Begin at the terminus of Ballard Avenue at Market Street . Walk down the west side of the street. Get into gear at Kavu (5423 Ballard Ave), an independent retailer of active wear that’s appropriate for dense woods or dinners out. Cross the street to Marley’s Snow-boards (5424 Ballard Ave NW) if you’re considering a ski trip to the Cascade Mountains. Where 22nd Avenue meets Ballard Avenue is a large brick belltower, rebuilt from the original when Ballard’s City Hall tower was destroyed by Seattle’s devastating 1965 earthquake. At 5344 Ballard Avenue, Olivine Atelier entices with a luxurious boutique featuring local and European designer clothing and makeup. At the next intersection, you’ll notice the highly stylized roof crest of what’s now the Starlight Hotel (5300 Ballard Ave NW), which still has “Bank Building” across the top a full century later.
Cross the street. Look for Tractor Tavern , a musical outlet for local and touring musicians who play jazz and country rock. Second Ascent (5209 Ballard Ave NW) specializes in clothing and gear for budget-minded fans of outdoor recreation. Find a remnant of days gone by at Dock Street Brokers (5101 Ballard Ave NW), whose signage matches the style of its century-old structure at 5109 Ballard Avenue. If you’re hungry, turn back and stop in The Other Coast Cafe (5315 Ballard Ave NW) for East Coast-style sandwiches.
