For more than 68 years, Wallingford has hosted Seafair’s longest running parade. This All-American event is the official kickoff for the neighborhood activities during the summer months.
The Wallingford Family parade is attended by thousands of people and come from near and far to line up along 45th Street to watch, participate, and enjoy this traditional event which features local businesses, drill teams, marching bands and family oriented organizations celebrate and compete for awards.
The Wallingford Family Parade starts at 11:00am running between Interlake Avenue North and Bagley Avenue North along North 45th Street.
As the leaves begin to change colors, neighbors and businesses all over Wallingford look forward to “Wallyween” when children don their scariest costumes and “Trick or Treat” through the residential and business areas. For years, Wallingford has been recognized as one of the best communities for Halloween festivities, haunted houses, and loads of treats.



Near the end of the year, the Holidays bring out the shoppers visiting many of the retails shops and Wallingford Center searching for locally made crafts and gifts. A walk down 45th Street and Stone Way is a feast for the eyes and a reminder that living in Wallingford is a great place for celebrating a small-town life with big city amenities.



Wallingford is an old Seattle neighborhood which was originally developed between1900-1925 when well-to-do business owners built their Summer cottages on the hill North of Lake Union. It was a place to relax with family and get away from the hectic and noisy life in the city.
Today, those craftsman and bungalow beach homes still remain, but are now in high demand by people who wish to live in a remodeled vintage home built at the turn of the 20th century. In the past 20 years Wallingford has seen a huge influx of families who enroll their children into the language immersion programs at John Stanford International School which is consistently recognized as one of the best public elementary schools in the country.
This architecturally preserved neighborhood reminds us of the tremendous growth that has taken place in the past 100 years. The combination of highly coveted homes, excellent public and private elementary schools and a walkable main street of businesses support an idyllic lifestyle; Wallingford is a small town in the heart of Seattle.
Wallingford’s boundaries run East-West between Interstate 5 and Highway 99 and North-South between 60th Street and North Lake Union. This area covers approximately two square miles with 22,000 residents. Most people don’t know this, but Wallingford is made up of five different business districts.
The most recognized retail area in Wallingford is on 45th Street between Stone Way North and Bagley Ave N, which provides commuters and residents with a variety of different sized shops both chain and independently owned. While this area is well known there, are other districts that add to the variety of opportunities available in Wallingford. The five retail districts are:


Today, 45th street is one of Seattle’s busiest avenues during commuter times as Ballard, Fremont and Wallingford residents drive to work or school each day. Known for it’s walkable main street the atmosphere in the Historic District; with tree lined streets, pubs, ice cream shops, QFC, boutiques, restaurants and numerous crosswalks, has been the iconic identity of Wallingford for more than 100 years.
No matter what you are craving, there is a meal waiting for you in Wallingford. Eat at one of the many restaurants with fare from around the world, from Japan to Afghanistan. Then dessert is available with an option of Gelato at Fainting Goat or a scoop of ice cream at Molly Moon’s.
The neighborhood’s unusual and hip-before-hip beer purveyor, Bottleworks (1710 N. 45th St.), has the beer for you. Visit City Cellars next door and choose from an amazing array of quality wines.


(4219 Wallingford Ave. N.). Tucked amid the Craftsman homes and south of the neighborhood businesses, this super kidfriendly park has it all: padded playground, wading pool (June 26-Aug. 16), benches and tables, a nice tennis court, bathrooms, and expansive greens for pick-up soccer games or volleyball games.

This park (4649 Sunnyside Ave. N.) is home to a great expansive of green and an old apple orchard. The north entrance is an artistic archway made of river rock that opens into a wheelchairaccessible labyrinth of swirling rock and cement. Kids enjoy the literary inspired play area designed with swings, a sand castle inspiring play pit and a variety of imagineering playground equipment.

Trophy Cupcake (1815 N. 45th St.) located inside the Wallingford Center put Seattle on the cupcake map and helped start the nation’s cupcake craze. Martha Stewart loves them!
Brick façade on the outside, wide-wooden stairwells on the inside, this former residence for girls and operated by nuns (4649 Sunnyside Ave. N.) is something to behold. It’s set against the east edge of Meridian Park, and is practically hidden from view. But the building, with a chapel on the 5th floor, and its grounds, complete with the famous Seattle Tilth P-Patch, make an interesting tour before or after lunch.
Wallingford Farmers Market is located in beautiful Meridian Playground, behind Good Shephard Center (at the corner of Meridian Avenue N and N 50th Street). This European style market is open every Wednesday, 3:30-7 p.m., from May 16 to September 26. Chefs Market every Wednesday from 3-3:30 p.m. For more information call: 206-706-0615
Is the East entrance to Wallingford from I-5 and the University District. It’s a place to go to satisfy indulgences for tattoos and smoking pipes, wine & spirits, food truck cuisine, hamburgers & fries, manicures & tanning, pizza & comic books and old collectable vinyl records.
The North end of Wallingford is home to a high concentration of mostly retail businesses on N 55th Street near Meridian. It is a more modern and updated version of 45th Street dotted with local favorites; Zoka Coffee, famous Mighty-O Donuts, Elysian Brewing Company, Kisaku Sushi, Leny’s Pizza, artist shops and more. Tangle Town gets its name from the irregular configuration of Seattle’ s street grid in this transition zone from when the street cars used to operate in the area.


Wallingford’s Northend nicknamed Tangletown –but don’t let a long-time local catch you calling it that – is a business hub formally called Meridian and hidden away between Greenlake and North 45th Street. When the Elysian Brewery located its Tangletown pub there (2106 N. 55Th St.) in 2003, the name stuck. Elysian has some of the best

Going on nearly every hour of every day at Woodland Park (1000 N. 50Th St.) is a soccer match, baseball or softball game, a tennis battle, high school athletics and a scene of crazed motocrossers leaping off man-made dirt jumps next to skateboarders dipping and catching air on the neighboring skate park. The Olmstead Brothers, John Charles and Frederick Law, originally designed the park (Seattle Parks and Rec handled the recent motocross and skater additions), as well as many other beautifully crafted public lands in Seattle.
brewed beer in Seattle. And right next door is Mighty-O Donuts (2110 N. 55th St.). The donuts are amazing and oddly, healthy. Try the French toast donut, or the lemon poppyseed and be sure to have a cup of coffee. The donut-maker has the beans specially roasted by Caffe Vita.
Gasworks Park is the backdrop for lakeside fun at it’s best with boating, biking and kite flying at the picturesque park with the downtown view. At the intersection of Stone Way, breweries, wine shops and restaurants await visitors who have worked up an appetite from outdoor activities.
Wallingford is truly a walker’s paradise and the views of downtown are quite something, especially heading south down Wallingford Ave. N. Take a dog or a good friend down this street which t-bones into Gasworks Park, a historical landmark.
This street used to be just the place to go for all your home repair or remodeling needs. Today it is the also location of a residential boom town with new condos, restaurants and fitness studios popping up where long-time building trade businesses once operated.
Bastyr University’s Medical Clinic leads the health services community with a large naturopathy clinic, while a myriad of chiropractors, massage and acupuncture therapist offices fill in small offices along Stone Way. Additionally, a variety of dance, martial arts and drama schools offer classes to keep everyone fit and moving in the right direction.
