Ballard Art Walking Tour
Second Saturday of every month
Schedule varies. |
Ballard
today is a "city within a city" that retains its
Scandinavian flavor with institutions such as the Nordic
Heritage Museum . As residential development grew in the
1950s, the branch library and community center were built
north of NW Market Street. From the industrial zones along
its east and south edges (home to many artists' studios),
to the fishing, recreational, and environmental activities
at Salmon Bay, Chittenden Locks, and Shilshole Bay, Greater
Ballard remains a thriving and diverse neighborhood.
