Beyond Acknowledgment: Indigenous Wallingford Futures
Historic Wallingford has launched a research initiative to center Indigenous histories in how we understand and share this neighborhood’s story. We’re working with Indigenous scholars and researchers to explore Coast Salish presence in Wallingford across time, from ancestral stewardship to present-day community and future possibilities.
Wally-Home Resource Fair 2026: Thank You, Wallingford!
On April 25, we gathered at Wallingford Center for a day of vendors, resources, workshops, and neighbors connecting over their homes and their neighborhood. It was a full house and a great time.
Thank you to everyone who showed up: neighbors, volunteers, vendors, speakers, and supporters. This event happens because of you.
A special congratulations to Swanson’s Shoe Repair, this year’s Historic Wallingford Legacy Award winner. Thank you also to Melinda Hannah for the beautiful painting created to commemorate the award.
