Life long Seattle lad, with stories to spare, don't worry they get better after the second micro-brew pint and never fear we will be walking off those world class beers checking out some of the cities less trodden byways. Such as Ballard! Ballard is full of breweries and boats, it connects our lakes to the ocean and mixes old industrial features with ultra modern techno housing. Craft cocktails via with dive bars across busted cobblestones. Seattle's original Scandinavian neighborhood and still home to the fishing fleet. When I am not tending bar or working one of my other gigs ( four currently) I am fond of urban hiking around the cities magnificent parks or haunting the newest brewery beer garden seeking inspiration for my next cartoon.
