Nine months after the launch of MyBallard.com, we’d like to properly introduce ourselves. Our names are Cory and Kate Bergman. And Kai, too.
It was Kate’s idea to start a blog shortly after we moved to Ballard in October of last year. Yes, we’re technically “New Ballard,” although Kate has “Old Ballard” roots: her grandma was born and raised just a stone’s throw from our home. We were so excited to be in the neighborhood, we started to write about it.
We’ve been anonymous because we didn’t want My Ballard to be confused with our “real jobs.” Kate is the morning coordinating producer at KING 5. Cory is the director of business development at msnbc.com (and at the time, the director of digital media for KING 5). We’ve been journalists for our entire careers, and My Ballard became a way for us to explore our new neighborhood while experimenting with community-powered journalism. After all, you power this blog. Not us. We just moderate it.
We thank you for making My Ballard what it is today, and we’re excited what the future may bring. Now if you’ll excuse us, we have to teach Kai how to blog.

Exactly what are Assessment Purchasing Motors? Assessment looking engines accumulate item info, which includes rates, by partaking retailers after which it present that collective information about the same final results webpage throughout respond to some sort of shopper’s seek dilemma. That way, shoppers can easily review each and every retailer’s selling price, transport options, in addition to services on a single page as well as opt for the product owner that gives the top all round importance. http://www.cenyofert.eu/listing/delta-poziomica-mini/

will you help me please. I lived in Ballard between 2009 and 2011. during that time i went to the ballard goodwill to get used frames to put my kids art in . i bought an old frame with a random piece of art in it. when i took out the art to use the frame. there was a gorgeous vintage wedding picture taken by the professional photographer Edward Johnson circa 1940? Its a gorgeous wedding phone and i think it should go to someone who can identify these people as their family. I had contacted the UW library as they have a lot of Edward Johnsons photos, they wanted the picture and were not interested in locating family. Im not sure why this photo was covered by a random piece of art…and ended up at goodwill. I would like to send you a photo of the picture, but I’m not able to do it here. Perhaps you could post it if i sent it through private email and place the photo on your blog to know if anyone can identify. Its hand painted like they used to color photos and its big with original paper Edward Johnson paper frame with his name on it. 8 x11 ish. I live back in Austin now, and would love it to find its family home thanks wendy Livingston
