On 2021-09-13, a trip to get coffee filters from Ballard Coffee Works was an excuse to get on the bike.
Homeward from Ballard
Ballard Coffee Works is toward the lower right corner, and the pins are for pictures on the way back.

When I noticed this mural of waving cats across the street, I started taking a few pictures on the way home. Wikipedia describes them as originating in Tokyo or Kyoto around 1850. Maneki-neko

I kept a lookout after that. I saw sidewalk tile labels for the old City of Ballard street grid.
20th Ave NW and NW 59th Street as 1890s-1907 Ballard knew them.
In order to set map pins, I searched and found this article which also points to a Creative Commons dataset of the old (Ballard) and new (Seattle) street names. history-blog
Approaching NW 15th Street, eastward on 65th Ave NW, there was a piece of Aztec themed street art attached to a utility pole. I've seen others around town, one in the International District/Chinatown, another one on W 15th Street in the Interbay, directly south across the Ballard Bridge.
Across 15th Ave NW, on the SE corner across from Ballard High School on the NE corner, was the demolished remains of a restaurant, "El Camion Adentro", which has reverted to being a food trailer in the Roosevelt/University neighborhood. Probably another low-rise housing development going in, it's a good place for it.
Further east on the same block along NW 65th Street, across from Ballard High (which is holding in-person classes today, masked, at the start of 2021-22) are recent condo/townhouse redevelopments, and here's another, "A New 4-Story Apartment Building" replacing an old 1-story apartment building. Infill rolls forward, but seems not to be keeping up with the people with money looking for housing brought in to work at Amazon, Google, and Facebook within the City of Seattle.
