This one goes from under the Ballard Bridge, more or less northbound to Golden Gardens Park, a very popular beach in Seattle. I try to follow along the Ship Canal as close as I can. This route also goes right by a big moorage and there are hundreds of boats, a couple of yacht clubs, and maritime life… things (I don’t know much about boat life, lol). In any case, I had never been along some of these streets so it was an adventure for me, too. Enjoy!
