Skate shop Tactics recently opened in Ballard at 5209 Ballard Ave. NW — its first location in Seattle.
What started as a storefront in Eugene, OR, quickly expanded into a popular online destination for boarding equipment. To celebrate its grand opening, Tactics is hosting three days of festivities with refreshments and prizes Friday, May 10-Sunday, May 12.
What’s on the schedule:
- Friday, May 10, 5-8 p.m. — Raffle prizes from popular skate brands (ticket proceeds benefit Ballard Food Bank), T-shirt customizing, refreshments, and a pop-up for snowboard binding repairs
- Saturday, May 11, 12-2 p.m. — Open skate sesh at the skate bowl in Ballard Commons Park with Tactics staff + pro skater Greyson Fletcher
- Sunday, May 12, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. — Waffles and coffee for brunch, with Vans Skateboarding gift bags for the first 25 customers (and just a few steps away from Ballard Farmers Market)
