BellinghamToss-up between Bellingham and Greater-Ballard area, but Seattle is more of a shithole so advantage to Bellingham.

Ballard (and nearby neighborhoods)There are a bunch of brewpubs in Kitsap that I have frequented, went to Port Townsend Brewery yesterday, and that's always been good.

I may be mistaken, but I heard that the first bar to serve Hale’s was the bar I hung out at in college. I know that it was the first micro I ever drank…PurpleThrobber said:

BellinghamI’ll go with Bham just because the drive is short but hard to beat Ballard if I was down there. Snohomish had a cool scene that flew under the radar but I think Covid hit it hard. Haven’t check back to see if they recovered or not
