Ballard FC &
Salmon Bay FC

Athletic Apparel & Merch

Ballard FC is a semi-professional men’s soccer team that we launched in December 2021. We play our home games at Interbay Stadium with an average attendance of 1,500 per game. We have grown an amazing following in the community and beyond and recently we launched our women’s team Salmon Bay FC! We sell tickets, sponsorship, merchandise, and youth programs. Our merchandise is sourced through different vendors depending on the product.

Smål Gallery

Original + Printed Artworks

Smål Gallery is a rotating, artist-curated space for local art, original works, and unexpected finds. Curated by four local artists, the gallery is an approachable place to begin or grow your art collection.

We showcase pieces shaped by individual stories and selected with care. Our collection spans a wide range of styles and mediums, including paintings, metalpoint, photography, collage, and more. Be sure to check out the drawers for editions and small originals!

Visit Ballard ArtWalk (Second Saturday of the month)

to discover our latest pieces and meet the artists!

Noir Lux Candle Bar

Hand Poured Soy Candles

Noir Lux has grown from a pandemic passion project to a brick + mortar and community hub in short time. Our space is rooted in self-care, good vibes, and nostalgia, and each item that we curate is handcrafted in small batches, specifically with you in mind.

Our apothecary carries items crafted by small black vendors, as well as many of your Noir Lux faves.

Our candles are created with 100% all natural soy wax, and include high quality 100% phthalate-free fragrance oils.​ We use wooden wicks in our candles. We love the calming crackling sound that wooden wicks produce, but that's not all; wooden wicks are eco-friendly, they burn slower and last longer than cotton wicks, and they release fragrance better and faster.

Riverbed Lifestyle

Riverbed specializes in high-end, handcrafted artisan coffee cups, kitchenware, and household goods. We cater to customers who appreciate thoughtful design, superior craftsmanship, and durable home essentials. Our audience includes individuals who value sustainability, intentional living, and timeless pieces that enhance their daily routines.

We carefully source our products by collaborating with skilled artisans and small-scale manufacturers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability. Each item is designed to blend functionality with artistic expression, ensuring long-lasting value. Our materials and production methods prioritize eco-conscious choices, appealing to customers who seek beautiful, responsibly made goods.

Visit Ballard

The Visit Ballard store is a celebration of Ballard’s community pride.

Operated by Visit Ballard—the marketing arm of the Ballard Alliance—this space is dedicated to promoting neighborhood tourism, strengthening local identity, and showcasing everything Ballard has to offer. Stop by to explore the neighborhood’s rich culture, learn more about what makes Ballard unique, and pick up some Ballard gear to show your local pride. The store features Ballard-branded merchandise, artwork by local artists, and items from community events like Ballard SeafoodFest.

Smål Market is funded in part through Congressionally Directed Spending secured by U.S. Senator Patty Murray in 2024. Funding is administered through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Smål Market was created and is managed by the Ballard Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring Ballard remains a unique and vital community for its residents, visitors, businesses and property owners.
