Jesse spent the day bopping around Wallingford, and honestly, this neighborhood makes it pretty easy to lose an afternoon.
Hardware store run? Covered. Dumplings, pizza, cocktails, ice cream? Obviously. Need a deeply specific gift for the person who already owns everything? Archie McPhee has entered the chat. And yes, there’s an entire store dedicated to socks.
Then there’s Gas Works Park, which might be one of Wallingford’s greatest flexes: big open space, Lake Union, and one of the best views back at the Seattle skyline. Hard to beat on a sunny day.

Wallingford people: what did we miss?
