Feed your sweet tooth in Ballard with Salt & Straw’s seasonal ice cream flavors. Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery is across the street and Full Tilt Ice Cream has games, beer and ice cream close-by.

Brand new hip American restaurant Sawyer has the ambience to go along with great food, with floor to ceiling windows in a renovated 1920s sawmill, a main dining room, full bar and patio. Gracia—Spanish for “grace”—provides Mexican cuisine with nonGMO, heirloom corn from Oaxaca, Mexico, resulting in fresh masa.

Shop for vintage men’s and women’s clothing at Gold Dogs or if you’re in the need for summer gear, KAVU has got what you need. Music-lovers should head to Sonic Boom Records for a variety of vinyl records and CDs.

A trip to Ballard wouldn’t be complete without visiting the Hiram M. Chittenden Ballard Locks, where visitors can watch ships pass through, view migrating salmon, tour the museum and more. Afterwards, learn more about Seattle’s Nordic immigrants at the Nordic Museum.
