I think you mean Sonic Boom? The only Easy Street location now is in West Seattle, I believe. I remember the Ballard location because I had the good fortune to walk in on their last day when the manager's goal was to physically move as little stock as possible to another store. I would have felt worse about it except he was so happy to be starting a new job the next day he was practically singing. I'm sorry that shop is gone, though, and even more sorry about Queen Anne. And now we've lost the Seattle Silver Platters too.

And yes, you can still hear the sea lions from time to time. I have a friend who lives on a boat at Shilshole. :-)
