Great spot for some cool photo opportunities. I like these old buildings, its a trip into the past for me.

Best place ever to do business! Super nice and professional, wont go anywhere else!

One of the oldest, and Best, hardware suppliers in Seattle. Not the Home Depot approach; these folks are Serious; best have your parts list in order; they are mostly dealing with tradespeople, although willing to work with a DIY homeowner if you know what you are talking about. Also, one of the very best Tool selections (in stock) in Seattle .

5 stars for Eric vickers, s customer service

You gotta have your stuff together when you come into this place. Dont expect to meander through the rows and rows of parts picking one thingamajig up here and there and putting it down wherever you feel like once you find the part you were really looking for. No. This is professional retailer set up for commercial business. You need the counter guy to come out to the parking lot to assess the damage on your ten speed? Tell you the best way to reattach the luggage rack to your car? GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. This is a professional place that doesnt pandor to self absorbed people.Great staff. Good pricing. Really cool sales floor. They have tons in the back. TONS! Just ask nicely, maybe write down your parts list or show the friendly counter associate a picture of what it is that you are looking for.And a pipe yard as well with many extruded pieces on hand or a day order away.

What an awesome place. Knowledge and very helpful staff. If you have anything that might need power tools, sanding, and other gear this is your place!

I just got $50 worth of free service while buying $5 of parts. What an exceptional place and historic too. Kudos to Dave who helped me get the parts I needed to get a job done in Ballard.

Can always get what I need. Knowledgable staff.

Ballard Hardware is the place you go when you cant find something. Most of the inventory is in back stockrooms with only tools and certain consumables out front so its more like a commercial supply house than a hardware store, but the selection is absolutely massive and everything is good quality.If youre looking for hard to find parts or quality tools this is the place for you. Just be prepared to stand around for a bit while the employees run around in back pulling your order and realize that this place doesnt stock cheap garbage like Home Depot.

Wow this place is awesome! The lady at the sales desk is absolutely amazing when it comes to finding and figuring out every need for our fishing vessel 😎 Well done Ms. and well done Ballard Industrial...

Great place to do business and get what you need the first time. Staff are friendly and supportive of the their customers.

This is a place where each customer gets a personal attendant. You can wander around all you like, but its fastest to go up the counter and tell the guy what youre trying to do. Then he takes you right to where the most likely part or tool is. Maple Leaf Ace Hardware is the only other place with this kind of service and they dont have the incredible warehouse these guys have. If youre in the area, this is the place to go. Hours could be a little broader though, including Saturdays, but this is really a commercial shop.John SweeneySeattle

One of your drivers was driving extremely unsafe today. Upon approaching a stop lighthe decided to suddenly get over, from a complete stop, with no turn signal. He cut off one individual who had been getting over with his turn signal, causing him to swerve, and caused me to brake extremely hard. Upon the light changing green he began speeding excessively (45 in a 35) and had a lot of trouble holding the truck in one lane. He barely yielded at the turn he made, and as I was at the stop sign I witnessed another person who had the right of way, have to brake extremely hard as well.This all happened on West Lake/Nickerson between 1330 and 1335Upon calling your company to address this issue, the individual, who told me her name was Linda, that answered the phone was extremely rude. Instead of trying to help resolve the situation, she instead acted as though I was an inconvenience and told me to call back Monday and ask for Steve the owner.I only got a partial DOT number, but the cargo was two pallets, stacked with boxes that had a blue s inside of a blue box, and 4 or 5 white tanks on their side with only one strap going across them.

Knowledgeable and helpful, perfect combo! And I didnt have to chase them down ☺️

Good people
