Throwback Thursday: Ballard postcards of yesteryear

It’s that time of the week where we take a look back at “old” Ballard. This week we thought we would focus on some fantastic postcards of Ballard back in the day.

The photo postcard below, postmarked May 26, 1909, features an image of Ballard beach. The postcard was addressed to a Miss Louise in Ballard from Iva.
