Neighborhood

It has been almost a year since we opened, and we're having a great time on the other side of the street. Market Street that is. In Ballard of course, and across the street from Market Street Shoes, our parent, or sister, store. Market Street Athlete was born of community requests for a place to find athletic footwear in the neighborhood. "In the neighborhood", because shopping locally matters to you, because having to go to the mall, or downtown, or Greenlake for that matter, is not what most of you would like to have to do for a new pair of running shoes, or hiking shoes, or cleats, or...well, you get the point. "In the neighborhood", because this is where we live, work, and play. Because this is where we bring our friends and relatives when they come to visist, to the Locks, to Golden Gardens, to Discovery Park, to the Farmer's Market, to dinner, for a stroll through the fall leaves, or a run through the crisp morning air, or a hike through Carkeek Park (because it hurts our pocketbooks to get to Mt. Si.) Because we raise our kids here, we learn here, we start careers here, we retire here, and we grow old here. This is our neighborhood, the quality of which is a result of what we all bring to it, and we are rewarded with an enviable community, a Neighborhood, that we call... Ballard.

See you in the Neighborhood
