InBallard.com
The original InBallard.com site, created in 1998 by Ballard designer Hovie Hawk, was one of the first online guides to Ballard. Hawk created the site as a way to showcase what he saw as the best places to drink, eat, shop, and play in, what was then a very sleepy, quiet Ballard community. There were many great little boutiques that were going unnoticed and so the idea of a site promoting the best places came about. Since then Ballard has certainly changed and has become a booming, vibrant neighborhood. In 2009 Hawk joined the In Ballard Merchants Association and agreed to allow the organization to use the site as their official site.
