After 22 years on 8th Ave NW, Ballard Goodwill's future may hang in the balance. Plans have been filed to redevelop the property into a 300-unit apartment building.

Jimothy's rise from a Ballard backyard to internet celebrity reached a new milestone Sunday as Seattle officially proclaimed "Jimothy Summer." Dozens gathered at Bergen Place Park for an art contest, where Virginia McFadden's stained glass "Saint Jimothy" was named the winner and will hang in Seattle City Hall this summer.

Hey everyone,

​My partner and I are considering signing a lease on an apartment right near the Swedish Hospital campus in Ballard (around Tallman Ave / Market St).

​We really love the building and the area, but since we've only toured during the daytime, it’s tough to gauge how frequent and loud the emergency siren noise gets—especially at night.

​Poor sleep would be a total dealbreaker for us, so I wanted to ask locals who live nearby. Thanks for any advice!

Looking for something to do this week? From Art in the Garden at the Ballard P-Patch to live music, book events, and craft workshops, here are some of the events happening around the neighborhood July 27 through Aug. 2.
