A new burger joint is getting ready to open right next door to Malena’s Tacos at 2008 NW 56th St.

The owner of Seattle Burger Co., William Wen, says he will sell hand-crafted gourmet burgers in the price range of $4-$7. Although there are several newer burger places in Ballard, such as The Counter and Hamburger Harry’s, he says they’re not really affordable. Wen says he’s about four to five weeks from opening. If you’re interested in working there, you can email Wen at: wswen845@aol.com. (Thanks Mike and Darcy for the tip!)
