5335 Ballard Ave. N.W.

In the red-brick heart of Old Ballard, Little Tin Goods and Apothecary survived the pandemic, serving drinks and small plates, but shuttered last fall after a 10-year run. Its home had changed hands the prior year, as part of a larger three-building deal in that same area. Veteran local investor Bryan Syrdal then acquired the vintage trio from Equinox Properties. Storefronts don't stay vacant for long along that very popular shopping and dining street.
