The north end has a plethora of venues to karaoke in, especially on weekends. In Greenwood alone are six awesome Friday-night options within five minutes of my home. But every week for the past four years, I’ve chosen to sing at Tarasco in Ballard. It’s a nice tucked-away venue that usually gets packed but has occasional down nights where you’re called up 10 times. Recently renovated, its new stage showcases performers better than ever.
