The Coyotes eat the cats who eat the rats who eat the trash…but where do the crows fit in?

Being top of the food chain, Wally-humans may not fear for our own safety when we see a legged or winged predator, but a quick glance at any of the neighborhood facebook groups reminds us that we have a lot of opinions on the growing number of coyote sightings in the neighborhood.  A heated debate has emerged on the topic of outdoor cats — some fearing for the safety of their free-roaming feline friends and others essentially taking the side of …

Hey! Wanna grab a drink? Yes, YOU!

It’s been a weird couple of years and we are eager to see our neighbors again!

Join Wallyhood writers and editors out back at Murphy’s for some appetizers, pitchers of beer and lots of neighborhood talk. Wallyhood is, after all, designed to elicit news, stories and gossip from the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle, and where better to get all that than on a pub patio in the summertime?!

After a two year respite, one of Seattle’s most colorful traditions returns in all its whimsy. The Fremont Solstice Parade is back — but without a Wallingford finish in Gas Works Park this year.

The 2022 Fremont Solstice Parade kicks off at 3rd Ave NW and Leary Way, continues along 36th Street, then takes a right on N. Evanston, looping back westbound on 35th Street to end right in the heart of the Fremont Fair!

Saturday, June 18th 2:00 pm – People Parade: More than 60 community-based, people-powered ensembles will parade down the streets of …

Anytime I get a last minute invite to a friend’s house for dinner, I have one clear stop to make first — just up the street to Tres Lecheria (formerly Cubes Baking Company). There are few things that satisfy a crowd more than a perfectly executed, sweet and silky Tres Leches cake! Last time I was there, they even had handmade jewelry and dog apparel (though that is not the main attraction)!

Our very own award-winning dessert shop, will be hosting a …

This weekend, the sun was shining and Wallyhood was out to welcome back Seattle Pops, after its winter slumber.  This neighborhood popsicle shop had a lengthy closure during the pandemic, but opened back up last summer, then closed for the cold winter months, and has now emerged once more!

Seattle Pops started as a freezer stand at a block party in 2013, hit the farmers market circuit in 2014 and has been here serving icy refreshments in the Wallyhood since 2017. They boast eco-friendly business practices and tasty treats. Their pops are 100% natural, 100% vegan and nearly all flavors …

The pet treat business is the brainchild of Leslie Shelton, owner of Sweet Lilly’s and a Wallingford resident.

Wrote Shelton in her Sweet Lilly story:  “In 2012 my husband and I made the decision to open our hearts and home to a new puppy. After the loss of our first Great Dane, Abby, it took years to get over the pain and …
