Meridian_and_45th_SE, facing North:
- You can see part of the "WALLINGFORD" sign on top of the QFC building across the street. For many years (prior to QFC taking over the building) that sign read "FOOD GIANT", in the same lettering style. When QFC took over the property there was some hullabaloo about the sign, so QFC recycled some of the letters from the original and put up what you see here.
