BALLARD FEATURED IN "SAS NORGE MAGASINET"
Ballard is one of the main highlights of "Seattle - Lefse is beautiful!", the Seattle travel guide in Scandinavian Airlines' in-flight magazine's March issue. We're especially excited to see our neighborhood featured as one of the city's top destinations. The article is in Norwegian, so we paid a visit to our friends at Olsen's Scandinavian Foods and got some help with a few translations*...
Their introduction is a short description of Ballard: "In Ballard, it's popular to be Norwegian. Norwegians have been coming here since the late 1800s. Things are changing though. Ballard is becoming hip, but Olsen's Scandinavian Foods still stands strong." A humorous caption also describes one of Ballard's specialties: "Driving Ballard-style; small, Scandinavian ladies in big cars driving extra-cautiously with their left blinker on all the time".
They also recommend Blackbird, and offer a short description of our store: "Blackbird: Fashion boutique for men. A large selection from several well-known designers. They also have a selection of small things like wallets and shaving supplies". They also interviewed our previous manager, Ari Cohen, for his recommendations on where to shop and eat in Ballard.
