Several of you have noticed that the drinking fountain at Ballard Commons Park (5701 22nd Ave. NW) has been dismantled.

According to Dewey Potter with Seattle Parks & Recreation, the fountain had been vandalized and was malfunctioning. “Our plumbing crew have removed the bowl and arm assembly and are trying to fix it,” Potter says. “If it needs new parts, they will order them and the fix will take a little longer.”
