: Edible Book Festival

April 4 is the not-to-be-missed Seattle Edible Book Festival (at Wallingford's Good Shepherd Center, 4649 Sunnyside Ave. N.) where word nerds, book lovers, and creative cooks can get together and cook the books so to speak, or eat their own words and laugh over hokey literary puns. more ›

A Day at the Guild

Having already seen Gomorrah, we were at the Guild this weekend for the other film currently showing, The Class. All the people in front of us in line were also buying tickets for that film, prompting the man behind us to ask, "What's The Class about?" We told him something to the effect that it's a year in the life of a French teacher and his students at an inner-city Paris school. He nodded with vague recognition, and then proceeded to buy two tickets to "Gorma." We expect he'll be back for "The Calls" sometime soon. more ›

String, String, String Goes the Trolley

Chamber music. Even the name loses you, doesn't it? Music for chambers? Why, it makes no sense! That said, Seattle is rich in terrific musicians who like to play music in small groups. The naming problem isn't really their fault, but it's hard to get people to try them out in a concert hall. Even classical music lovers feel like they get more music, on a per musician basis, at a symphony performance. It's simple economics. more ›

Disposal Centers Accepting Trash Drop-Off

Snow-crusted trash bins are overflowing all over Seattle, thanks to missed garbage collections last week. Garbage pick-up should resume today; if you're unwilling to wait your turn or for some reason the trucks skip your house over the next five days, the City of Seattle would like you to know that you can drop off trash yourself for free at the nearest Recycling and Disposal station until January 1st. The two stations located in Seattle proper are in Wallingford, on North 34th Street and in SoDo, on 5th Avenue South. more ›
