If you want both low cost and good quality, you want Ballard Camera! They are quick and will re-do prints if you don't like how it turns out. They have a large stock of equipment, chemicals, and photo paper if you develop things yourself as well. They also have a good selection of scrap booking supplies. Parking can be an issue since they're right on Ballard Way, but it's worth it, especially if you're in a hurry. If you want even higher quality prints, go to Moonphoto on Greenwood.

Although the manager likes to interupt the hall with overly loud annoucements during the game with what one may call a "bad attitude", that i believe could wait till intermission, the hired staff itself can be Smug to newbies while they dote on the regulars. They do have seating area outside for smokers with a loud speaker so you can still play if you need to smoke before the break! Which brings me to the multi intemissions for smokers, a normal 3 hour game session turns into a 4 hour because of this. Pull tabs..... the ladies that run the tabs are in general polite, but could speed it up a little ok ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!! The rest rooms. Absolutly GROSS!!!!! With the money this place brings in they could at least fix the toilets which have signs that ask the person using it to hold the handle until it flushes, thats just lazy & rude! If you are one that is annoid easily or has a lack of patience like myself, then is NOT the hall To choose!

I'm not a smoker, but I came in here looking for a gift for a friend for his birthday. They have some quality smoking ingredients here, as well as fancy (but expensive) accessories. Some lighters would have been a good gift, minus the 30 dollar pricetag. The atmosphere was not my style. The staff seemed a bit shady, and the people hanging around outside didn't seem to be smoking the normal kind of tobacco. This store makes the entire block look much worse.

The Cooperstown is in reference to the massive assortment of baseball cards and coolectibles. He must have everything the Mariners hae ever given away at games. I got a really sweet deal on an autogrpahed photo.

I first came to Cameratechs when a competitor claimed to fix my camera, and it broke again. They told me the truth, and fixed it right. I've brought everything to them since, and they do excellent work. They'll also say when they can't fix something, check things out for free, explain things clearly, and geek out about cameras. Totally trustworthy. Wish I had places I could depend on like this for other things...

Game Wizard is in Ballard and quite a distance from my home, but I go up there every now and then just to keep in touch. Game Wizard is a local center for the gaming community. The store is small, but jam packed with stuff, and they have a space for gaming next door. There's also good greasy food available down the street and parking never seems to be a problem.

More
When I saw how small Gary's Games was, I was worried their selection would be small, but I was proven wrong. I came in just last night, so they were temporarily out of several games I asked about (due to it being just two weeks after Christmas), but the fact that they carry them at all is pretty cool. They seem to have a great selection of imported games and games from lesser-known publishers.
I'll admit this is the first store I've been to that was dedicated to board games, but it was just what I was looking for. I was impressed by the fact that they had a lot of card games and that they had a whole case of pawns, counters, die, and other game accessories. They have a whole wall of games by Cheap Ass Games, in which access to these game pieces is important. They also had a book and figurine section and a whole wing of the store dedicated to jigsaw puzzles and model airplanes.
This is definitely a gamer's game store. (They even had a small group of people in the thick of a role-playing game when I was in the store.)
Their classic games section was a little bit spare, but it seemed like they were kind of low on everything as a result of it being just two weeks after Christmas. Prices seemed standard. I left the store after spending about $50 on several new games and game pieces (pawns, Monopoly money, etc) and was very pleased with my purchases.

You can stop in and say hello! to Manny and Roger and get a keg to go now at their brewery in Georgetown. If you haven't had either, you are truly missing out, both are among the best beers out there and trust me, I've had more than a few (hundred) Go visit them next time you need a keg (or a pony for that matter-or even a growler!)
