ballard, of all places

New G A L L E R Y update!

Seems before I moved to Seattle, every time I heard someone mention Ballard, it was followed immediately by "... of all places." Such as, "There was a punk showcase last night. In Ballard, of all places." Or "I went on a really hot date. In Ballard, of all places." Or, "we scored some really good crack. In Ballard, of all places."

It sounded like Ballard was full of surprises. Needless to say, I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into this place. Turns out that this Scandanavian neighborhood of Seattle hosts some seriously cool establishments and beautiful watery views. Oh, and the Tractor Tavern is there too, where we saw Andrew Bird and the Damnwells play. (Not together, silly.) Plus there's apparently a local obsession with bunnies, some enormous outdoor art installations, a farmer's market, and lots of good doorways and windows. Look.
