This one runs through an area that is kind of between Ballard proper and below Phinney Ridge. I don’t know if that is any official designation, but I doubt it. I also don’t know if “Stumbletown” refers to a large concentration of pubs or if it is because the sidewalks are in really bad shape. Perhaps the combo? In any case, this area has a great local vibe and I really like the neighborhood. I hope you do too! Enjoy!
