Ballard Bridge creativity-inspiring space for offsites, strategic planning, and workshops.

THE SPACE Great for a group of up to 25 people, the space offers an all-in-one space where you can hold your meeting or planning session, break for a brief walk to nearby Ballard eateries or breweries, then enjoy a special turn-key teambuilding session, creativity or innovation workshop, or special customized life-sized games. Our flexible 600 square foot space with a view of the canal is just right for your next effective meetings, strategic planning session, retreat, workshop, and team offsites. Configure our tables and chairs, use the whiteboards, log into our wifi, and present your vision on our 43” monitor or projector (available by arrangement). Your rental includes the use of a separate reception room where you can hang coats and staff a welcome/check in desk, use of our kitchen area, and - if it is not out on tour - some interactive play time on our Picture This Interactive Game Wall. The view, the colors, the Giant Dice, and the game-like checkerboard floor all comprise our innovation-inspiring play space, where we create all types of learning, engagement, and training games, exercises and activities. Part of that inspiration is the South View that looks out onto the canal and Fisherman’s Terminal docks where you might spy a fishing boat from the Dangerous Catch series. Learn the special signals that raise and lower the Ballard Bridge and watch vessels large and small glide under the opening arms of the Bridge. This industrial building was built in the 50’s (we think), and is solidly built with that 70’s industrial olive feel and matching his/her’s symbols on the minimalist bathrooms entrances. TURNKEY YOUR DAY Great for your retreat or offsite for up to 25 people, this is an all-in-one space where you can work, eat, and play. One suggested day at the space might be: MORNING: Reconnect the team over coffee, plan, strategize, and brainstorm in this inspiring space. Project that workplan, breakout into groups, and set your goals as you can only do away from the usual workspace. LUNCH: Eat in with your catered or boxed lunch, or stretch all of the legs and minds of your team eat at one of the many nearby Ballard eateries or breweries, only a 5 to 10-minute walk away. AFTERNOON: Enjoy a special turn-key teambuilding session, creativity or innovation workshop, or special customized life-sized games at special rates. Tell us your teambuilding and learning goals, and we’ll create a package of purposeful play that makes every moment of your day enjoyably effective.
