Before being interrupted, the contributors of Rain City Guide were having a nice little series on Romacing Our Homes. Seeing how tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d sum up things and add one more article on my neighborhood! So what type of romance did rain city guide contributor’s share?
- Robbie shared his love of high speed access available to his Issaquah home!
- I shared the enjoyment I get from my living room!
- Craig added a thank you to his Pike Place Market-area home!
- Grier added some memories of his home!
On to Ballard…
Anna and I simply love living in Ballard. We’ve both lived in different parts of the country (and the world!), but we’ve never lived in a place quite like Ballard. It offers a great mix of urban features (walkable neighborhoods with lots of coffeeshops, bakeries, art houses, farmer’s markets, etc.) without feeling too urban. For a relatively young family, it offered us a wonderful opportunity to own a home with a big yard and great neighbors! Thank you Ballard!
In addition to the year-round Farmer’s market in Downtown, Ballard hosts three festivals that are a lot of fun:
