From Mat’s trips
A feel for Wallingford & Green Lake
Wallingford sits between Fremont’s commercial energy and Green Lake’s recreational loop. Gas Works Park is the visitor anchor: skyline views and a landscape that keeps its industrial history visible.
Continue through 45th Street for neighborhood food, small bars and Archie McPhee’s deliberately odd retail. Green Lake gives the outing a simple finish: walk or run the loop, pause by the water and find a nearby meal.
Shape your day
