Ghost Point is located in suite #220 of the Valhalla Building in the heart of historic Ballard at 5306 Ballard Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98107. The building is ADA accessible and has a gender neutral bathroom on the fourth floor.

If the door into the lobby is locked (it is locked on weekends and after 6pm), please call me (“Laura Rapalski”) on the callbox. The building has several entrances: the one you want is located between the store Couch and coffee shop Anchor Ship, it looks into a lobby with an elevator. The callbox is silver and it is next to the door. When the elevator arrives on the second floor, take two right turns. There is seating near my office which looks down a staircase out onto the street. Please wait in this seating area for me to come get you.

There is ample street and paid parking around Ballard. I suggest Shilshole Avenue or a few blocks north around the QFC for free untimed spots. I recommend budgeting extra arrival time to find parking, especially if your appointment is on the weekend. For Sunday appointments between 9am-2pm, while the Ballard Farmer’s Market is open, parking is extra challenging to find, especially in warmer months.

For public transport, take bus routes #40, #44, #18, #17, or #29 to Market Street and Ballard Ave. From there it is a short walk down Ballard Ave to Ghost Point. If you're taking the #40, the closest stop is actually Leary Ave NW and NW Vernon Place.

My practice is located on the land of the Duwamish people.

Land acknowledgement is a respectful recognition of the long history of human culture and inhabitance as well as the relationship between people and nature. It is an invitation to be mindful of community and place. To recognize the land and its stewards is a traditional protocol of many Indigenous people on Turtle Island.

This practice feels important to me because it reminds me of our collective story, and invites me to remember my reverence for the living world, including our non-human kin. Without the land and its protectors, we would have no food, no water, and therefore no life. I do not take this for granted. I am deeply grateful to the land and the caretakers of this land (past, present, and future) for sustaining us and the ones to come.
