Biking from Fremont to Ballard last week, I passed by the Pono Ranch, nestled quietly on the west side of the north end of the Ballard Bridge. It’s a refreshing oasis in the middle of an industrial zone, offering fresh baked goods, expresso and juices, a full bar, and a menu featuring organic or naturally raised meats and produce. It’s somewhat difficult to describe the environment, which features a huge outdoor area and an eclectic mix of materials either repurposed from the original structure or salvaged from various sources. I hope this view helps you visualize what it feels like to be at the Pono Ranch on a warm, sumner evening in July.
