Reports of Door-to-Door Scammer in the Neighborhood
The Wedgwood View and Maple Leaf Life have reported of a door-to-door scammer in our NE Seattle neighborhoods. The man, ‘Martin,’ has reportedly behaved very strangely leading some to believe that he could be targeting mothers and children. Please remember to use careful judgment when answering the door and don’t give out either your name or the names of your children.

Is Wedgwood Pedestrian Friendly?
As part of the Vision Plan process that Wedgwood undertook in 2009/2010, the community aspired to be “a safe and pedestrian-friendly community that welcomes diversity and where a commitment to sustainability is everywhere apparent.” However, is Wedgwood currently pedestrian friendly? Wedgwood is located on a topographic ridge and a sizable chunk of our neighborhood is separated east to west by nearly 110 feet of elevation gain.

Our business district is fragmented into two nodes to the north (near NE 85th Street) and Read More …
