Ballard

I love all the Scandinavian shops!!!! Quite a quaint place to visit and some cool bars.

I know this is kind of old news, but I’ll put it up for discussion anyway.

“Ballard’s distinctive Denny’s diner, which was bought by the Seattle Monorail Project, is instead likely to be replaced by a large mixed-use development with roughly 40,000 square feet of retail space and 225 to 275 apartments or condominiums, according to bidders on the property.”

The last time I went to Ballard was to visit my Brother Owen. He just bought a house there!

Because I’m usually over there at least once in December, because that’s when the Squirrels are out and about…

Ballard has a lot of fun little shops. Good way to spend a quiet day.

Small town within a big city. Now the kewl part of Seattle (according to the local press).

You’ll find the Hiram-Chittendon Locks in Ballard. The locks connect the Puget Sound to Lake Union and Lake Washington. This is also the fisherman’s port of Seattle. It’s so much fun to walk through the old part of town. If you do check out the sandwich shop “The Other Coast Cafe.” (try the cajun turkey)
