"Quiet street close to shopping and dining options"
Russell Avenue NW is a quiet little street in Ballard that runs between two of the major thorough fares in the neighborhood; 17th Avenue NW and Leary Avenue NW. Swedish Medical Center sits one street over to the east and Russell runs right into 17th Avenue which leads to a number of restaurants and shopping venues. One of Ballard's famous American Grills sits at 5425 Russell Avenue NW, called The Hi-Life. The restaurant is located in a historic firehouse that was built back in 1911. They offer a seasonal rotating menu with an emphasis foods flavored with a brick oven or wood fired grill. This place is exceptional. Most of the street contains older condos or apartments but a few newer options are popping up here and there.

"A little pocket"
hidden away in the heart of Ballard; with Swedish Hospital on one side and Carter VW on the other, nobody seems to notice our quiet little section.The area is basicly small offices, apartment building rentals, & an increasing amount of condos (it is Ballard,after all). It's quiet and clean, and walking distance to all of the restaurants, bars, etc. And it's a block away from the metro stops for north/south AND east/west.
