  1. Is there a polar bear plunge this year at Golden Gardens new years day? …we’ve heard that there has been one in past. We are new to the community.

  2. I’m sure it was lovely at any/all of those establishments. But we stayed in, ate snacks & drank sparkling wine from G.O. which was lovely in its small-neighborhood Ballard way. Just hope the idiots with explosives aren’t as obnoxious as usual.

  3. “Just hope the idiots with explosives aren’t as obnoxious as usual.”

    Nope. the idiots started early this year, I think I heard the first one around 5:15pm and they continued well past midnight, probably 2 or 3 am. is there actually an organizer who says, “hey everyone, let’s scare the crap out of all the animals to bring in the new year”?

    my only solace is that the SeaChickens lost and didn’t make the playoffs so I won’t have to listen to any fireworks associated with them.

    @Chris– there will definitely be a GG polar plunge– probably 10 or 11am.

  4. This type of amazing article are performing well in society. This is totally related to the new year’s Eve Ballard and beyond. It is really good but these days I have no time to spend on these types of platforms because I have a very important project and I think nothing is better than a free staff writing service https://letsgradeit.com/question-category/free-staff/.
