WE HOSTED THE WALLY-HOME RESOURCE FAIR
Our Wally-Home Resource Fair on May 31 was a great success, and we look forward to following up with topical Zoom webinars this fall. Visit this link for a recap. Other happenings include our 40th anniversary celebration of the Animal Storm sculpture, another Roaring Twenties Speakeasy, and more!
THEN:
Historic Wallingford partnered with sculptor Ron Petty to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Animal Storm sculpture, a longtime neighborhood treasure at 45th and Wallingford. The celebration included a virtual exhibit with vintage videos and photos, a feature in the July 6th edition of the Seattle Times’ Pacific Northwest Magazine, and culminated with Wallingford’s annual parade that honors the sculpture with its “Wild in Wallingford” theme.
2024 Activities
