Sightseeing
Hear me out: the Ballard Locks are pretty cool. This American Society of Civil Engineers historic landmark has a great little park and a window into the Locks's salmon ladder (actually cooler than it sounds, I promise). There are free tours that provide great history and context of Ballard, the Locks themselves, and their importance to Seattle and Western Washington.
