Ballard is a neighborhood in Seattle, Washington. Incorporated as an independent city in 1890, it was annexed by Seattle in 1907, but has retained much of its old Scandinavian flavor. Its major landmarks include the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (usually referred to as the "Ballard Locks" locally), the Nordic Heritage Museum, and Golden Gardens Park. It is bounded by Crown Hill, north of N.W. 85th Street; Phinney Ridge and Fremont, east of 8th Avenue N.W.; Salmon Bay (part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal) to the south; and Shilshole Bay (part of Puget Sound) to the west.

  • Nice thing about Ballard is, haircuts are only four bucks. (A buck a side.)
  • I've lived in Ballard before. It's a great part of the city. Now it's really growing with new businesses and condos everywhere.
  • At Archie McPhee's you can buy FREE BALLARD bumper stickers to show that you're against the yuppification of Ballard. Archie McPhee's is a fine establishment.
  • Mars Hill is located by the Ballard Fred Meyer and is a fantastic Christ-centered church. www.marshillchurch.org
  • Its a wonderful neighborhood that's sadly being eaten alive by developers
  • So, has the gentrification stopped after the economic collapse?
