Bad Woman Yarn in Wallingford Center will be closing after a decade in business.
Judd Burrow writes:
Ten and a half years ago we closed the Bad Woman shop in Manzanita on the Oregon Coast. We were excited to move back to Seattle to be closer to a new granddaughter.
We moved Bad Woman Yarn into the Wallingford Center and quickly made it our home. This year, after significant birthday, the end of a lease, and the addition of two little grandsons on the East Coast, we have decided it is time to give up the Bad Woman and retire.…

Reports have been trickling in about rainbow butterflies littering Wallingford (and other neighborhoods around Seattle). There’s no clear answer about the purpose of these fliers, but the slightly ominous inside of the fliers directs you to an even more ominous website that states “YOU ARE NOT SAFE” and has today’s date.
KING5 has a story about the butterflies here.
