Seattle Self-Guided Ballard Ghost Tour 90 min

Explore Ballard after dark on a self-guided ghost hunt through the neighborhood’s brick-lined streets. Once a mill town before Seattle annexed it in 1907, Ballard still carries traces of its past along Ballard Avenue. This Seattle Self-Guided Ballard Ghost Tour begins at the avenue’s bell tower and follows a loop of about 1.3 miles, usually taking around 90 minutes.

Use the Questo app to track down ten fictional ghosts and solve the puzzles tied to their stories. Clues draw on neighborhood lore, from a doctor’s blood chart connected to the 1952 flu outbreak to a senator’s evidence folders and a librarian’s locked closet. Each solved puzzle brings you closer to uncovering which ghost is lying. In-app hints and 24/7 support are available, and you can pause whenever you like before picking up where you left off. Play any time of year, whether you’re exploring as a couple, with family, or in a larger group. Bring a charged smartphone with internet access, then follow the app through Ballard on your own schedule. Set out on this Seattle Self-Guided Ballard Ghost Tour and see what secrets the neighborhood’s old streets reveal.
