We received a couple of pictures over the weekend that we wanted to share of scenes from around the area.
The slogan “Free Ballard” isn’t just for cars. Tom with Fremont Tugboat Co. sent this photo along and says, “Thought I would send along this pic of a rig we towed out of drydock. Here is a vessel owner with a good sense of humor. I think the old name was the Aleutian Ballad. This same company is always painting something new on the boats.”
John sent us this photo and says, “Longtime Ballard Resident skateboarder Kevin Schlosser taking his turn in the sun in the Ballard Bowl Sunday morning.”
Although we snapped this photo ourselves, the idea came from Elliott in the forum. Elliott writes, “If you’re a fan of cherry blossoms, check out the amazing trees in Sunset Hill on 33rd & 80th, extending south for a couple of blocks. They are spectacular right now! There are old gnarly trees (who’s roots are creating havoc with the sidewalks), as well as younger trees. Beautiful!”

Hey this is my block and we love the trees too. Kinda messy but worth all the clean up, to have these in our front yard and all the way down the street is wonderful. Please come to our neighborhood to see them they truly are a real treat! The kids love playing in the petals when they fall it is like it is snowing!
