Congratulations to the Ballard News-Tribune staff on such an excellent issue commemorating the 100th anniversary of Ballard's annexation by Seattle. It was a really enjoyable read, and reminded me that perhaps the "Passport To Ballard" is in need of an update - or a new printing, at the very least.

The Ballard News-Tribune has always been a consistently strong voice for the neighborhood residents. I was proud to be a part of that small family, if only briefly.

Keep up the good work.
