Established in 1889, Ballard was its own city until residents voted for annexation by Seattle in 1907. It’s a big neighborhood, but most of the action is scattered along two main streets, Ballard Avenue NW and N.W. Market Street between 17th Avenue NW and 24th Avenue NW. The trendy neighborhood is known for its Nordic roots and place in Seattle’s maritime industry past and present, facts that are reflected in two of its key attractions. Set in a stunning facility on Ballard’s working waterfront, the Nordic Museum showcases the traditions, art, and spirit of Nordic cultures. “Nordic Journeys,” its permanent exhibition explores how these cultures have spread around the world through immigration and other means.

A short walk west of the museum, the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks—also known as the Ballard Locks—provide a boat passage between Puget Sound and the fresh water of Lake Union. Here you can watch boats come in, stroll through the surrounding parks and peek through an underwater window to watch salmon stream through the fish ladder to spawn. Head to the visitor center and experience exhibits and a gift shop.
