Seattle in the summertime is a happy place. Everyone out and about enjoying this great city! Well, Marine Hardware in Ballard is doing their part to make things extra happy this summer by opening one hour early for happy hour.

That’s right, you can eat and imbibe beginning at 4pm every Wednesday through Sunday from May 29 through September 1. Happy hour runs from 4pm to 6pm, so it should technically be called happy hours!
