Sustainable Ballard festival promotes green living

The eighth annual Sustainable Ballard Festival took over Ballard Commons Park on Sunday.

Although the weather didn’t scare everyone away, the park wasn’t as packed as previous years. The day was a mixed bag of sun, wind and rain.

The Seattle Farm Co-op tent actually blew away, along with their chicken coop – so they set up their chickens on the sidewalk for kids to play with.

There was information recycling, eating locally, rain gardens, bicycle boulevards, and more.

The Bubble Man was also there treating kids to his massive bubbles. (Disclosure: MyBallard is a sponsor of the Sustainable Ballard Festival.)
