We loved our stay at the gorgeous Blue Jay; the aesthetic is artsy, eclectic, and the perfect mix of modern and vintage. And after a long day of hiking, it is the perfect place to come back to and turn on the stereo, have a beer, and do a puzzle. Ballard is hands down our favorite neighborhood, and the place is walking distance from cool shops, eateries, breweries (fave we tried is Reuben’s), and the locks. Christina was a superb host, so easy to communicate with, and there were tons of suggestions for local places- only wish we had time to try them all. Thanks so much for a fabulous and comfy place to call home during our time in Seattle!!
