Traditionally Seattle's ethnically Scandinavian seafaring community, Ballard balances its seaman heritage with award-winning (and some not-so-award-winning) eateries and shops that'll fill belly and your home with all manner of delights.
This market is a hipster's dream. I guess I should be more specific and say that it is a alt-folk-hipster's dream. While walking through this year round market your ears will be filled with music by local buskers while your eyes are filled with fresh vegetables, artisan goodies and puppies! The Ballard Farmers Market is open every Sunday from 11am-4pm so go there and make a farmers day! Every Sunday 10am-3pm, year round.
