Ballard

Located in an area bordered by both Puget Sound and Salmon Bay.

Welcome to Ballard

Though annexed into the City of Seattle in 1907, Ballard continues to maintain its small-town qualities and sense of independence. Located in an area bordered by both Puget Sound and Salmon Bay, water is an important part of Ballard’s community.
 
Tucked back from the sound, Salmon Bay provided a safe haven during winter months for Ballard’s first inhabitants, the Shilshole tribe. These local waters provided an abundance of salmon and clams for drying.
