 Ballard is one of Seattle’s oldest
neighborhoods and was settled by Danish and Finish immigrants in the mid 1800s.
Today, its Scandinavian roots are reflected in its historic landmarks and
attractive winding streets.
Trendy cafes, neighborhood pubs and unique
shops have made Ballard a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike.
Stores range from home design shops that focus on “green living” to the latest
in chic apparel. Visitors can find a wide range of ethnic restaurants in
Ballard, from popular Thai cuisine to upscale dining.
Ballard’s pubs, like its restaurants, are often
known as much for their unusual settings as for their excellent fare. Converted
hardware stores, historic buildings and Ballard’s famous library have become
settings for unique meeting places, adding to the attractive atmosphere that
makes up one of Seattle’s most popular neighborhoods.
Overlooking Salmon Bay, the community of
Ballard is often associated with the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, what is locally
known as the Ballard Locks. This waterway at the northwest end of
Seattle
provides an essential link between Puget Sound and Seattle’s two principal
lakes, Lake Union and
Lake Washington. A favorite location for strolling or for
boating, the Ballard Locks are a popular summertime attraction.
The community of Ballard is also known for its
Golden Garden Park, with its panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains, sandy
beaches and winding forest trails. This popular park
located in Ballard on Puget Sound, park offers extraordinary views
of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.
A recent project restored two wetlands, established a short loop trail, and
restored the northern beach. Golden Gardens offers strolls along a rugged
coastline, hikes through forest trails, sunbathing on sandy beaches, fishing
from a pier and a boat launch.
The park is also home to an off-leash area for dogs in the upper northern
portion of the park..
