I'm Allen Schwerer from Ballard Elks Lodge#827 in Seattle WA and I just wanted to extend an invitation to our Brother and Sister Elks from Lincoln NE to visit us while attending the upcoming UW/UN game in September. Cornhusker Fans and Alumni are almost legendary in their devotion and loyalty to their team and are noted for their attendance at away games. I'm sure several of these visitors will be from your lodge and I hope they drop by for a visit while in Seattle.
Our lodge is located on the shoreline overlooking Shilshoe Bay in Ballard. The Social Area and Auditorium are located on the second floor of the building and parking is plentiful and free. The Social Area (lounge) has windows and a deck that have a spectacular view of Puget Sound. We feature a Happy Hour, Sunday-Thursday 3-6PM, and you'll find it a restful, scenic, and thrifty respite during your stay in Seattle.
We are located at 6411 Seaview Ave NW, Seattle WA 98107 (Ballard is the name of the community we are located in) and our phone# is (206) 784-0827. We have a website, which is a bit dated but provides further details. There are staff available to answer questions Tuesday-Friday, 10-3 PM and after 3 PM your call is routed to the Social Area.
Yes, our membership are devoted University of Washington fans (Dawgs) and we have one weird bartender who is a devoted LSU fan (we are a tolerant lot); but hopefully we can all share some friendly jibes and stories during your visit.
Hope to See You: Allen S
