Things to do in Georgetown & Ballard, WA??

lluukkiinn

I will be in Seattle next month, and going to go find the Georgetown Record store this time PJ stood in front of . I was also intrested in checking out the town and also Ballard. Anyone know of any good places, like for shopping (trendy stores, record stores, vintage sell shops ect...) or know of any good bars (prefubally with maybe some music history..doesnt have to be PJ)live bands, and also of course, good places to eat.

Thanks in advance for your help!

In Ballard go for drinks and a little food at Hattie's Hat, and then wander to the Tractor Tavern as Sennin mentioned for some live music. Also check out the Sunset Tavern for a fun live music venue. That would be a good intro to Ballard.

If you're going to be in Georgetown, why not take the West Seattle Bridge over to, you guessed it, West Seattle, and check out Easy Street Records. They've got a diner attached to it, so you could have some lunch and do some shopping. Cupcake Royale is across the street from Easy Street in West Seattle, so you could check off another of Sennin's recommendations with that visit.

Fremont and Wallingford are right next to Ballard Fremont has pretty much every cool shop and the Fremont Troll, Wallingford has gasworks park (Temple of the Dog video shoot) and some realy good restaurants. Just cruise along 45th St/Market St and you'll keep yourself busy all day.
