Ballard Camera, located on the corner of 24th Avenue Northwest and Market Street, will be closing June 30.

The store, owned by Bruce and Kathleen Cozens, opened in 1948.

Ballard Camera will join a growing number of empty storefronts in the area.

Across 24th, All the King's Flags remains empty after closing in December 2008. Scream Barbershop, two doors north of Ballard Camera, closed in March. And, Ballard ExPress, formerly next to Scream, moved its store in July 2008.
