So you're visiting Seattle? If you're looking for a relaxed area that's full of character, you should give Ballard a try. During our stay, we visited five breweries (and had the best stout of our lives), played Mario Kart in a fantastic cider tap room, browsed two great record shops and had the best oysters of our lives. And then took the short walk home each night to Kim's cosy and well-kept place down the road. It's a comfortable and clean place to chill out, watch TV, cook or read, and it's within easy reach of shops, restaurants, and great drinks. You won't regret booking in here. In fact, we're already talking about when we can do it again ourselves.
