Day 33 – Ballard WA

Wandered with a friend around Ballard today.  For the those not in the know, Ballard is a neighborhood in the northern side of Seattle, and it is adorably arty-farty. I mean, it starts perfectly with competing coffee shops…

 

And a quick stop for sushi – since the Northwest is full of awesome little sushi places! Went to the yummi yummi Moshi Moshi Sushi.

 

Sitting at the sushi bar I get to look up at this amazing lit cherry blossom tree. I want one of these in my house.

I love Ballard – one of the crazy things is that they allow posts on the poles – every pole is filled with band flyers and neighborhood stuff.  It just seems so *friendly*

In case you were wondering – Aliens Exist!

So, the library is now a bar…The Kangaroo and Kiwi Pub!

What? Another Coffee place?  That’s not the draw here, the draw is Cupcake Royale…the best cupcake place ever!

Oh, this is too easy….You need to keep the kids on a short leash!!

The Cell Phone Booth is outside…

And lastly, since Ballard is always a little….weird…
