Notes:
The City of Seattle annexed the City of Ballard on 05/29/1907. As this article indicated: "The Ballard Newspaper reported: 'Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the fire bell of the city hall rang 22 times and the flags on the city hall and fire headquarters were lowered, and Ballard became part of history, and was made part of Greater Seattle. Many of the citizens, while favoring annexation to Seattle, wore a look of sorrow as the former city went out of existence.' The date was May 29, 1907, the official day of annexation, when Ballard became just another Seattle community. It was also the day that Seattle expanded north of Salmon Bay, gaining the booming industrial businesses located there, along with Ballard's 15,000 industrious and tax-paying residents."
