Why Join the Alliance?

Your membership with the Ballard Alliance provides an opportunity join an organization that has been championing local businesses since 1927.

Benefits Rates Structure

Review our Member Benefits Rate Structure below to figure out which membership category applies to you.

If your business is within the Ballard Improvement Area, you are automatically a member. If your business location is outside the BIA boundary but within Ballard, you are eligible for a Classic membership. For questions about Ballard Alliance membership, please contact Sophie Iannone at sophie@ballardalliance.com.

If you are outside of both boundaries but would like to support the neighborhood, please contact us about Ballard Music & Seafoodfest sponsorship opportunities.
