The Salty Dog in Ballard
While shopping at Trader Joe’s next to the Ballard Bridge we noticed a sign pointing to the Salty Dog. It’s an art studio that is getting a new lease on life by the development in the area. The building was an old bakery with the ovens still standing. There are painters and potters who work there, and a glass studio next door.
This little Industrial area was besieged by the Fred Meyer store that was allowed to be developed. It’s right off of Leary Way, in the same area as Mike’s Chili. If you wanted a day trip some place, and you can over look the new development, there are some interesting places that I’m sure will be displaced soon enough.
