Save money (while it’s sunny)

Ballard is home to several of Seattle’s most popular summer festivals, but thankfully, not all of them involve Viking hats and smoked fish.  The 45th Annual Ballard Sidewalk Sale starts Thursday, July 22 is the perfect weekend activity option for anybody who needs a little more in the way of retail therapy and a little less in the way of references to Leif Erikson.

Thursday through Sunday, Market Street and Ballard Ave merchants will feature outdoor displays with merchandise discounted up to 70% off.  Whether you’re on the hunt for some gently used camping gear from Second Ascent, a sundress from Velouria or some hand-crafted herbal goodness from Dandelion Botanicals, you’re sure to score a deal without being trapped inside of a mall.  Wheeeee!
