The Ballard Alliance represents a strong leadership voice for Ballard and provides programs and services critical to ensuring that Ballard remains a vibrant place to live, shop, work, eat and play. Funded in part through the Ballard Improvement Area, our organization is working to strengthen relationships with neighborhood stakeholders, local elected officials, and key government staff to ensure that our neighborhood is at the forefront of public policy deliberations.

Our programs include: • Clean Environment • Public Safety/Health Enhancement • Business Development and Retention • Marketing and Promotions • Advocacy/Urban Design/Transportation • Membership • Programs • Production of the Ballard SeafoodFest The majority of the events that the Ballard Alliance organizes are in collaboration with local small business owners and residents.
