Where is Mighty-O?
Friday, October 16th, 2009Customers call up and ask us where we’re located all the time. This often spurs a debate among the Mighty-O staff - how do we describe our location? Are we in south Green Lake? Are we in north Wallingford? We are definitely in Tangletown, but a lot of people don’t know where that is, so telling people to come to Tangletown doesn’t always help.
Well, apparently we aren’t the only ones trying to figure out which neighborhood we belong to. It all started a few days ago when our friendly neighborhood blog, My Green Lake, asked the question, “Where is Green Lake?” Their conclusion was that if you can easily walk to Green Lake, you live in the Green Lake neighborhood. This clearly includes Tangletown.
Then our other friendly neighborhood blog, Wallyhood, weighed in. They have their own answer to the question “Where is Green Lake?”, and they claim Tangletown is part of Wallingford.
The debate rages in the blogs’ comments and on Twitter. Is Mighty-O part of Green Lake or part of Wallingford?
But don’t worry! We make enough organic donutty goodness to spread across all of Seattle, so we can share our donuts across neighborhood boundaries.
Open for July 4th Weekend
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009We’re going to be open our normal hours for the weekend of the Fourth of July, so come celebrate with a donut! We’ll be here on Friday from 6am to 5pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 7am to 5pm.
Pet Adoptions at Mighty-O
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009On Saturday, June 13, Mighty-O will host MaxMobile, the Seattle Humane Society’s mobile adoption unit. From 10am to 2pm, a great big yellow van full of cats, dogs, and critters who need new homes will be parked outside our store.
Most of us here at Mighty-O have pets, and a few of us have even adopted from the Humane Society. They do wonderful work, not only at finding new homes for pets but also providing continuing support for pet owners. They offer a wide range of training classes, services for low-income pet owners, microchipping, dog boarding, and other services for animals and their owners.
If you’re looking for a new companion in your life, this is a wonderful opportunity to meet some cats and dogs who are ready to love a new family!
