The Curbed Cup, Curbed Seattle’s annual Neighborhood of the Year tournament, is on and today is your chance to vote for Ballard to win. They are down to the Elite Eight and we are facing Wallingford in today’s vote.
Currently Ballard is the number one seed in the competition after defeating the International District in the first round.
Although all Ballardites surely know why we should win, check out Curbed’s reasoning:
A piece of Seattle for 106 years now, to some it’s the home of Seattle’s gritty blue-collar shipyard folk. To others, it’s the home of every condo or apartment building ever built. (And don’t even get them started on the apodments…) Somewhere between the upscale buildings, trendy eateries, old school haunts and ever-changing main street, Ballard continues to redefine itself.
Everyday Curbed posts one match-up for readers to vote on, with results reviewed on Friday. Polls are open for 24 hours only.
Click here to cast your vote and ensure that Ballard is reinstated as the reigning champion in this year’s competition!
