In a newsletter sent out last week to subscribers, wallyhood among them, Dustin Ronspies, owner and head chef at Art of the Table which has been a neighborhood mainstay for over 17 years, said that he is closing his restaurant for good come late November. He pointedly said he would not be looking to open a new place, and implied that he and his family would be moving out of the area. No specific reason was cited for the closure other than the cumulative toll of 17 years of “long days and longer nights,” and a desire to move on.…
Bedrooms and More- Not Going Anywhere
A piece of Wallingford history is going up for sale; only this time it’s not a sad loss for our community. Bedrooms & More, a Wallingford stalwart, has just listed their original building for sale.
Fortunately, they aren’t going anywhere. They will continue to thrive in their fancy new building on the corner of 4th and 45th (designed in the offices of Wallingford Architect Stuart Silk).

Farewell summer harvests; Hello Fall plantings!
After visiting this weeks final Wallingford Farmers Market (in a torrential downpour), I found myself overjoyed at the amazing bounty our Seattle summers produce and I also find myself thinking ahead to the fall garden plantings. While autumn in the garden is typically associated with “clean up”, it is not too late to get a few more crops in the ground to turn your kitchen garden into a near-year round harvest.
Yes, you can still plant a few more things before the darkness descends!
Greens: You may not get a lush baby lettuce harvest right now, you …
