Pagliacci pizza Ballard on 85th pretty good. Love portage bay cafe. Le gourmand best fine dining and sambar bar beat for high quality hand crafted cocktails.

BSIMBY indeed. Good one, Black_Sheep. (And Veraci rocks, even before they stopped rolling and hung up a permanent shingle.)

The West Seattle blog has been around longer, that's all.

Next year we'll clean their clock!

“Best Place to Get Wasted and Play Ping-Pong”
Isn't that a Stranger type of designation?
Shameful, and The Bit deserves better, frankly.
I expect The Weekly to be above that crap. Hear me?
Also, we know the Swedes are the winners. I'd guess they have a loftier goal coming, and most deserved.

Wrong website for Dutch Bike Co., it should be: http://www.dutchbikeseattle.com/

But Veraci got it this year, per Ballardman. YAY! :)

After scooping the big papers again and again MyBallard only gets second place? Why, I'm outraged!
That's okay, I stopped taking that poll seriously after Pagliacci kept winning best pizza.

Congrats to MyBallard.com as well for the 2nd place (you were robbed!):

"Best Neighborhood Blog: They'll be all up in a budget meeting or design review one minute, then reporting on shop cats and graffiti-tagged mailboxes the next. Be you NIMBY or YIMBY, so long as your BY is West Seattle, the West Seattle Blog has you covered. (MyBallard.com comes in a close second.) westseattleblog.com."
