At 21st Avenue NW and NW 65th Street is another multi-family project developed by unlisted seattlehomes.com and built by Greenbuild Development LLC. The folks behind this Capitol Hill project covered at the end of last year. That was a ambitious project with brick exterior and this doesn’t appear to have the same materiality. Looks like…

Ballard Infill – 64th St and 17th Ave NW
This single family home with a detached garage was on a single lot. It was recently subdivided into (7) separate parcels for (7) new 3 story row homes (one level below grade). Just a few blocks in any direction of this site and you hit a dozen projects just like it. A neighborhood rapidly changing…
Ballard Infill – V!VE apartments
Behind Brown Bear Carwash on 15th Ave NW, just north of Leary Way before you get on the Ballard Bridge, was a lot recently developed. It didn’t appear much was going on at the sleepy, but well-traffic’d corner until last year when Google Streetview reveals nothing on 51st looking south: But then you go slightly more…
Ballard Infill – Ballard Lofts
Remember this post? Time for a serious update. The corner of 64th and 24th is activated by a well-branded coffee shop and organic market below 4 stories of apartments. This is a Johnston Architects project and this wins for two reasons: giving back to our urban environment and ground-level facade treatment. Let us explain: Giving back…
Ballard Infill – Westernco Donut shop closure
I am focused on a donut shop business I drive by occasionally because it’s on a small parcel that consists of a large surface parking lot and a tiny green 1950’s era building that I adore. It is like an Edward Hopper painting, but without the quaintness and tranquility and a more tired / worn-out facade. The donut shop has…

Ballard Infill – Fire Station #18
There is chain link fence around the old fire station on NW Market Street. The interior has been gutted down to the structure and new glulam beams are being replaced at the current site. I did a walk by today to take a look at the progress and found out SHKS Architects has designed the…
Ballard Infill – NW Peaks Brewery Expansion
This doesn’t even resemble the place I visited for the first time last winter. It was a very cold night and we rode our bikes from Fremont – down the Burke-Gilman Trail – to this humble brewery on the fringe of Ballard. Even their google map icon comes with the disclaimer “Tiny brewery &…
Ballard Infill – Merrill Gardens
There is a new senior housing project developing at the corner of 24th Ave NW and 56th St in Ballard. This is just outside the Ballard growth ring – but will soon be absorbed into the main ring as more and more lots are developed similar to this one. Currently it feels like a bit…
