Did you see the cameras outside Hot Cakes yesterday on Ballard Ave? We received word from local filmmaker Brody Willis that they were shooting a commercial for a Washington Federal Bank commercial.

We don't know what it's about, exactly, but the bank was born in Ballard nearly a century ago, founded by local businessmen in 1917. They just reopened their Market St location this past March after the old building was renovated. (It had been flooded several times over the decades and had black mold growing.)

Brody sent us a couple pictures of the film action.
