Seattle Mag names Ballard the best neighborhood in the city

Meghan Walker Ballard

It’s official: Ballard has been named the best Seattle neighborhood.

Seattle Magazine readers voted on the best-of Seattle list—Ballard was named the best neighborhood, and a few Ballard businesses were also on the list.

Ray’s Boathouse was voted as having the best outdoor dining, Un Bien is the city’s favorite sandwich spot, and voters said Wildwood Spirits Co. is the best distillery.

Seattle Magazine runs its Reader’s Choice Awards every year—voting took place a few months ago.
