Entertainment & Activities
A great local movie theatre, with all the latest releases. Popcorn with real butter is always a family favorite to munch on during the show. What makes this cinema so special is that Bev went into labour with our son during the movie and we had to leave early. Still haven't seen the end of Charlie Wilson's War....

Drinks & Nightlife
Just a couple of blocks away from the cottage, our "local". Not only do they have a great selection of local IPA's, make sure you ask for the 'secret menu' item of Tater Tot nachos to eat while supping the beer.

Without a doubt, one of the best bars in Ballard. If your looking for some Scottish charm, this bar has it all. With a restaurant attached we highly recommend the 'Chips with curry sauce' for the ultimate Scottish cuisine.

Sightseeing
One our families favorite things to do at the weekend is to go out walking around the neighborhood and the route that never fails to impress is down to the Locks. Located within a comfortable half hour walk, the Locks are not only free but it is also one of Seattles top ten tourist attractions. During the Summer months you can see large volumes of boats, everything from large yachts to dinghies travel through the Locks. Depending on the month you can see the five main Pacific Salmon travel through the fish ladder.
