Neighborhood Matching Funds Workshops
Suppose you had a great idea for a large neighborhood project. Maybe you’d like to start a community P-patch, or install a “Little Free Library” kiosk, or maybe you want to improve or update safety features of a building in the neighborhood. How do you get started?
Well, you can visit Seattle’s Neighborhood Matching Fund website for starters, but if you’re serious about seeking a matching award from the city’s Large Projects Fund, you’ll have to attend one of their three mandatory workshops before submitting your application. The good news is that one of the three workshops takes place next …

Chroma Salon
Wallyhood welcomes our newest sponsor, Chroma Salon and Spa, located at 1905 North 45th Street.

Reader, Wallingford romance writer and CoolMom Kimberly Christensen has a neighborly request to the owners of some wayward poultry:
Attention chicken owners in lower Wallingford (near Irwin’s): Twice within the last week a trio of hens has made themselves at home in my front yard, scratching and pecking for worms amongst my lovely (and now somewhat trampled) tulips and daffodils. I would love for these chickens to stay in their own yard. While I admire people who keep chickens, I am not one of them for a reason. And I don’t wish to have my yard play host to chickens …
Seattle Schools: Last day and Lincoln to reopen?
Lincoln High School Alums might be interested to know that Seattle Public Schools is thinking about reopening Lincoln as a high school in 2018; but before everyone breaks out the red and black pom poms, this is very early speculation.

And then Lincoln will need to be modernized, including undergoing seismic retrofitting. Plus, there’s a small matter concerning a new levy which needs to be put to public vote in February 2013, called the Building …
Musical Plates Returns to Wallingford
Back in December, we told you about White Moustache Urban Adventure Company’s musical/foodie mashup, Musical Plates. For $200, a couple can eat and drink their way around Seattle. In a tour bus. With a band. The bus stops at select restaurants, the guests go inside, nosh for a bit; and the band hops out and plays live. Everyone gets back in the bus which takes them to the next location. Sounds awesome, yes?
If you’re intrigued, then you’ll be happy to know that White Moustache has planned another Musical Plates for next Sunday, April 15 from 4:00pm – 8:00pm with …
