Don’t miss this year’s Nordic Lights Film Festival…
The Nordic Heritage Museum in Ballard is thrilled to present the eighth annual Nordic Lights Film Festival, hosted at SIFF Film Center on the Seattle Center campus. Each year the festival focuses on contemporary, award-winning films from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. This year, included are films from the Faroe Islands.
The Festival runs from January 12th-16th, 2017. Tickets and more information can he found at here: https://nordicmuseum.org/nlff
This Saturday, July 9, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday, July 10, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m, Ballard Seafood Fest (https://seafoodfest.org/) will take place off of Market Street, Ballard Ave, Leary and 22nd.
SeafoodFest originally began in 1974 as a community celebration of Ballard’s historic connection to the fishing industry and the neighborhood’s Nordic roots.
Today, this free two-day festival attracts over 65,000 people who come to enjoy the traditional salmon barbecue and much more: the lutefisk eating contest, local music, arts and crafts, family entertainment, a beer garden, a skate event, and yes – more seafood!

Spring Cleaning – Hazardous Chemicals Edition
Now that we are warming up, many of us are itching to do some Spring Cleaning. If you are like me, I have an assortment of things like old clumped fertilizer, small cans of hardened oil paint, and an ancient can of oven cleaner that really cannot go into the garbage. What to do? Luckily, King County has 3 Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites and 1 Mobile Unit. Follow the links for regulations, hours, and directions:

We woke up at 1:30 this morning to a large natural gas explosion, just a few blocks away. Fortunately no one died, but 9 firefighters were injured. I have several real estate clients in the area that were shaken but otherwise okay. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families of the affected businesses.
