Q: Where do you take the man who has given you so much for Father’s Day? A: To the Octopus Bar to stuff himself with hot dogs all for a good cause!

“Dad, I just wanted to say FRANKS for being there”.

“Your jokes are the WURST, but you’re a real WEINER and I RELISH our time together. So let’s MEAT and KETCHUP June 19th at The Octopus Bar for a Father’s Day Hot Dog Eating Competition”!

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!

They boast eco-friendly business practices and tasty treats. Their pops are 100% natural, 100% vegan and nearly all flavors …

Walk by the old, shutdown Ramona Cleaners on 40^th and Wallingford Avenue and you’ll see the face of Sweet Lilly, the 9-year-old Great Dane and namesake of the new business Sweet Lilly’s Droodles.

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 …

Just down the street from the Tangle Town Public House, MKT and Zoka Coffee, a different form of stress release joins the Tangletown community. The Still Point: Massage Therapy moved into the neighborhood in October. With COVID cases down and pandemic anxiety still looming large, I nervously ventured for my first massage in many years. While it has been a while since I’ve had a massage, I am not a stranger to massage therapy, but during this difficult times, looking for something to feel relax is essential, as I also tried using the best CBD gummies which also help me …

Nestled in bed, here in Wallingford, I awoke to the sound of sirens — and a lot of them.

At 7:12am, a firefighter’s shift was just wrapping up when a call came into the Seattle Fire Department — he knew the address — this would be the third time he was called to an abandoned house on 5th Avenue NE and 40th Street to put out a potentially deadly fire. I spoke to firefighters once the blaze was safely contained and they described the scene inside the home. At first they thought it was the home of a hoarder, but …
