This October, Ballard’s thrift stores are coming together to host the neighborhood’s first-ever Vintage & Secondhand Crawl.
Thread Hunter and Simple & Just are organizing the crawl, happening October 2- 4, which will include nine different thrift stores and four bars/cafes in Ballard.
To participate, you can pick up your Crawl Passport at Thread Hunter or Simple and Just. Then, you can get stamps at every participating business, some of which will have in-store activations. If you complete the passport, you’ll get entered into a drawing for a prize.
The participating stores are:
- Thread Hunter
- Simple & Just
- The Stray Fox
- Barn Owl Vintage A to Z
- Bon Voyage Vintage
- V. Allure Boutique
- Rhaay
- Soft Goods
- Rotations
And the participating bars/cafes are:
Ballard’s thrift scene has been steadily growing in recent years, with two of the participating stores having just recently opened: Barn Owl Vintage A to Z opened in July in the former Tactics store on Ballard Ave, and Rotations opened just this week on NW 54th St.
