Wallingford is "historic." What's next?

Wallingford is historic.

That’s according to the state’s Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. Now, the neighborhood is seeking federal recognition from the National Park Service.

Many 20th century architecture buffs in the neighborhood are thrilled with the news. But some worry the designation might be used to slow housing growth in the area.

KUOW’s Joshua McNichols has been following this and is here to tell us what comes next for Seattle’s newest historic district.
