Even the historians will argue it so just choose whichever one you like best as there really isn't any legal description that means anything. It's not like you're getting taxed differently for living in Ballard vs Fremont or Phinney Ridge. It all depends on which dog contest you want to enter on which day.

So I note that nobody has said just what constitutes Ballard as opposed to Fremont.

The legal description of our property (1907) does contain “Ross Addition” and we are just off 3rd NW.

Over the last 22 years I have heard that the “line” is 8th NW off Leary and I have heard it is at 3rd NW off Leary….
The entire triangle of that land is going to all end up as commerical in the next decade or so I think.

Does anyone know the “official” line and the legal description of same?

Kudos for organizing the event!

He is old (11 and 1/2 heeler n Aussie shep) and loves to B the boss of his three cats and his pig Wilbur. If we let Henry-etta turtle out he would do his best to control her too.

Maybe he will cooperate for this event which sounds worthy n fun all at once. Is it Fremont or is it Ballard?

No light beers for Gus but he would love to sip a dark or have a special nosh meant for any of his other house mates.

Looking forward to the event! Gus says he will B on his best behaviour especially if he can dress up and meet girls too!
