About Dockside Cannabis Ballard

Dockside's Ballard store is on Leary Way NW, the old industrial corridor that links Ballard and Fremont about a mile from both Ballard Commons Park and the Fremont Troll. It draws regulars from Ballard, Fremont, Phinney Ridge and Wallingford, and reviewers point out that many of its staff have been there for years.

The Ballard team is known for strong product knowledge — and strong opinions — and for introducing customers to new Washington brands. Like all Dockside stores, it offers a "Like It or Trade It" exchange guarantee, a rewards program and online pre-ordering, and customers mention app-based discounts. It is medically endorsed, and staff help patients complete their Washington medical recognition card in store.

Google lists Dockside as women-owned and Latino-owned. The store is open 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily and has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking lot.

What Customers Say About Dockside Cannabis Ballard

4.7 out of 5 from 362 Google reviews · read the reviews on Google

Ballard has a 4.7-star average from more than 350 Google reviews. Customers describe budtenders who explain why they recommend each product, keep picks within budget and know the inventory well enough to suggest options for specific activities; first-timers call the shop clean, cute and well organized.

Two criticisms come up in 2026: a few shoppers found prices noticeably higher than shops further north — one compared a gummy brand at $30 here against $20–22 elsewhere — and one felt staff were pushy about their own favorites. The in-store ATM also charges a fee of at least $3.

This summary is written by The Weed Street Journal from a sample of public Google reviews. It is not a paid endorsement.
