I have lived in Washington all of my life. I have always thoroughly enjoyed shopping downtown Seattle. I enjoy such shops as JCrew, Banana Republic, Anthropologie, Gap, Old Navy and of course, no shopping trip is complete without a jot into Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. For so many years, I thought this was what made up downtown Seattle. Until I discovered that there are also so many fun boutiques, gift shops, furniture shops, etc. if you walk closer to the waterfront on 1st and 2nd Avenue.
This last year I discovered Ballard. Now, it is a different type of shopping. Your big stores are not in Ballard. But, if you are looking for that special something that you have no idea what it is, and if you are looking for a little more of a quaint area to shop in than the vast downtown, go to Ballard. The other wonderful thing about it is that Cafe Besalu's delicious pastries are just up the street from the shopping.

I love Seattle!

I also love Seattle! Ballard is a fun area, too. It'd be fun for us girls to go together!
Not only is Ballard a cute place but it also has the BEST Bakery this side of the Atlantic Ocean! No joke! I think Paige would agree. :)
YES---Ballard is so fun. There's this pub/restaurant we've gone to and it has great pub style food. I forget the name of the place unfortunately.
