I just came across this graphic illustrating one of the major changes in Ballard. Namely, that Ballard’s Nordic population is shrinking. Of course, this brings up many issues for the community.
For example, how to welcome the increased diversity while keeping Ballard “Ballard”?
How do you feel about this issue? Feel free to comment!
Have you been having problems with your Comcast cable service lately? I know I have… It looks like Comcast is willing to give a refund for your down time, but you have to call them up. Their customer service number is: 877-824-2288.
Here is an article regarding the issue from the Seattle Times:

Are you looking for a condo that you can call home? I have a client who does not want to go through the hassle of listing his condos in the MLS. (He currently has renters and doesn’t want to have a parade of people going through their place). However, he is interested in selling them… Here are the details.
Condo #1 — 1400 Hubble Place on the southwest corner of the 13th floor.
This condo is very well maintained and has beautiful views. It is VERY close to downtown.
The condo has one-bedroom with approximately 570 total square feet. It includes one parking space in the building! The current market price for this condo is approximately 190K.
Condo #2 — 92nd St and 1st Ave NW (Northgate Plaza)
This condo is a one-bedroom, 760 sq foot place with a balcony and parking in the building. The unit is on the top (4th floor)!
The condo includes a swimming pool. The current market price for this condo is approximately 120K.
If you are seriously interested in a hassle free purchase of one of these condos, let me know and I can set up a showing!
Do you have a truely remarkable home? I’ve found one of the best ways to bring out the special charactoristics of a home is by bringing in a professional photographer. My favorate photographer to use is Wendy Baker Photography. She does amazing work!
To see some of the work that she can do bringing out architectural details, check out her architecture gallery. Or check out some photos from a listing I recently sold in Sunset Hill.
Are you interested in having a professional photographer of this caliber on your side when you list your home? I offer this service to all my remarkable homes!
I’ve recently added a Ballard Community Calendar to my website. I created this calendar out of frustration with missing many events in Ballard that I was just not well publicized. I would really like to have all the interesting Ballard events in one place. Hence, I decided to build the calendar! It can be found here:

Would you be interested in adding to and/or updating this calendar? Email me and I’ll set you up with a login and password so that you can update the calendar. Or, if you prefer, just email me the event and I’ll post it on the calendar!
Where did I get the events that are currently listed?
I populatd the calendar with events that I culled from the websites listed below. Are you aware of another website that I should check periodically to see if it has been updated? Leave a comment and I’ll check that site as well!

I chose to use WebCalendar for a variety of reasons. Some of the reasons include:
If you have any interest and/or ideas about how to add to the Ballard Community Calendar, then please leave comments or contact me.
