Besalu has some of the best pastries in Seattle and good coffee, too! Check out the seasonal offerings. Since the pandemic they have pivoted successfully to ordering online for takeout, so place orders ahead!

Sightseeing

Hear me out: the Ballard Locks are pretty cool. This American Society of Civil Engineers historic landmark has a great little park and a window into the Locks's salmon ladder (actually cooler than it sounds, I promise). There are free tours that provide great history and context of Ballard, the Locks themselves, and their importance to Seattle and Western Washington.

Ballard has a rich Scandinavian history, and the newly-constructed Nordic Museum is home to a wonderful slate of (now virtual) events to connect the neighborhood's past to the present.
