Manufacturing company leaving Ballard

Posted by Geeky Swedes on April 7th, 2008

Last month, the aerospace company University Swaging said it was moving out of Ballard. Now there’s word that Ballard Brass & Aluminum is leaving the neighborhood, too. “Ballard has gotten so expensive for manufacturing that we had to leave,” said VP Mark Morel. The company has been paying $1 a square foot to lease its facility on 50th St. near 9th Ave., but it will pay just 55 cents to lease a building in Georgetown — its new home.
